What is MIME Type Lookup?

MIME Type Lookup is a quick reference tool for searching file extensions and MIME types (Content-Type) in both directions. Useful when configuring HTTP response headers or implementing file upload features and you need to quickly confirm the correct MIME type.

How to Use

  1. Type a file extension (e.g. .json), a MIME type (e.g. image/png), or a keyword into the search field.
  2. Click a category chip (text, image, audio, video, etc.) to filter to that type only.
  3. Each card shows the MIME type, its associated extensions, and a description.
  4. Click the copy button next to a MIME type to copy it to the clipboard.

FAQ

Can I look up the MIME type from a file extension?

Yes. Searching by extension, such as ".json", shows the corresponding MIME type.

What if one MIME type has multiple extensions?

All associated extensions are shown as badges on the card.

Does it include obscure MIME types?

It focuses on commonly used MIME types in everyday development work, not an exhaustive official list.
