They don’t. They’re stored in the gateway’s internal database.

Ah, that would explain a lot. I tried uploading a tiff file as well and it didn’t show up and didn’t give an error, did it just silently fail? Thanks

Never tried to use a TIFF. Consider just converting it to PNG or JPEG. Those are the best supported formats across all platforms.

Yeah, I converted to jpeg, but wasn’t sure if it was uploaded but not showing up since it’s not supported.
