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. The most widely used compression schemes in TIFF files are lossless, including LZW and, for bitonal images G4, as used for facsimile transmission [fax].
