How do I know the MIME type for image data in UIPasteboard?

Question

I want to import an image from UIPasteboard. The dataForPasteboardType: method gives me NSData of the image, but I have no idea whether that’s a GIF, PNG, JPEG or whatever. I can create an UIImage from the data without knowing the precise image type, but I’d like to have the MIME type for further processing. Is there a way to get it without analyzing the raw bytes?

Maybe this can be helpful, is a method to get the MIME type from a file path: Determine MIME Type of NSData Loaded From a File
