<p>I have a requirement to be be able to embed scanned tiff images into some SSRS reports.</p>

<p>When I design a report in VS2005 and add an image control the tiff image displays perfectly however when I build it. I get the warning :</p>

<p><code>Warning    2   [rsInvalidMIMEType] The value of the MIMEType property for the image ‘image1’ is “image/tiff”, which is not a valid MIMEType.   c:\SSRSStuff\TestReport.rdl 0   0</code></p>

<p>and instead of an image I get the little red x.</p>

<p>Has anybody overcome this issue?</p>

Assuming you're delivering the image file via IIS, use an ASP.NET page to change image formats and mime type to something that you
can
use.
```
```
Response.ContentType = "image/png";
Response.Clear();
using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(tifFilepath))
  bmp.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Png);
Response.End();
```
```
