About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible container format supporting lossless compression (LZW, ZIP) or uncompressed storage, widely used in professional photography, publishing, and document archival. Developed by Aldus in 1986 (now maintained by Adobe), TIFF handles multiple color spaces, layers, and metadata, with support for 16-bit and 32-bit color depth. Files are typically large but preserve maximum fidelity and editability.

TIFF remains the professional standard for print workflows, scanning, and archival storage where image quality and metadata preservation are paramount. For web delivery or everyday sharing, smaller formats like JPEG or PNG are more practical.
