FAQ

MIME Types

A MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standardized way to indicate the nature and format of a file. It helps browsers and servers understand how to process and display content.

You can determine a file's MIME type by examining its extension or using tools that inspect the file's content. Online MIME type checkers can also help identify the correct type.

MIME types ensure that files are handled correctly by applications and browsers. They inform the system about the file's format, enabling appropriate actions like rendering or downloading.

Typically, a file has one primary MIME type. However, some files might be associated with multiple types due to different applications or contexts in which they're used.

To add a new MIME type, you need to configure your server settings. For instance, in Apache, you can use the 'AddType' directive in the .htaccess file to associate a file extension with a MIME type.

No, file extensions are part of the file name (like .jpg or .txt), while MIME types are metadata that describe the file's content type. While related, they serve different purposes.
