have you tried it?
yes
but it does not load the images from cache
hm, I'm surprised it even shows tiffs, support isn't great in browsers
it's shows the tiff images
if I google "chrome tiff support" the first thing that comes up is an addon that adds tiff support
didn't get it
my chrome doesn't open tiffs as far as I can tell, it just downloads them
like, downloads to the download folder
i'm passing the tiff image url and rendering it into the canvas
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Image_types MDN lists TIFF as "should be avoided for web content", with only Safari supporting them. Are you sure your image is a tiff, and not a mislabeled jpeg?

yes i'm sure that my images are tiff.
do you have an example online?
no
it's confidential
then I hope someone else comes along to help, cause I'm fresh out of ideas. Good luck
thanks
I would sort of suggest to use something else than
.tiff unless you have a really good reason. They're uncompressed and massive files, and not really suitable for the web
...oh, like the MDN article said 😅
