What is TIFF?
A flexible raster format used in scanning and publishing. Some TIFF encodings require the media engine.
Technical details
TIFF uses image file directories with tagged fields to describe image dimensions, samples, compression, and pixel-data organization. [1]
Background and compatibility
TIFF can contain multiple image directories and is used in scanning, publishing, and preservation; its tag model permits substantial variation. [2]
