PictureSharp.Tiff

TIFF for PictureSharp, in 100% C#. No native dependencies.

Reads and writes TIFF and BigTIFF on .NET 10+ with PictureSharp 0.7.9+. No native libraries or P/Invoke.

dotnet add package PictureSharp.Tiff

Use

Register the format once; Image.Load, Identify, ReadMetadata, EditMetadata and Save then handle .tif and .tiff:

using PictureSharp;
using PictureSharp.Formats.Tiff;

ImageConfiguration.Default = ImageConfiguration.Default.ToBuilder().AddFormat(new TiffFormat()).Build();

using var image = Image.Load("scan.tif");          // first page; ICC, EXIF and XMP kept
image.Mutate(x => x.AutoOrient().Resize(1600, 0));
image.SaveAsTiff("small.tif");                     // LZW, smallest lossless colour type
image.SaveAsTiff("photo.tif", new TiffEncoderOptions { Compression = TiffCompression.Jpeg, JpegQuality = 90 });

Other pages are selected with TiffDecoderOptions; every frame of an Image is written as a page:

int pages = Image.Identify("fax.tif").ContainerItemCount;
using var second = Image.Load("fax.tif", new DecoderOptions { FormatOptions = [new TiffDecoderOptions { Page = 1 }] });

A library can pass its own configuration through DecoderOptions.Configuration and EncoderOptions.Configuration instead of changing the default.

Support


Read	classic TIFF and BigTIFF, both byte orders, strips and tiles, planar; none, PackBits, LZW, Deflate, JPEG, WebP, CCITT RLE, Group 3 and Group 4; greyscale 1–16 bits, palette, RGB and CMYK 8/16 bits, YCbCr, 32-bit float, with or without alpha; one page at a time
Write	every frame as a page, strips or tiles, classic TIFF or BigTIFF; none, PackBits, LZW, Deflate, JPEG, WebP and CCITT Group 4; 8-bit grey, grey + alpha, RGB, RGBA, palette and 1-bit black and white; compressed in parallel
Metadata	ICC, XMP, EXIF/GPS, orientation and resolution, read and written; `EditMetadata` without re-encoding
Not supported	old-style JPEG, JBIG, LZMA, Zstandard, CIE Lab, signed samples; writing 16-bit, CMYK or planar data

Limits (MaxPixels, MaxInputBytes, MaxMetadataBytes) and cancellation work as for built-in formats. Decoded pixels match libtiff 4.5.1 and Pillow 10.2.0; lossless output reads back exactly in both, and LZW, PackBits and Group 4 data is byte-identical to libtiff's. LZW writing on one thread runs as fast as libtiff, and parallel compression on 16 threads is about 6× faster (measurements).

0.5.0 release notes: writing TIFF and BigTIFF, multi-page, tiles, parallel compression and EditMetadata.
