About the MIME Type Checker
Setting the wrong Content-Type header makes browsers download files instead of rendering them, or block scripts entirely. Type an extension, a full filename or a search term to find the correct media type instantly.
You can also drop a real file in to see the type your browser reports for it - useful when validating an upload pipeline. The searchable table covers images, video, audio, fonts, archives, documents and web formats.
