What is in this file
An uncompressed 66 × 50 test card in a single strip, after one image file directory of 14 tags. 48 bytes of filler in the ImageDescription tag bring the file to the exact size.

|---|---|
| Colour | 8-bit RGB (24 bits per pixel) |

Where 10 KB matters
A 10,240-byte file that still arrives in the first round trip of a new connection. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:
| System | Limit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| TCP initial congestion window | About 14.6 KB (10 segments) | A 10 KB response fits in the first flight of packets; the 25 KB sample does not. |
| nginx and Apache request headers | 8 KB per header line by default | Data this large must go in the request body. |
| webpack asset modules | 8 KB by default | Assets over the threshold are emitted as files instead of data URIs. |
Use this file for
- Checking thumbnail and icon handling
- Testing image libraries with large uncompressed input
- Verifying handling of both byte orders
Testing notes for TIFF
- Support for the compression schemes varies between libraries, so a file that opens in one tool can fail in another. The samples here are uncompressed, which every reader accepts.
- Chrome, Firefox and Edge do not display TIFF. An upload feature that previews images in the browser needs to convert TIFF on the server or show a placeholder.

Questions about this file
- Is this file exactly 10 KB?
- Yes. It is 10,240 bytes, which is 10 KB in the binary units that operating systems and server limits use (1 KB = 1,024 bytes).
- What is inside the 10 KB TIFF file?
- An uncompressed 66 × 50 test card in a single strip, after one image file directory of 14 tags. 48 bytes of filler in the ImageDescription tag bring the file to the exact size.
- Are the TIFF samples compressed?
- No. They hold 8-bit RGB pixels with no compression, in a single strip, in little-endian byte order. That is the baseline form of the format.
