Questions about MIME Type Lookup

What is a MIME type?

A MIME type is a standardized identifier such as application/json or image/png that describes the format of transmitted content.

What is the difference between MIME type and file extension?

A file extension is part of a filename, while a MIME type describes the content format. Several extensions may share one MIME type.

Where are MIME types used?

They are commonly used in HTTP Content-Type and Accept headers, email attachments, browser uploads and data URLs.

Does this tool inspect uploaded files?
