Question

How to handle [TIFF][1] file in HTML pages?

I want to display a TIFF file in my HTML page.

I have tried using embedded tag, object id, img, etc. But I am unable to display the image (TIFF) in the HTML page.

I am not using Java, .NET or any other thing in my project. I am using HTML only.

Answer 1

This comes down to browser image support; it looks like the only mainstream browser that supports tiff is Safari:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support

Where are you getting the tiff images from? Is it possible for them to be generated in a different format?

If you have a static set of images then I'd recommend using something like PaintShop Pro to batch convert them, changing the format.

If this isn't an option then there might be some mileage in looking for a pre-written Java applet (or another browser plugin) that can display the images in the browser.

Answer 2

I found this resource that details the various methods: How to embed TIFF files in HTML documents

As mentioned, it will very much depend on browser support for the format. Viewing that page in Chrome on Windows didn't display any of the images.

It would also be helpful if you posted the code you've tried already.
