BIRT allows images to be embedded within the design file. This is most useful for reports created in an external application and submitted to a server for immediate, one-time execution. If report designs are created with the BIRT designer, and are saved on disk, the developer will probably find it easier to use external images referenced with a file name or URL.

Defines the type of the image using MIME types. Many image formats provides a unique "Magic Number" at the first few bytes of the image raw data. However, this solution is not guaranteed to work for all images and all image formats. To avoid problems, the application should specify the image type whenever possible.
