About this tool

MIME Types helps web developers, API teams, QA engineers, and support staff search common media types and HTTP Content-Type values for files, responses, uploads, and downloads. Use it for JSON APIs, image uploads, CSV exports, PDF responses, email attachments, and browser rendering bugs.

Use cases

  • Find the right Content-Type for a JSON, CSV, PDF, SVG, PNG, WebP, or multipart upload before updating API documentation.
  • Check why a browser downloads a response instead of rendering it inline by comparing the file extension with the served MIME type.
  • Copy media-type names into curl examples, OpenAPI specs, test fixtures, or support replies without relying on memory.
  • Review charset-related text types such as text/html or application/json when debugging mojibake, encoding headers, or CSV imports.

FAQ

What is MIME Types best used for?

MIME Types is best used as a searchable reference for media type strings used in HTTP Content-Type headers, file uploads, downloads, and API examples.

What input and output should I expect?

Search by extension, type, or description. The output is a copy-friendly MIME type or content-type reference entry rather than a file conversion.

Does the MIME type guarantee browser behavior?

No. Browser handling can also depend on headers such as Content-Disposition, sniffing rules, CORS, charset parameters, and server configuration.

What edge cases should I verify?

Some extensions map to multiple registered or vendor-specific types, and standards evolve through IANA registrations. Confirm the expected type in the target platform when compatibility matters.
