Apple iWork Mime Types

I was wondering what the mime type for iWork's Pages is? And also what the mime type is for the rest of the software in the iWork suite? I looked around online and I didn't see it anywhere.

I recently needed this for work and ended up just uploading some files and querying the mimetypes. I found the following:

  • keynote: application/x-iwork-keynote-sffkey
  • pages: application/x-iwork-pages-sffpages
  • numbers: application/x-iwork-numbers-sffnumbers

2021 Update

Please note that this answer is now outdated and the following content types have been approved by IANA:

  • application/vnd.apple.pages
  • application/vnd.apple.keynote
  • application/vnd.apple.numbers
