This seems very useful but linking to a google doc makes me cringe a bit. Should we include a table with this information in the docs directly (in which we invite other browsers to talk about their accepted file types, too)? |
|
I like this idea! Here's the Markdown for such a table. Please advise where this would go. | Category | Extension - `MIME type |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Application | |
| | `.pdf` - `application/pdf` (from Chromium 93) |
| Audio | |
| | `.flac` - `audio/flac` |
| | `.m4a` - `audio/x-m4a` |
| | `.mp3` - `audio/mpeg` (also accepts `audio/mp3`) |
| | `.oga` - `audio/ogg` |
| | `.ogg` - `audio/ogg` |
| | `.opus` - `audio/ogg` |
| | `.wav` - `audio/wav` |
| | `.weba` - `audio/webm` |
| Image | |
| | `.bmp` - `image/bmp` |
| | `.gif` - `image/gif` |
| | `.ico` - `image/x-icon` |
| | `.jfif` - `image/jpeg` |
| | `.jpeg` - `image/jpeg` |
| | `.jpg` - `image/jpeg` |
| | `.pjp` - `image/jpeg` |
| | `.pjpeg` - `image/jpeg` |
| | `.png` - `image/png` |
| | `.svg` - `image/svg+xml` |
| | `.svgz` - `image/svg+xml` |
| | `.tif` - `image/tiff` |
| | `.tiff` - `image/tiff` |
| | `.webp` - `image/webp` |
| | `.xbm` - `image/x-xbitmap` |
| Text | |
| | `.css` - `text/css` |
| | `.csv` - `text/csv` |
| | `.ehtml` - `text/html` |
| | `.htm` - `text/html` |
| | `.html` - `text/html` |
| | `.shtm` - `text/html` |
| | `.shtml` - `text/html` |
| | `.text` - `text/plain` |
| | `.txt` - `text/plain` |
| Video | |
| | `.m4v` - `video/mp4` |
| | `.mp4` - `video/mp4` |
| | `.mpeg` - `video/mpeg` |
| | `.mpg` - `video/mpeg` |
| | `.ogm` - `video/ogg` |
| | `.ogv` - `video/ogg` |
| | `.webm` - `video/webm` |
|
|
It seems important enough that I'd create a new h2 before the "Examples" section like so:
And instead of your note with the google doc link, something like this:

Woohoo, thanks for the review and making this even better! Viele Grüße aus Hamburg! |
| The following is a list of usually shareable file types. However, you should always test with {{domxref("navigator.canShare()")}} if sharing would succeed. | ||

@Elchi3 FWIW Little concerned that the list might end up being "Chromium" specific, and yet one more list of things that has to be kept updated outside of BCD. Maybe remove the "(from Chromium 93)."
I wonder if this list is just "all the media types you can play/use on the platform". I wonder what the things you can't send are? If so, we might be better off saying "Generally most media and text files that can be played on the platform can also be shared".
