What are TIFF URLs in the Veryfi Checks API?
Veryfi provides industry-standard TIFF image files for both the front and back of processed checks. These TIFF URLs are available in our API response under meta.pages.tiff_url. The first item in the array (index 0) contains the front image, while the second item (index 1) contains the back image.

Where exactly do I find the TIFF URLs in the API response?
TIFF URLs are nested within the response structure:
"meta":{
"pages":[
0:{
"tiff_url":"https://scdn.veryfi.com/checks***********.tiff"
}
1:{ "tiff_url":"https://scdn.veryfi.com/checks/***********.tiff"
}
]
}
You must expand the meta object, then the pages array to locate these URLs.
Why are TIFF files important for check deposits?
TIFF is the required format for electronic check exchange in the banking system. Financial institutions mandate TIFF files that comply with the ANSI X9.100-181 standard (often called "Tough TIFF") for check clearing. Using any other format may result in rejected deposits or processing delays.
Are Veryfi's TIFF files compliant with banking standards?
Yes. All TIFF files provided through Veryfi's API are fully compliant with the X9.100-181 standard required by financial institutions.
Our TIFF files are:
200 DPI black-and-white bitonal images
G4 compression compliant
Properly formatted with all required TIFF tags
Ready for direct submission to banking systems
Do I need to perform any additional processing on these TIFF files?
No. Veryfi's TIFF files are ready for direct submission to your bank's deposit system. There's no need for additional conversion or compliance checking. Simply retrieve the TIFF URLs from our API response and use them in your check deposit workflow.
