Frequently asked questions

What is a MIME type?

A MIME type (or Content-Type) tells software what kind of file something is — e.g. image/png or application/json — so it's handled correctly.

Where do I use it?

In HTTP Content-Type headers, file uploads and server configuration, so browsers render or download files properly.
