What is MIME type "image/vnd.dwf"?

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

image/vnd.dwf is a label for files that use Autodesk’s Design Web Format. They carry detailed design data in a compact and secure form. Files with this MIME type use the DWF extension.

This format supports sharing intricate design details without sharing the original heavy CAD files. It preserves both the graphics and metadata. This helps when precise review or printing is needed.

• Design Sharing: Enables teams to view complex designs easily.
• Project Collaboration: Supports review and commentary without specialized software.
• Archiving: Stores design data compactly for long-term reference.
