MIME Type Lookup

v1.0.1

Look up MIME types by file extension or search by content-type string.

Looks up MIME types by file extension or by type string — returns the canonical type, common aliases, typical file extensions, and whether the type is text or binary.

How to use
  • Enter a file extension (e.g. ".svg", ".webp", ".wasm") to find its MIME type.
  • Or enter a MIME type (e.g. "application/json") to see its associated extensions.
  • Check the "text vs. binary" column to know whether to open files in text or binary mode.
  • Use the charset note to see which MIME types should include a charset=utf-8 parameter.
