🚀 Use Cases & Applications

🔒 Security Analysis

Verify file types to prevent malicious file uploads and ensure files match their claimed extensions.

🌐 Web Development

Set proper Content-Type headers and validate file uploads in web applications.

📁 File Processing

Determine file types for processing pipelines, automation scripts, and data analysis.

⚙️ System Administration

Analyze files on servers, validate uploads, and ensure proper file handling in systems.

💡 Pro Tip: MIME types help browsers and applications understand how to handle files. The actual MIME type (detected from file content) is more reliable than the browser-reported type, especially for security validation.
