MIME type is a way to classify the data type of a file. MIME stands for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions." It is an extension of the Internet e-mail standard that defines the different types of content that can be attached to e-mail messages. MIME is commonly used when sending attachments and provides information about the data type, size, and encoding of an attachment. The MIME type indicates what kind of data the attachment contains, for example: text/plain or image/jpeg.

Are the MIME type and file extension the same?

No, the MIME type and the file extension are not the same. The MIME type is only a text string that identifies what kind of content is being transmitted. The file extension is a code that tells the computer which application to use to open the document. Usually, the file extension is corresponding to a certain mime type. But sometimes it can not match, for example when someone changes a file extension manually.

When is useful to know MIME type of file?

Knowing the MIME type of a file is useful when you need to know how to handle it. For example, if you want to upload a file to the web server, knowing its MIME type will help you determine which format is appropriate. MIME types are used by email clients and web browsers to determine what type of content they are handling.

How can I check the file's MIME type?

There are two ways to check the MIME type of a file. The first is to use your operating system's built-in commands. The second way is to look for an extension that matches the file type. For example, ".txt" for plain text files and ".pdf" for PDF files. Or you can use our online tool, which can make this job easy and faster.

About ART format

AOL (America Online) proprietary image file format

The ART image format holds a single still image that has been heavily compressed. It was designed to help facilitate the quick downloading of images, among other things. AOL primarily used ART images when presenting images in the AOL service.

Launch a .art file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .art file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .art files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .art file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .art file will open the correct application.

The ART format (file extension ". art") stores a single highly compressed still picture. The format was created to make it easier to download photographs quickly, among other reasons. The AOL service used the ART image format for the majority of its picture display.

Here are a few programs that usually work with ART files: Unknown Apple II File. ARTiSAN Real-time Studio. Compressed Archive. AOL Johnson-Grace Compressed File. First Publisher Raster Graphic. Vort image. Central Point Scrapbook. pfs:Art Publisher.
