 '''TIFF''', formerly known as '''Tag(ged) Image File Format''', is an image format capable of storing multiple high quality images in a single file.
 A TIFF image may be uncompressed or use a compression scheme internally.  Two of the most widely used compression schemes in TIFF files are lossless, including [[LZW]] and, for bitonal images [[CCITT Group 4]], as used for facsimile transmission [fax].  [[JPEG]] baseline DCT-based lossy compression is also used.

 TI/A (formerly TIFF/A) is a proposed archival standard based on TIFF (but no longer using its name due to objections by Adobe, which owns the rights to the name TIFF) which is in progress of development.
