Tag Image File Format

Tag(ged) Image File Format (TIFF) is a file format used for still-image bitmaps, stored in tagged fields. Application programs can use the tags to accept or ignore fields, depending on their capabilities.. 1997-10-11.
==History==
While TIFF was designed to be extensible, it lacked a core of useful functionality, so that most useful functions (e.g. lossless 24-bit color) required nonstandard, often redundant, extensions. The incompatibility of extensions has led some to derisively expand "TIFF" as "Thousands of Incompatible File Formats".
