<p>The LibTIFF software provides support for the <em>Tag Image File Format</em> (TIFF),
a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
the TIFF specification is <a class="reference internal" href="specification/index.html"><span class="doc">TIFF File Format Specification</span></a>.</p>
<p>Included in this software distribution are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>a library, <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libtiff</span></code>, for reading and writing TIFF images</p></li>
<li><p>a small collection of tools for performing simple manipulations of TIFF images</p></li>
<li><p>documentation for the library and tools.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libtiff</span></code> library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
your needs for reading and writing TIFF images.</p>
<p>LibTIFF is portable software, supported on various operating systems including
UNIX (Linux, BSD, MacOS X) and Windows.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Starting with libtiff v4.6.0, the source code for most TIFF tools (except tiffinfo,
tiffdump, tiffcp and tiffset) was discontinued, due to the lack of contributors
able to address reported security issues.
It will still be available in the source distribution, but they
will no longer be built by default, and issues related to them
will no longer be accepted in the libtiff bug tracker.</p>
