The TIFF format

TIFF which is also known as TIF (Tagged Image File Format) is an raster Images Format standard.Its structure can be used to describe images as grayscale as well as color palettes and, in certain cases that, color in a variety of colors.

It's probably the most versatile and diverse bitmap format available. Its extensible nature in addition to its supportfor multiple algorithms for data compression allow designers to customize it to suit their needs. TIFF format to meet the specific needs for storage of data.

A brief overview of the history

Created in 1986 with the help of Aldus Corporation, the TIFF format was developed based on feedback from scanner makers and software developers. The main goal of the format was to establish a common format to rasterize images that could be used by all scanner manufacturers.

Then, it introduced support that allowed grayscale as well as color.

In 1988 version 5.0 was released which had support for color palette images as well as LZW compression.

The current version of the TIFF format is from 1992 (!) and it includes support to CMYK as well as YCbCr color images, as well as the JPEG compression method.
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.

Let's now see how you can convert any format to an .tiff file:

Don't forget to utilize the GdPictureStatus enumeration in order to have an accurate record of your work as well as identify possible mistakes.

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 modify the parameters of your conversion in order to determine the amount of pages you'd like convert, the number of DPIs, if you want to keep or remove the annotations inside the converted document and many other.
For example, this is how you change the DPIs of the output TIFF:

gdpictureDocumentConverter.RasterizationDPI = 300;

You will find all properties here.

If you're interested in learning how to use the GdPicture.NET Document Converter It is possible to find everything you need in our user's manual.

How do I convert a PDF document into TIFF online:

1. To begin, drop your PDF file onto the floor or upload it on your device or your cloud storage service.
2. The tool will begin automatically on the process of converting the files.
3. Download the converted TIFF formatted file onto your computer or save it right to your service for cloud storage.

It's a shame that the TIFF format hasn't seen any changes in over 30 years. A formatDifference that is completely independent of the platform and highly flexible between TIFF, PNG and JPEG. The format was developed in the year 1986 by Microsoft & Aldus Corporation (now Adobe) (now Adobe) TIFF (Tagged Information File Format with file extensions such as .tif or .tiff) file format was created to provide a standardized document image format to scan documents. Before TIFF the format was developed, every manufacturer had its own format that could cause compatibility problems for users.
TIFF quickly became widely adopted with the result that the format is so robust that the previous revision , also known as TIFF 6.0 which was published in 1992, and hasn't been ever updated since.TIFF is designed to be a universal image container that is accessible to everyone for his purpose. It's one the rare raster image formats that allow multiple pages in one document and offering a broad range of options in terms resolution and color modes (black & white, greyscale, color schemes) as well as compression schemes ( LZW , CCITT, and JPG-Based for instance.).

With such a wide array of choices, TIFF is the best container to store highly detailed images. In addition, it keeps on being the top choice when it comes to digital picture preservation.TIFF is an ideal format to use for document preservation and publishing with the multipage support as well as lossless compression. Still, it is not the ideal format to prefer to share images with on the Web because of the size limit of 4GB. In this instance it is recommended to convert the image into PNG and JPEG.
JPEG allows for a compromise between image quality and size. But its less size is not without cost, as JPEG employs an unreliable compression algorithm, which causes data loss as well as possible artifacts' appearance especially during the process of having the document edited and opened many times.
PNG however, on the contrary side, is a non-recoverable format that provides a large color range display for the Web. It also provides transparency and an advanced progressive display choice suitable for online viewing applications.
