C# TIFF Image Library
Create, Load and Save TIFF File

Overview

RasterEdge.XDoc.Tiff.dll empowers C# programmers with various Tiff imaging functionalities. To start with, you may need to create or load a Tiff document into your Visual C# project. Then, do advanced settings like viewing, annotating, converting, processing, etc. And finally, save the Tiff image file to byte array, stream or local file.

On this page, you will be guided to create or load a Tiff document in your C#.NET windows or web application. In addition, Tiff document saving demo is also provided. For more Tiff document reading and manipulating tutorials, please see Tiff File in C#.NET.

C# TIFF - How to Create TIFF Image File

This piece of C# coding example is used to create a TIFFDocument object include 3 pages.

// Create a TIFFDocument object include 3 pages.
int pageCount = 3;
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(pageCount);
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to create TIFF Document");

C# TIFF - How to Load TIFF Image File

XDoc.Tiff for .NET provides advanced APIs for C# programmers to load TIFFDocument from file, stream, byte array, Bitmap object array, and FileIOMgr handler. Please see demo code as below.

// Load a TIFFDocument from file.
string filePath = "demo.tif";
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(filePath);
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to load TIFF Document");

// Load a TIFFDocument from stream.
FileStream stream = new FileStream("demo.tif", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(stream);
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to load TIFF Document");

// Load a TIFFDocument from byte array.
byte[] array = File.ReadAllBytes(@"demo.tif");
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument(array);
if (null == doc)
        throw new Exception("Fail to load TIFF Document");

C# TIFF - How to Save TIFF Image File

After manipulations, you can easily save TIFFDocument to file (with defined path), stream or byte array.

// Save TIFFDocument to file with defined path.
TIFFDocument doc = new TIFFDocument("demo.tif");
doc.Save(@"output.tif");

// Save TIFFDocument to byte array.
byte[] result = doc.SaveToBytes();

// Save TIFFDocument to stream.
MemoryStream stream =new MemoryStream();
doc.SaveToStream(stream);
