Overview
MimeTypes Link Icons is a plugin that looks for links to files and uploads in your blogs posts and adds a nice icon next to it. Optionally add the file’s file size next to the link.
Important note on v3.0 and up: This version partially breaks backwards compatibility: the plugin now requires PHP5.1+ and WP 3.5+. Please have a look at the changelog for more information about the changes.
The icons are configurable. You can choose to display a PNG with transparent background or GIF with white matte, display the icon to the left or the right of the link and choose the icon size.
Each icon is available in the following sizes:
- 16x16px
- 24x24px
- 48x48px
- 64x64px
- 128x128px

Great Plugin
by Daniel·2 years ago
This is an absolut labour saving device and must have. Please update, that this won’t be marked by wordfence and others …
Super cool !
by Picturgency·3 years ago
It works great! Nice choice of icons, activation for which one we need only in the settings, default is only pdf. It’s just simple and awesome! Works perfectly with Elementor builder, we don’t see the icon in the builder but in front it’s showing up nicely. Thx! Keep up the good work!
Easy to use and just what I was searching for

The plugin works out of the box and does exactly what it says: showing icons + filesizes next to uploaded files. Thank you for developing this gem!
Thanks
