About:
Largetifftools is a suite of utilities designed to handle extremely large TIFF files that often exceed the limits of standard image processing software. It provides efficient tools for splitting, merging, and inspecting massive TIFF datasets without loading the entire file into memory. This collection is essential for professionals working with high-resolution scans, satellite imagery, or large-scale scientific data.
Key Features:
  • Memory-efficient processing of multi-gigabyte TIFFs
  • Tools for splitting and merging large files
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Support for various TIFF compression formats
Use Cases:
  • Splitting large scanned document archives into manageable files
  • Merging satellite imagery tiles into a single mosaic
  • Processing scientific imaging data on compute clusters
Alternatives:
  • ImageMagick – More general-purpose but may struggle with files exceeding system memory
  • libtiff – Lower-level library requiring programming knowledge, while largetifftools provides ready-to-use utilities
