BigTIFF
TIFF for files larger than 4GB.
BigTIFF (often referred to as TIFF64) is an extension of the classic TIFF format designed to break the 4GB file size barrier. It uses 64-bit offsets instead of 32-bit, allowing for files up to 18,000 petabytes.
Standard TIFF uses 32-bit integers for file offsets, limiting the file size to 2^32 bytes (4GB). BigTIFF changes the internal structure to use 64-bit integers. It is not backward compatible with older TIFF readers that only understand 32-bit offsets.
Developed to address the needs of geospatial and medical imaging, where single images often exceed 4GB. It is supported by LibTIFF starting from version 4.0.
GIF 87a
The original 1987 specification of the Graphics Interchange Format.
GIF 87a is the original version of the GIF format, published by CompuServe in 1987. It introduced the core features that made GIF famous: LZW compression for small file sizes and support for 256 indexed colors. However, unlike the ubiquitous GIF 89a, this original version lacks support for transparency, animation delays, and metadata comments.
A GIF 87a file starts with the header signature `GIF87a`. It defines the Logical Screen Descriptor and the Global Color Table. While it supports multiple image blocks within a single file (which could conceptually form an animation), it lacks the 'Graphic Control Extension' block introduced in 89a. This means there is no standard way to define frame delays, disposal methods, or transparent indices.
Developed by CompuServe in 1987 to provide a hardware-independent, compressed color image format for their online service. It replaced the earlier RLE-based formats and was designed to be efficient over slow modems.
