Mime Type Checker
MIME types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) are identifiers used to indicate the type of data a file contains. They are essential for web browsers and servers to properly handle files. This free online tool detects file types by examining their magic bytes - the first few bytes that uniquely identify a file format. Simply drop a file to instantly see its MIME type, file extension, and more. All processing happens locally in your browser.
