TIFF Without LZW Compression

LEADTOOLS reads and writes several TIFF formats that do not require an LZW license.

TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. LEADTOOLS supports the most common TIFF formats. The usual file extension is TIFF for single-image files, and MPT for multipage files (which can contain many images). TIFF files can contain many comment fields of various types.

LEADTOOLS can read and write TIFF files that use RGB, CMYK, or YCbCr color space. LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with PackBits compression.

LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with Lossless JPEG compression for 8, 12, and 16-bit grayscale and 24-bit color spacing.

LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with CMP Compression for 8-bit grayscale and 24-bit color.

LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with JBIG Compression for the following bits per pixel: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32.

You can read the following bits per pixel, without regard for the color space: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64.

You can write the following bits per pixel, with RGB color space: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64.

You can write the following bits per pixel, with CMYK color space: 24, 32.

You can write the following bits per pixel, with YCbCr color space: 24.

You can read and write 12- bit grayscale.

You can write 16- bit grayscale.
