We’ve just released a new version of Img.vision with several improvements that make it more flexible for developers, ecommerce sellers, and website owners.
This update introduces support for many additional file types, including comprehensive HTML embed options, thumbnails for archived images, and security improvements across the platform.
Below is a full overview of what’s new.
Support for more file types
Professional and Enterprise plans now support several additional file types:
Newly supported file types:
- SVG
- AVIF
- BMP
- APNG
- TIF / TIFF
- ICO
These file types are now fully supported for upload, storage, and link generation.
Professional and Enterprise plans already supported:
- HEIC
- WebP
All paid plans (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) support the common web image formats:
- JPEG / JPG
- PNG
- GIF
This expansion makes Img.vision more suitable for web developers, design teams, and ecommerce workflows that need to host more than just standard product images.
ICO HTML code generates favicon code
When uploading an ICO file, Img.vision generates the typical favicon HTML code used by websites.
This makes it easy to quickly add your favicon to any site.
Example:
<link rel="icon" href="file.ico" type="image/x-icon">
This is particularly useful when hosting assets for web projects, SaaS dashboards, or static websites.
3 HTML embedding formats for PDF files
PDF files support three different HTML embedding formats, so you can choose what works best for your website.
1. <iframe> (most common)
The most widely supported way to embed PDFs.
<iframe src="file.pdf"></iframe>Best for most websites and CMS platforms.
2. <embed> (simple alternative)
A simple one-line solution.
<embed src="file.pdf" type="application/pdf">This approach is easy to implement but offers fewer customization options.
3. <object> (with fallback)
Includes a fallback download link for browsers that cannot display PDFs.
<object data="file.pdf" type="application/pdf">
<p>Your browser does not support PDFs. <a href="file.pdf">Download PDF</a>.</p>
</object>This is useful when accessibility or compatibility is important.
3 HTML embedding formats for SVG files
SVG files support three HTML embedding methods.
1. <img> (simplest and fastest)
<img src="logo.svg">Best for branding images, icons, and decorative graphics.
2. <object> (with optional fallback)
<object type="image/svg+xml" data="logo.svg"></object>Allows iframe-like isolation and optional fallback HTML.
3. <embed> (legacy but still supported)
<embed type="image/svg+xml" src="logo.svg">Less common in modern code but still supported by browsers.
2 HTML embedding formats for TIFF files
We offer two options to embed TIFF/TIF files.
1. <img> (Safari only)
<img src="image.tiff">Safari browsers can render TIFF images directly.
2. <object> (with fallback)
<object data="image.tiff" type="image/tiff">
<p>Your browser does not support TIFF. <a href="image.tiff">Download TIFF</a></p>
</object>Other browsers will show a fallback download link.
Thumbnails for archived images
When images are archived, a thumbnail preview is now shown in the dashboard.
Previously, archived images did not display thumbnails.
Thumbnails are supported for the most common image types:
- JPG / JPEG
- PNG
- GIF
- WebP
- SVG
This makes it easier to browse archived content and find files quickly without restoring them first.
Security improvements
This release also includes several internal security improvements to strengthen the platform and keep hosted assets safe.
These improvements help ensure that Img.vision continues to provide reliable and secure image hosting for businesses and marketplaces.
Continuous improvements
We continuously improve Img.vision based on feedback from our users and real-world workflows from ecommerce sellers.
If you have feature suggestions or feedback, feel free to contact us, we always love hearing how people use Img.vision.
