Export TIFF images as raw pixel buffer files with configurable channel layout and bit depth for low-level imaging workflows.

file· File result

Quick start

Call this tool from your code in three languages.

cURL

# 1) Upload each file first → returns { filePath }
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/upload/tiff-to-raw' \
  -F 'file=@/path/to/imageFile.ext'

# 2) Call the tool with the returned filePath values
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/tiff-to-raw' \
  -F 'imageFile=/path/to/file.ext' \
  -F 'pixelFormat=RGB' \
  -F 'bitDepth=8' \
  -F 'outputEndian=little' \
  -F 'keepMetadata=false'

API reference

Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.

Endpoint

HTTP

POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/tiff-to-raw

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
imageFile	fileupload required	Yes	—
pixelFormat	select	No	—
bitDepth	select	No	—
outputEndian	select	No	—
keepMetadata	checkbox	No	Extract metadata separately because raw pixel buffer files do not embed metadata

MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-tiff-to-raw": {
      "name": "tiff-to-raw",
      "description": "Export TIFF images as raw pixel buffer files with configurable channel layout and bit depth for low-level imaging workflows.",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=tiff-to-raw",
      "command": "",
      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "tiff-to-raw",
    "arguments": {
  "imageFile": "https://example.com/file.ext",
  "pixelFormat": "RGB",
  "bitDepth": "8",
  "outputEndian": "little",
  "keepMetadata": false
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
