| Description | .tiff (Tagged Image File Format) The .tiff format is a flexible and adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, through the use of tags. TIFF files can handle multiple images and data in a single file through the use of tags. It's widely supported by image-manipulation applications, publishing and page layout applications, scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications. TIFF can be used for storing high-quality, high-resolution images and is often used in professional environments like publishing and photography. |
| Technical details | The `.tiff` format, or Tagged Image File Format, is widely used for raster graphics. Here are its key technical details: - Versatility: Supports various color formats, both lossless and lossy compression. - Compression: Commonly uses lossless LZW compression. - Multiplicity: Can store multiple images in one file, useful for scanned documents or graphic layers. - Color Depth: Offers a wide range of color depths, from 1-bit to 32-bit. - Metadata: Stores extensive metadata, including image details and editing history. - Alpha Channels: Supports transparency through alpha channels. - Color Management: Allows for ICC profile inclusion, ensuring color accuracy. - No Size Limit: Suitable for high-resolution images with no file size limit. - Extensibility: Highly extensible with tags for various data types. - HDR Support: Stores high dynamic range (HDR) images. - Geospatial Use: Popular in geospatial applications for storing location data. - Scanning: Preferred for high-quality scanned images in professional settings. - Compatibility: Widely supported but less web-friendly due to large file size. `.tiff` is prized for its quality and versatility, especially in photography, publishing, and archiving. However, its large file size may limit its use in storage or bandwidth-sensitive contexts. |
