Tifffile is a Python library to
1. store NumPy arrays in TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files, and
2. read image and metadata from TIFF-like files used in bioimaging.
Image and metadata can be read from TIFF, BigTIFF, OME-TIFF, DNG, STK,
LSM, SGI, NIHImage, ImageJ, MMStack, NDTiff, FluoView, ScanImage, SEQ,
GEL, SVS, SCN, SIS, BIF, ZIF (Zoomable Image File Format), QPTIFF
(QPI, PKI), NDPI, AVS, Philips DP, and GeoTIFF formatted files.
Image data can be read as NumPy arrays or Zarr arrays/groups from
strips, tiles, pages (IFDs), SubIFDs, higher order series, and
pyramidal levels.
Image data can be written to TIFF, BigTIFF, OME-TIFF, and ImageJ
hyperstack compatible files in multi-page, volumetric, pyramidal,
memory-mappable, tiled, predicted, or compressed form.
Many compression and predictor schemes are supported via the
imagecodecs library, including LZW, PackBits, Deflate, PIXTIFF, LZMA,
LERC, Zstd, JPEG (8 and 12-bit, lossless), JPEG 2000, JPEG XR,
JPEG XL, WebP, PNG, EER, Jetraw, 24-bit floating-point, and horizontal
differencing.
Tifffile can also be used to inspect TIFF structures, read image data
from multi-dimensional file sequences, write fsspec
ReferenceFileSystem for TIFF files and image file sequences, patch
TIFF tag values, and parse many proprietary metadata formats.
