# TIFF Tools Overview

Since LibTIFF version 4.6.0 only five tools are suported. Two tools can be built as unsupported into directory `tools/unsupported`. The source code of the other tools is moved to directory `archive/tools/`. This source code still serves as a programming example for the use of the TIFF library.

## Programs

Programs
Tool | Description
--- | ---
tiffcp | Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from `Compression=5` to `Compression=1`)
tiffdump | Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file (it’s very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from someone that claims they support TIFF)
tiffinfo | Display information about one or more TIFF files
tiffset | Set a field in a TIFF header
tiffsplit | Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) multi-image file
