What is MIME Types List

Last reviewed: April 18, 2026

MIME Types List is a searchable reference of Internet Media Types (MIME) covering the most common formats you encounter in web, office, media, and font workflows.

Each entry pairs the canonical MIME string (application/pdf, text/html, image/webp, ...) with its usual file extensions so you can pick the right Content-Type header or file filter in seconds.

Why use it

Set correct Content-Type headers on HTTP responses.
Configure file-upload accept attributes.
Pick MIME filters in storage / CDN rules.
Teach MIME conventions to new developers.
Debug downloads that render as octet-stream.

Features

50+ curated MIME types
Full-text search
Paired extensions
Grouped into text, image, audio, video, font, office
MIME Types List never leaves your machine

How to use MIME Types List

Type a keyword. e.g. 'image', 'docx', 'json'.

Example (before/after)

Filter

image

Matching MIME types

image/png                 .png
image/jpeg                .jpg / .jpeg
image/gif                 .gif
image/webp                .webp
image/avif                .avif
image/svg+xml             .svg

Common errors

Using text/xml vs application/xml

text/xml is legacy; application/xml is preferred.

Fix: Prefer application/xml for APIs.

application/octet-stream fallback

A missing Content-Type defaults to octet-stream.

Fix: Set the right MIME type explicitly in your server config.
