'''Image Exchange Format''' is a obsolete subformat of [[TIFF]], intended to be used for the transmission of bi-level images, especially fax images, over the (early) internet.

It is defined in RFC 1314 as a subformat of '''TIFF Class B''' (which it calls '''TIFF-B'''). TIFF Class B is the bi-level TIFF subformat defined in the TIFF 5.0 specification.

It is not to be confused with [[Exif|Exchangeable image file format]] (Exif).

== Specifications ==
* RFC 1314: A File Format for the Exchange of Images in the Internet
* For the TIFF 5.0 specification, refer to [[TIFF#Specifications]].
