Managing MIME Types

MIME types tell browsers how to interpret file formats. Adding or correcting MIME types ensures files download or display correctly.

Add a MIME type

1. Go to Advanced Features → MIME Types.
2. Select the domain.
3. Click Add MIME Type.
4. Enter the file extension (for example .webp) and the MIME type (for example image/webp).
5. Save.

Common use cases

• Serving modern image formats not in default configuration.
• Forcing specific file types to download rather than display.
• Supporting custom application file extensions.

Incorrect MIME types can cause browsers to mishandle files. Use official IANA MIME type values when possible.
