TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. It's a popular file format for storing raster graphics images, especially for high-quality images or those with multiple layers or pages. TIFF files support a variety of color depths, including monochrome, grayscale, and full-color RGB images. They also support lossless compression, which means that image quality is maintained even when the file size is reduced.
