About mime type lookup
Look up the MIME type for a file extension and vice versa. It sits in the web & network shelf alongside 64 other web & network tools, needs no account, and keeps the same behaviour whether you open it here or call it through the REST API.
It works from what you type in rather than a file and gives back JSON. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is sent to us at all and the tool keeps working offline. The same operation is available programmatically at POST /v1/web/mime-type-lookup.
MIME Type Lookup questions
Does MIME Type Lookup upload my file?
No. MIME Type Lookup runs as WebAssembly inside this browser tab: the file is read from your disk by the page, processed on your own machine, and handed straight back. It is never sent anywhere, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Do I need an account to use MIME Type Lookup?
No. MIME Type Lookup works without signing in, and that is not a trial — it is how the free tier works. An account only matters for things that need one to exist at all: larger server jobs against your quota, API keys, saved workflows and billing.
Can I run MIME Type Lookup from my own code?
Yes. Every tool on the site is reachable from the REST API with the same slug — `mime-type-lookup` — and the same options as this page, so anything you can do here you can automate against your own files.
