What is a TIFF file?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was created by Aldus in 1986 and is now maintained by Adobe. It is a flexible container that can hold multiple pages, high bit depths and lossless compression, which makes it the long-standing choice for scanning, archiving and professional print.
Browsers do not display TIFF, and files are large. Convert to JPG or PNG for sharing, and keep the TIFF as the archive master.
