Remarks

This list is pre-populated with media types from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types. On Windows, an unknown media type will attempt to find the file extension in the system registry, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type; on non-Windows OSes, there is no fallback. The pre-populated cache was last populated on 2025 February 5.
