Finding a list of Office Open XML file format MIME types
Posted: (EET/GMT+2)
If you are implementing .NET applications that need to work with Office Open XML files, you might need to figure out the correct MIME types for your .XLSX, .DOCX and .PPTX files, and more. Today, I needed to figure out the MIME type for PowerPoint presentation files (.PPTX), and wanted to check out the MIME type.
It turns out that there's nice list on the Office Developer Blog about this.
Here's the complete table:
| File extension | MIME type |
|---|---|
| .doc | application/msword |
| .dot | application/msword |
| .docx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document |
| .dotx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template |
| .docm | application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 |
| .dotm | application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12 |
| .xls | application/vnd.ms-excel |
| .xlt | application/vnd.ms-excel |
| .xla | application/vnd.ms-excel |
| .xlsx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet |
| .xltx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template |
| .xlsm | application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 |
| .xltm | application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 |
| .xlam | application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 |
| .xlsb | application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 |
| .ppt | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint |
| .pot | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint |
| .pps | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint |
| .ppa | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint |
| .pptx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation |
| .potx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template |
| .ppsx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow |
| .ppam | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 |
| .pptm | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 |
| .potm | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 |
| .ppsm | application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 |
Hope this helps!
