C# TIFF Image Library
Read & Edit Tiff File in C#


Use C#.NET Tiff Reading and Editing Control to Process & Manipulate TIFF File








C#.NET TIFF Processing & Reading Control


Tagged Image File Format (known as TIFF) is a bitmapped and lossless image format, which is often used to store large but high-quality images. Besides, a multi-page TIFF file may contain several images. In order to provide C#.NET developers with advanced and easy to use APIs for TIFF file reading and editing, RasterEdge expressly designs a professional TIFF file processing software development kit (SDK), XDoc.Tiff for .NET, which can help Visual C# programmers manipulate and deal with TIFF file from various aspects.





Features List


Here we list all features supported by RasterEdge C#.NET TIFF file decoder & encoder control SDK.


  • Robust C#.NET SDK that can be used in .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5
  • Able to create or load Tiff file from PC local file, byte array and stream using C#.NET
  • Able to save standard Tiff file after manipulation using C#.NET class code
  • Offer rich APIs to process Tiff file and its pages, like merge, append, split, extract, create, insert, rotate, sort, etc.
  • Free to read, write and modify Tiff metadata and color profile in C#.NET application
  • Provide multiple compressing modes to compress Tiff file in C#.NET
  • Capable of annotating Tiff file with various text & graphics annotations

  • Enable to add XImage.OCR for .NET into C# Tiff imaging application for characters recognition and extraction
  • Easy to read & decode over 20+ barcodes from Tiff file in C#.NET application by using barcode reader SDK together
  • Free to add standard 1d & 2d barcodes to specified area of Tiff file in C#.NET with the help of barcode generator SDK




Get to Start




// Load from file.
TIFFDocument doc1 = new TIFFDocument("demo1.tif");
if (null == doc1) throw new Exception("Fail to load the file !");

// Load from stream.
using (FileStream stream = File.Open("demo2.tif", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
        TIFFDocument doc2 = new TIFFDocument(stream);
        if (null == doc2)
                throw new Exception("Fail to load TIFF document from the stream.");
}
