Are TIFF files supported on all browsers?

No. Currently, Zapixal relies on native browser capabilities for TIFF decoding, which is only supported in Safari. Users on Chrome or Firefox will need to use BMP or another format.

Why are TIFF and BMP files rejected by modern websites and web forms?

TIFF and BMP are uncompressed or minimally compressed formats designed for print and legacy hardware. Modern web platforms require JPEG, WebP, or PNG formats.

How much smaller is a JPEG compared to a BMP or TIFF file?

JPEG compression typically reduces file size by 80% to 95% compared to uncompressed BMP or TIFF files.

Are my scanned document images transferred to external systems during conversion?

No. Zapixal processes all pixel data inside local browser memory using client-side WebAssembly.

Canvas Raster Decoder & MozJPEG

Converting uncompressed legacy TIFF and BMP rasters into standard JPEG

Legacy hardware scanners, medical imaging devices, and older Windows software output uncompressed bitmap (BMP) or tagged image file format (TIFF) files. These formats carry high byte overhead and are rejected by web forms and social platforms. Zapixal decodes supported uncompressed pixel arrays in local browser memory and re-encodes them into baseline JPEG using MozJPEG WebAssembly binaries, dramatically reducing byte size. Please note that native TIFF decoding is currently only supported in Safari browsers.
