What is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality raster format widely used in publishing, professional photography, and scanning. It can store images uncompressed or with lossless compression, hold multiple layers and pages, and preserve maximum detail. This makes files large but ideal for archiving and print production.

TIFF supports both lossy and lossless compression, so file size and fidelity depend on how each file was encoded. It supports transparency. Files can carry EXIF/XMP/IPTC metadata.

TIFF was developed by Aldus, now Adobe.
