Mime Type Web sunucular ve Mail sunucular üzerinde sunucunun yayınlanacak dosyanın sunucu tarafından tanınması için kullanılır. Örneğin bir JPEG dosyasını FTP üzerinden sitenize yüklediniz ve sunucunun jpeg dosyasını çalıştırması gerekiyor ancak herhangi bir Mime TYPE tanımlı değilse sunucu ben bu dosyanın ne olduğunu bilmiyorum bu sebeple çalıştıramam der. Ancak IIS gidip Mime TYPE olarak
image/jpeg jpeg
tanımlarsak sunucuya .jpeg uzantılı dosyaları tanıtmış oluyoruz. Bundan sonraki erişimlerinizde sunucu jpeg uzantılı dosyaları bildiği için size resim olarak gösterecektir. Sık olarak kullanılan Mime Type listesi aşağıdaki gibidir ;
