What is MIME type "image/x-mldf"?

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

image/x-mldf is a MIME type used to label a specific image file format. It tells programs that the file's content is image data in the MLDF format.

This type is non-standard and experimental. The x- prefix shows that it isn’t regulated by the IANA. It is usually recognized in contexts that use specialized software.

• Main use: It identifies image files so software can load and display them correctly.
• Other uses: It may store image details that include extra metadata or layers, depending on the application.
• Key fact: Files using this type are marked with the MLDF extension.

Software that supports this MIME type might include dedicated image viewers or editors. For more detailed technical background on MIME types, see the IANA Media Types page.
