TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format for storing images. Originally, the TIFF format was created by the Aldus company in cooperation with Microsoft for using with PostScript. TIFF became popular for storing high-color-depth images, and is used for scanning, fax, to identify text, polygraphy and widely used in graphic applications. This format is flexible. It allows saving photos in different color spaces, and to use different algorithms of file compression, and to store a few images in one file.
