About MIME types

MIME types describe the format of a file or HTTP response body. Servers use them in Content-Type headers so browsers, clients, and APIs know how to handle the content.

Common uses

  • Choose Content-Type headers
  • Configure upload allow lists
  • Check static asset types
  • Document API response formats

Notes

MIME type mappings can vary between systems. Use these values as common defaults and confirm special formats in the relevant platform documentation.

Examples

Find a Content-Type header

Search for json, svg, webp, or pdf to find the MIME type commonly used in HTTP responses.

Check an upload extension

Look up a file extension before configuring accepted file types or API validation rules.
