TIFF — Tagged Image File Format

Image

TIFF compression can apply lossless codecs such as LZW, ZIP/DEFLATE, or CCITT to dramatically reduce the size of high-resolution scans and professional images. Even lossless compression can halve a TIFF file, making archival and print workflows far more storage-efficient.

✓Common use cases

  • ›Compressing high-resolution scans for document management systems
  • ›Reducing TIFF archive sizes for long-term digital preservation
  • ›Shrinking multi-page TIFF faxes and medical images
  • ›Optimizing TIFF exports from RAW photo editors

★Advantages

  • ›Supports purely lossless compression — no image data is discarded
  • ›Multiple codec choices (LZW, ZIP) suit different content types
  • ›Handles high bit-depth (16/32-bit) and multi-page documents
  • ›Maintains EXIF, IPTC, and ICC color profile metadata

⚙Technical details

TIFF supports multiple compression codecs defined per-strip: Uncompressed, LZW, ZIP (DEFLATE), PackBits, CCITT Group 3/4 (for bi-level), JPEG, and others. LZW and ZIP offer the best lossless ratios for continuous-tone images; CCITT excels on black-and-white text scans.

Frequently asked questions

Does compressing TIFF reduce quality?

For image compression, quality depends on the setting you choose. At 75–85% quality the difference is barely perceptible. For lossless formats like PNG, compression is entirely lossless — no pixel data is discarded.

How much can I reduce a TIFF file?

TIFF files can typically be reduced by up to 60% depending on the source content and the compression level you select. Files with lots of detail compress less than simpler content.

Is my TIFF file safe when I compress it?

Yes. Your file is uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection, processed on our secure servers, and permanently deleted immediately after you download the compressed output. We never store or share your files.

What tool is used to compress TIFF files?

We use Pillow — a battle-tested, open-source compression engine trusted by developers worldwide — to process TIFF files reliably and efficiently.
