[CivicDocs](https://knowledgebase.civiceye.com/knowledge-base/civicdocs?hsLang=en) July 3, 2025 # What file types are supported? ## CivicEye's robust platform architecture is designed with flexibility and efficiency in mind. This means supporting a wide variety of file types that may be encountered in our clients' everyday work. In today's world, supporting multiple file formats is essential for managing digital evidence. CivicDocs allows users to attach any photo, video, or audio file to any module in the system. CivicEye Document Management supports MIME-types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension Types), enabling the viewing of various document formats directly within the system. This ensures compatibility with almost all media formats and allows integration with third-party media technologies. As technology evolves and new file formats emerge, CivicEye continuously updates its supported file types. By default, this includes all file types supported by modern browsers and any installed browser plug-ins  ### Comprehensive MIME Types by File Extension #### **Standard Web & Document Formats** .txt,
