image/tiff
The MIME type for TIFF images. A staple in print, medical, and scientific imaging.
Typical extensions
Primary uses
- Print pre-press
- Scanner output
- Medical imaging (DICOM-adjacent)
In a browser
Mainstream browsers do not render TIFF — downloads fall through.
On a server
Pipelines typically transcode TIFF to PDF or PNG before distribution.
In email
Works as an attachment. Ship large TIFFs as PDF to avoid size surprises.
