What is the TIFF file format?

Optimal Choice for Web Development

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile format designed for professional imaging, publishing, and archiving. Supporting both lossless and lossy compression, multiple layers, and very large file sizes, it preserves maximum image detail. Common in industries like medical imaging and printing, TIFF demands careful memory handling when processed in Java applications.

Problems with TIFF files in Java

Java developers commonly run into several frustrating and time-consuming problems:

Complex Compression Options

TIFF supports multiple compression types (LZW, PackBits, JPEG), and handling them correctly can be error-prone and inconsistent.

Multi-Page Management

Processing multi-page TIFFs often requires additional logic to navigate or convert pages, adding complexity for developers.

Large File Sizes

TIFF files, especially multi-page or high-resolution images, can be extremely large, creating storage and performance issues.

Metadata Handling

TIFF metadata can vary widely and is not always standardized, making extraction or modification challenging.

Read, Write and Convert TIFF files in pure Java with JDeli

JDeli helps unlock the potential of the file format with a few lines of Java code:

// Read TIFF files

JDeli.read(File tiffFile);

JDeli.read(byte[] tiffData);

JDeli.read(InputStream tiffStream);
// Write TIFF files

JDeli.write(myBufferedImage, "tiff");
// Convert to and from TIFF files
JDeli.convert(File inFile, File outFile);

JDeli.convert(InputStream inStream, OutputStream outStream, String format);

byte[] outputData=JDeli.convert(byte[] inputData, String format);

Already using ImageIO?

Java developers that work with ImageIO know of its lack of support for the TIFF format.
JDeli can effortlessly enhance ImageIO with our plugin — your existing image-handling code stays exactly the same!
