File formats and File extensions

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is an Internet standard for describes message content types. MIME messages can contain text, images, audio, video, and other application-specific data. MIME's use, however, has grown beyond describing the content of e-mail to describing content type in general.

The content types defined by MIME standards are also of importance outside of e-mail, such as in communication protocols like HTTP for the World Wide Web. HTTP requires that data be transmitted in the context of e-mail-like messages, even though the data may not actually be e-mail.


For WE Search by type of file, use this shortcut: Special:MIMESearch

  • For some reason sometimes is necessary to click twice on "Search" tab.
