What is MIME type "application/vnd.previewsystems.box"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

MIME Type: application/vnd.previewsystems.box
This is a vendor-specific format. It is designed for use with Preview Systems software.

• Main use: It handles preview data in a proprietary environment.
• Functionality: It bundles configuration, metadata, and visual preview content into one file.
• Integration: It works seamlessly with Preview Systems applications to generate and display previews.

If you encounter a file with the BOX extension, it means that the file follows this specialized format. Most users only need to open it with the proper software, as its structure is meant for internal processing rather than manual editing.

For more on vendor-specific MIME types, you can consult the IANA MIME Media Types database.
