MIME Type Reference
Free online MIME type reference tool, searchable table
About MIME Type Lookup
A searchable reference table of 40 common MIME types with their file extensions and short descriptions. Covers text, web, document, archive, image, audio, video, font, and binary categories (e.g. application/json, image/svg+xml, font/woff2, application/wasm). The list is static and curated, not the full IANA registry.
How to Use
1. Type a query in the search box at the top. 2. The table filters live as you type. 3. Matching is case-insensitive across the MIME type, the extension, and the description columns. 4. If nothing matches, a No Results Found message appears.
What Each Column Means
MIME Type is the canonical media type (e.g. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document). Ext is the typical file extension (.docx, .woff2, .mp4). Description is a short human-readable label such as Word (OOXML) or WebAssembly. Entries are bare base types without parameters, so append charset=utf-8 or similar yourself if needed.
▶Can I add or edit MIME types?
▶What does the search match against?
▶Are parameters like charset=utf-8 included?
▶Is this the complete IANA registry?
