What is MIME Type Checker?
MIME types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) are standard identifiers for file formats on the internet. They tell browsers and servers how to handle different file types.
This tool provides bidirectional lookup: enter a file extension (e.g., .pdf) to get the MIME type (application/pdf), or enter a MIME type to get common file extensions. Supports partial matching for convenience.
