Support for TIFF images (and WebP)


Miro is a fantastic tool for photo presentations, but the .TIFF file type is not supported for some reason.  It seems like a no-brainer to simply support all major file types… Why would tiff not be supported?  

It would be great to be able to drag and drop all images from a folder, without having to go and manually convert hundreds of images to a different type, just because of this compatibility issue.

@Bryan Lettner .tiff isn't a very common file format online. It's a complex, lossless, high-quality file format optimized for print – not web. In fact, the general recommendation is to not use TIFF when working with web graphics, so I'd be very surprised if an online virtual whiteboard product like Miro would decide to support it. 🙂


Thank you.  The issue is, for a long time, TIFF was the default image format for saving images using Grab on a Mac.  So, many people have thousands of TIFF images.  It’s a very common format, just perhaps not best suited for online use, like you said.  But it is unfortunate that many users’ images are off limits in Miro.  Almost a dealbreaker…  It definitely adds major friction to workflow.  

This use case is yet another reason why Miro needs an offline mode, perhaps functioning better as a offline first desktop app, with online sync and an online mode.  Even with a mere 20 images in JPG or PNG format, zoom is super laggy.  Another dealbreaker, since Miro is ideal for certain types of presentations.  Running a board on a fast computer, rather than from an internet connection, would reduce lag and load time.  Zooming is already way too glitchy, even for small boards with no photos, and a fast internet connection.

For me, Miro’s primary utility lies in its zoomable canvas layout… for everyday organization, business operation, and project management.  “Online collab” is merely a bonus feature, which is needed far less often than Miro for everyday personal use.
