The TIFF format

TIFF which is also known as TIF (Tagged Image File Format) is an Raster Images file format standard.Its structure allows you to describe images in grayscale or color palettes and, in other instances colors in different color spaces.

It's perhaps the most versatile and varied bitmap format that exists. Its extensible nature along with supportfor numerous data compression schemes allow developers to tailor the TIFF format to meet the specific storage requirements of data.

A short history

Established in 1986 by Aldus Corporation, the TIFF format was developed based on input from scanner manufacturers as also from software developers. Its goal was to create a standard for raster file containing scanned images for all scanner makers.

Then, it introduced support in grayscale as well as color.

In 1988, version 5.0 was released with support for color palette images and LZW compression.

The current version of the TIFF format is from the year 1992 (!) and comes with support of CMYK and YCbCr color images, as well as the JPEG compression technique.
In 1994, Adobe Systems acquired Aldus and maintains the specification since.

The GdPicture.NET Document Converter

The GdPicture.NET SDK includes the GdpictureDocumentConverter class, which provides many different methods and properties for document conversion of 100+ document/image formats.

Now, let's see the methods to convert any format into a .tiff file:

Don't forget to utilize the GdPictureStatus database to keep a following of your process and get potential errors.

As you can see in this example, we took as input a PDF, but you can select another format by just changing the path and the GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatPDF in the << LoadFromFile >> method.

GdPictureDocumentConverter provides two ways of saving your document as a TIFF:

• as a file, which is the path's file: https://guides.gdpicture.com/content/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~SaveAsTIFF(String,TiffCompression).html
• into a stream: https://guides.gdpicture.com/content/GdPicture.NET.14~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter~SaveAsTIFF(Stream,TiffCompression).html

You can also alter the settings of your conversion in order to set the number of pages to convert, the number of DPIs and whether you wish to keep or eliminate the annotations in the converted document or not, and so on.
For example, this is how you change the DPIs of the TIFF output:

gdpictureDocumentConverter.RasterizationDPI = 300;

All the properties here.

TIFF format hasn't changed much in the past 30 years. TIFF format hasn't changed over the past 30 years. It is a FormatDifference that's platform-independent and extremely adaptable between TIFF, PNG, and JPEGDeveloped in 1986 in the hands of Microsoft & Aldus Corporation (now Adobe) in 1986, the TIFF (Tagged Information File Format extension of files such as .tif as well as .tiff) file format was created to create a standard image format for scanned documents. Prior to TIFF was introduced, every manufacturer had their own formats, which could cause compatibility issues for users.
TIFF quickly gained popularity and is so robust that the previous revision , which is also known as TIFF 6.0 it was made available in 1992. It hasn't changed since.TIFF is designed to be an image storage format which anyone can use for his purpose. It's among those uncommon raster formats that permit multiple pages to be contained in one file and offering a wide range possibilities in terms resolution, color modes (black and white, greyscale, color schemes) and compression strategies ( LZW , CCITT, and JPG-Based as an example).

With such a diverse array of options, TIFF is the best container to store highly detailed image information, and it continues to be the most popular choice of digital images preservation.TIFF is an ideal format to use for document preservation and publishing thanks to it's multi-page support as well as lossless compression. However, it's not the ideal format to prefer to share images with on the Web due to its size, which is only 4 GB. In this scenario it's best in converting the images into PNG as well as JPEG.
JPEG offers a compromise image quality and file size. But its less size comes with a price since JPEG utilizes a lossy compression algorithm which causes data loss and possibly artifacts appearing, particularly in the event that the image is edited and opened repeatedly.
PNG , on the other on the other hand, is a completely lossless format with a large colour range display suitable for use on the Web. It also supports transparency and the most sophisticated progressive display option ideal for online viewing applications.
