MIME Type Lookup help

MIME Type Lookup maps between file extensions and MIME types using a curated table of the types people actually need.

Steps

  1. Type an extension like png, or a MIME type like image/png.
  2. Read the match and any alternate extensions.
  3. Search a keyword to see every related type.

Common questions

Is the list complete?

No. It covers common document, image, audio, video, font, and archive types. Rare or vendor-specific types may be missing.

Why does one type have several extensions?

Some formats have more than one common extension, like jpg and jpeg. The first one listed is the usual choice.

What is the port table for?

Quick reference when reading firewall rules or connection strings: 443 is HTTPS, 5432 is PostgreSQL, and so on.

Does anything leave my browser?

No. The tool runs entirely on this page.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you enter or drop is uploaded.
