File Description

High-quality graphics format often used for storing images with many colors, such as digital photos; short for "TIFF;" includes support for layers and pages.

TIFF files can be saved in an uncompressed (lossless) format or may incorporate .JPEG (lossy) compression; they may also use LZW lossless compression, which reduces the TIFF file size, but does not reduce the quality of the image.
