Why Use MIME Type Finder?

MIME types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) tell browsers and servers how to handle different file formats. Configuring the correct MIME type is critical for serving files on the web — an incorrect Content-Type header can cause browsers to download files instead of displaying them, break API responses, or trigger security warnings. Our MIME Type Finder lets you search by file extension or MIME type string to instantly find the correct mapping. Whether you're setting up server configurations (like Nginx or Apache mime.types), building file upload validation, configuring API response headers, or troubleshooting why a file isn't rendering correctly in the browser, this tool provides the authoritative MIME type for hundreds of file formats. Browse by category — images, documents, audio, video, fonts, archives, and code — or search for any extension or type to get exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MIME type?
A MIME type is a two-part identifier (like 'image/png' or 'application/json') that describes the format of a file. The first part is the type category (image, application, text, audio, video) and the second part is the specific format. Servers use MIME types in Content-Type headers to tell browsers how to process the data.
Can I search by file extension?
Yes. Type any file extension like 'pdf', 'jpg', 'csv', or 'woff2' and the tool will show you the corresponding MIME type. You can also search by the MIME type itself (like 'application/json') to find its associated extensions.
What is the difference between 'application/json' and 'text/json'?
The correct MIME type for JSON is 'application/json' as defined in RFC 8259. While 'text/json' was used informally in the past, it was never an official standard. Always use 'application/json' for API responses and JSON files.
How many MIME types are included?
Our database includes 200+ MIME types covering all common file formats across categories including images (PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), audio (MP3, WAV, OGG), video (MP4, WebM), fonts (WOFF2, TTF), archives (ZIP, TAR), and code/data formats (JSON, XML, CSV).
Where should I set MIME types on my server?
MIME types are typically configured in your web server's configuration. For Nginx, use the 'types' directive or the mime.types file. For Apache, use AddType directives in .htaccess or httpd.conf. For Node.js/Express, the 'mime' or 'mime-types' npm package handles this automatically. In API responses, set the Content-Type header directly.
