| Description | .tiff (Tagged Image File Format) The .tiff format is a flexible and adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, through the use of tags. TIFF files can handle multiple images and data in a single file through the use of tags. It's widely supported by image-manipulation applications, publishing and page layout applications, scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications. TIFF can be used for storing high-quality, high-resolution images and is often used in professional environments like publishing and photography. |

The .tiff format is highly valued for its quality and versatility, especially in photography, publishing, and archiving. However, its large file size may limit its use in storage or bandwidth-sensitive contexts. |
