This is my code: ``` var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer"); var imageryProvider = new Cesium.GeoTiffImageryProvider({ url: './output300.tif' }); viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider(imageryProvider); ``` But I can not load tif imagery,Even if I upload the image to cesium ion, it’s useless, and according to the example code provided by cesium ion, the browser won’t display anything: ``` Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken = ""; const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer"); try { const imageryLayer = viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider( await Cesium.IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(id) ); ``` ---

I am having the same issue. I’m also trying to add an imagery (tif) to my code, manually and with cesium ion, but no luck. Anyone know how to solve this??? ---

Hi there, tif imagery is not supported loading directly into CesiumJS. You can [upload tif files to Cesium ion to tile and host imagery in a format that is supported by CesiumJS](https://cesium.com/learn/3d-tiling/ion-tile-imagery/). If you’re having issues with that, please let us know more details about what problems you’re running into. Thanks! Gabby ---

Would it be possible to provide a code snippet that demonstrates that. When i upload the tiff file on Cesium Ion, I get a code snippet like the one below: const layer = viewer.imageryLayers.addImageryProvider( await Cesium.IonImageryProvider.fromAssetId(#ASSETID) ); However, when I add it to my file, it doesn’t work. What else in the code file do I have to add. It would be great if I could know as I can’t find it elsewhere. Thank you! ---

[Here’s a working Sandcastle example](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/#c=jZBPS8NAEMW/ypBTAmFjq6JoWqzFQ6H+AcVTLpPstFm62S0724QofnebRKVoD7KwMDPvN+8xSQIvJcEdOl8CenhQ69LHgJotbIxtDCDDrcZiA/fock0wPhldABo5SGHZ/ZyZwhr2UCtqyMEEDDUwJ1a7Srz2vTALir6eW+NRGXJZEMN7ZgByZFpiS+7qEFtUuCbX9gOxcrZ6crZWktyMW1OEHQg/Wmu+5N+inpgxk1/I8PRyNI46IIoz8xFdZ6Z7Q2KJg8U+8xBeqANjFijlr9UhNqj8v63PzqPBMYiDlH2raTpkB7hR1dY6DzunQyEST9VWoydO8l2xIS8K5g7tpGlyiKZS1aDk5MhNodDIvJ+sdlo/qzfKgmma7PV/UG1RKrN+rMlpbDtZOZouh6YQIk325XHSW6tzdL82fwI). Make sure you are setting `Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken` to your [Cesium ion access token](https://cesium.com/learn/ion/cesium-ion-access-tokens/), otherwise you will not be authorized to access the data. ---

Where in the code do we add the Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken? As it’s not mentioned or provided in the sandcastle code ---

`Cesium.Ion.defaultAccessToken = ";` should be the first line in your app. ---

Okay I added that, and changed the asset ID accordingly based on the geotiff’s i have uploaded on cesium. I don’t get any errors, but I don’t see any output either. Not sure what the issue is. ---

Could you provide your asset ID and a demo token for us to troubleshoot? ---

Hi, I’ve had a similar issue recently and ended up converting my geotiff data to a gltf in QGIS with the “QGIS2threejs” plugin and then directly displayed the gltf in cesium as entity. The only downside was, that the rotation of the gltf was a bit off, so I had to rotate the 3d model, but besides that it solved my problem.
