MIME Type Detector

Find the right MIME type (Content-Type) for a file — from what's inside it.

Drop a file

its first bytes are read on your device

● Your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.

How it works

Your browser reports a MIME type based only on the file extension (and your operating system's settings); it's empty for unknown extensions. KadiTools reads the file's signature to find its real format and the matching IANA MIME type, and shows how to declare it on Apache, nginx and in an HTTP response.
