  2. 2Look up your file extension at mime.io, or run curl -I on a URL for the real server-declared Content-Type
Frequently Asked Questions

No — clicking Process shows a fixed message pointing you to a file-extension reference (mime.io); it doesn't accept a file upload or inspect any actual file content or server Content-Type header.

Run `curl -I <url>` from your terminal and look at the Content-Type response header, which reflects what the server actually declares — more reliable than guessing from the file extension alone.

No — a server can send any Content-Type regardless of the file's extension; the extension is just a common convention, not a guarantee.

No — since no real file is inspected, nothing you enter is transmitted.
