# Mime Type Icon pipe
Retrieves an icon to represent a MIME type.
## Basic Usage
```HTML
```
## Details
The pipe takes a MIME type as input and returns the URL of an SVG file that
symbolizes that type (see the [Thumbnail service](thumbnail.service.md) for the mapping between types and icons). The pipe will return a "miscellaneous" icon when no specific mapping is defined.
