for image write this   lt input type file accept  image    gt    For other  You can use the accept attribute on your form to suggest to the browser to restrict certain types  However  you ll want to re-validate in your server-side code to make sure  Never trust what the client sends you

The value of the accept attribute is  as per HTML5 LC  a comma-separated list of items  each of which is a specific media type like image gif  or a notation like image   that refers to all image types  or a filename extension like  gif  IE 10  and Chrome support all of these  whereas Firefox does not support the extensions  Thus  the safest way is to use media types and notations like image    in this case   lt input type  file  name  foo  accept   application msword  application vnd ms-excel  application vnd ms-powerpoint  text plain  application pdf  image    gt    if I understand the intents correctly  Beware that browsers might not recognize the media type names exactly as specified in the authoritative registry  so some testing is needed
