Overview

Read and write TIFF files

Tifffile is a Python library to

  1. store numpy arrays in TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files, and
  2. read image and metadata from TIFF-like files used in bioimaging.

Image and metadata can be read from TIFF, BigTIFF, OME-TIFF, STK, LSM, SGI, NIHImage, ImageJ, MicroManager, FluoView, ScanImage, SEQ, GEL, SVS, SCN, SIS, BIF, ZIF (Zoomable Image File Format), QPTIFF (QPI), NDPI, and GeoTIFF files.

Image data can be read as numpy arrays or zarr arrays/groups from strips, tiles, pages (IFDs), SubIFDs, higher order series, and pyramidal levels.

Numpy arrays can be written to TIFF, BigTIFF, OME-TIFF, and ImageJ hyperstack compatible files in multi-page, volumetric, pyramidal, memory-mappable, tiled, predicted, or compressed form.

A subset of the TIFF specification is supported, mainly 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit integer, 16, 32 and 64-bit float, grayscale and multi-sample images. Specifically, CCITT and OJPEG compression, chroma subsampling without JPEG compression, color space transformations, samples with differing types, or IPTC, ICC, and XMP metadata are not implemented.

TIFF, the Tagged Image File Format, was created by the Aldus Corporation and Adobe Systems Incorporated. BigTIFF allows for files larger than 4 GB. STK, LSM, FluoView, SGI, SEQ, GEL, QPTIFF, NDPI, SCN, SVS, ZIF, BIF, and OME-TIFF, are custom extensions defined by Molecular Devices (Universal Imaging Corporation), Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Olympus, Silicon Graphics International, Media Cybernetics, Molecular Dynamics, PerkinElmer, Hamamatsu, Leica, ObjectivePathology, Roche Digital Pathology, and the Open Microscopy Environment consortium, respectively.

For command line usage run python -m tifffile --help

Notes

The API is not stable yet and might change between revisions.

Tested on little-endian platforms only.

Python 32-bit versions are deprecated. Python <= 3.7 are no longer supported.

Tifffile relies on the imagecodecs package for encoding and decoding LZW, JPEG, and other compressed image segments.

Several TIFF-like formats do not strictly adhere to the TIFF6 specification, some of which allow file or data sizes to exceed the 4 GB limit:

  • BigTIFF is identified by version number 43 and uses different file header, IFD, and tag structures with 64-bit offsets. It adds more data types. Tifffile can read and write BigTIFF files.
  • ImageJ hyperstacks store all image data, which may exceed 4 GB, contiguously after the first IFD. Files > 4 GB contain one IFD only. The size (shape and dtype) of the up to 6-dimensional image data can be determined from the ImageDescription tag of the first IFD, which is Latin-1 encoded. Tifffile can read and write ImageJ hyperstacks.
  • OME-TIFF stores up to 8-dimensional data in one or multiple TIFF of BigTIFF files. The 8-bit UTF-8 encoded OME-XML metadata found in the ImageDescription tag of the first IFD defines the position of TIFF IFDs in the high dimensional data. Tifffile can read OME-TIFF files, except when the OME-XML metadata are stored in a separate file. Tifffile can write numpy arrays to single-file OME-TIFF.
  • LSM stores all IFDs below 4 GB but wraps around 32-bit StripOffsets. The StripOffsets of each series and position require separate unwrapping. The StripByteCounts tag contains the number of bytes for the uncompressed data. Tifffile can read large LSM files.
  • STK (MetaMorph Stack) contains additional image planes stored contiguously after the image data of the first page. The total number of planes is equal to the counts of the UIC2tag. Tifffile can read STK files.
  • NDPI uses some 64-bit offsets in the file header, IFD, and tag structures. Tag values/offsets can be corrected using high bits stored after IFD structures. Tifffile can read NDPI files > 4 GB. JPEG compressed segments with dimensions >65530 or missing restart markers are not decodable with libjpeg. Tifffile works around this limitation by separately decoding the MCUs between restart markers. BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, and PhotometricInterpretation tags may contain wrong values, which can be corrected using the value of tag 65441.
  • Philips TIFF slides store wrong ImageWidth and ImageLength tag values for tiled pages. The values can be corrected using the DICOM_PIXEL_SPACING attributes of the XML formatted description of the first page. Tifffile can read Philips slides.
  • Ventana/Roche BIF slides store tiles and metadata in a BigTIFF container. Tiles may overlap and require stitching based on the TileJointInfo elements in the XMP tag. Volumetric scans are stored using the ImageDepth extension. Tifffile can read BIF and decode individual tiles, but does not perform stitching.
  • ScanImage optionally allows corrupted non-BigTIFF files > 2 GB. The values of StripOffsets and StripByteCounts can be recovered using the constant differences of the offsets of IFD and tag values throughout the file. Tifffile can read such files if the image data are stored contiguously in each page.
  • GeoTIFF sparse files allow strip or tile offsets and byte counts to be 0. Such segments are implicitly set to 0 or the NODATA value on reading. Tifffile can read GeoTIFF sparse files.

Examples

Write a numpy array to a single-page RGB TIFF file:

>>> data = numpy.random.randint(0, 255, (256, 256, 3), 'uint8')
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', data, photometric='rgb')

Read the image from the TIFF file as numpy array:

>>> image = imread('temp.tif')
>>> image.shape
(256, 256, 3)

Write a 3D numpy array to a multi-page, 16-bit grayscale TIFF file:

>>> data = numpy.random.randint(0, 2**12, (64, 301, 219), 'uint16')
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', data, photometric='minisblack')

Read the whole image stack from the TIFF file as numpy array:

>>> image_stack = imread('temp.tif')
>>> image_stack.shape
(64, 301, 219)
>>> image_stack.dtype
dtype('uint16')

Read the image from the first page in the TIFF file as numpy array:

>>> image = imread('temp.tif', key=0)
>>> image.shape
(301, 219)

Read images from a selected range of pages:

>>> images = imread('temp.tif', key=range(4, 40, 2))
>>> images.shape
(18, 301, 219)

Iterate over all pages in the TIFF file and successively read images:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.tif') as tif:
...     for page in tif.pages:
...         image = page.asarray()

Get information about the image stack in the TIFF file without reading the image data:

>>> tif = TiffFile('temp.tif')
>>> len(tif.pages)  # number of pages in the file
64
>>> page = tif.pages[0]  # get shape and dtype of the image in the first page
>>> page.shape
(301, 219)
>>> page.dtype
dtype('uint16')
>>> page.axes
'YX'
>>> series = tif.series[0]  # get shape and dtype of the first image series
>>> series.shape
(64, 301, 219)
>>> series.dtype
dtype('uint16')
>>> series.axes
'QYX'
>>> tif.close()

Inspect the "XResolution" tag from the first page in the TIFF file:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.tif') as tif:
...     tag = tif.pages[0].tags['XResolution']
>>> tag.value
(1, 1)
>>> tag.name
'XResolution'
>>> tag.code
282
>>> tag.count
1
>>> tag.dtype

Iterate over all tags in the TIFF file:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.tif') as tif:
...     for page in tif.pages:
...         for tag in page.tags:
...             tag_name, tag_value = tag.name, tag.value

Overwrite the value of an existing tag, e.g. XResolution:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.tif', mode='r+b') as tif:
...     _ = tif.pages[0].tags['XResolution'].overwrite((96000, 1000))

Write a floating-point ndarray and metadata using BigTIFF format, tiling, compression, and planar storage:

>>> data = numpy.random.rand(2, 5, 3, 301, 219).astype('float32')
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', data, bigtiff=True, photometric='minisblack',
...         compression='zlib', planarconfig='separate', tile=(32, 32),
...         metadata={'axes': 'TZCYX'})

Write a 10 fps time series of volumes with xyz voxel size 2.6755x2.6755x3.9474 micron^3 to an ImageJ hyperstack formatted TIFF file:

>>> volume = numpy.random.randn(6, 57, 256, 256).astype('float32')
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', volume, imagej=True, resolution=(1./2.6755, 1./2.6755),
...         metadata={'spacing': 3.947368, 'unit': 'um', 'finterval': 1/10,
...                   'axes': 'TZYX'})

Read the volume and metadata from the ImageJ file:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.tif') as tif:
...     volume = tif.asarray()
...     axes = tif.series[0].axes
...     imagej_metadata = tif.imagej_metadata
>>> volume.shape
(6, 57, 256, 256)
>>> axes
'TZYX'
>>> imagej_metadata['slices']
57
>>> imagej_metadata['frames']
6

Create a TIFF file containing an empty image and write to the memory-mapped numpy array:

>>> memmap_image = memmap(
...     'temp.tif', shape=(256, 256, 3), dtype='float32', photometric='rgb'
... )
>>> type(memmap_image)

   
>>> memmap_image[
   255, 
   255, 
   1] 
   = 
   1.0
>>> memmap_image.flush()
>>> 
   del memmap_image

Memory-map and read contiguous image data in the TIFF file:

>>> memmap_image = memmap('temp.tif')
>>> memmap_image.shape
(256, 256, 3)
>>> memmap_image[255, 255, 1]
1.0
>>> del memmap_image

Write two numpy arrays to a multi-series TIFF file:

>>> series0 = numpy.random.randint(0, 255, (32, 32, 3), 'uint8')
>>> series1 = numpy.random.randint(0, 1023, (4, 256, 256), 'uint16')
>>> with TiffWriter('temp.tif') as tif:
...     tif.write(series0, photometric='rgb')
...     tif.write(series1, photometric='minisblack')

Read the second image series from the TIFF file:

>>> series1 = imread('temp.tif', series=1)
>>> series1.shape
(4, 256, 256)

Successively write the frames of one contiguous series to a TIFF file:

>>> data = numpy.random.randint(0, 255, (30, 301, 219), 'uint8')
>>> with TiffWriter('temp.tif') as tif:
...     for frame in data:
...         tif.write(frame, contiguous=True)

Append an image series to the existing TIFF file:

>>> data = numpy.random.randint(0, 255, (301, 219, 3), 'uint8')
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', data, photometric='rgb', append=True)

Create a TIFF file from a generator of tiles:

>>> data = numpy.random.randint(0, 2**12, (31, 33, 3), 'uint16')
>>> def tiles(data, tileshape):
...     for y in range(0, data.shape[0], tileshape[0]):
...         for x in range(0, data.shape[1], tileshape[1]):
...             yield data[y : y + tileshape[0], x : x + tileshape[1]]
>>> imwrite('temp.tif', tiles(data, (16, 16)), tile=(16, 16),
...         shape=data.shape, dtype=data.dtype, photometric='rgb')

Write two numpy arrays to a multi-series OME-TIFF file:

>>> series0 = numpy.random.randint(0, 255, (32, 32, 3), 'uint8')
>>> series1 = numpy.random.randint(0, 1023, (4, 256, 256), 'uint16')
>>> with TiffWriter('temp.ome.tif') as tif:
...     tif.write(series0, photometric='rgb')
...     tif.write(series1, photometric='minisblack',
...               metadata={'axes': 'ZYX', 'SignificantBits': 10,
...                         'Plane': {'PositionZ': [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0]}})

Write a tiled, multi-resolution, pyramidal, OME-TIFF file using JPEG compression. Sub-resolution images are written to SubIFDs:

>>> data = numpy.arange(1024*1024*3, dtype='uint8').reshape((1024, 1024, 3))
>>> with TiffWriter('temp.ome.tif', bigtiff=True) as tif:
...     options = dict(tile=(256, 256), photometric='rgb', compression='jpeg')
...     tif.write(data, subifds=2, **options)
...     # save pyramid levels to the two subifds
...     # in production use resampling to generate sub-resolutions
...     tif.write(data[::2, ::2], subfiletype=1, **options)
...     tif.write(data[::4, ::4], subfiletype=1, **options)

Access the image levels in the pyramidal OME-TIFF file:

>>> baseimage = imread('temp.ome.tif')
>>> second_level = imread('temp.ome.tif', series=0, level=1)
>>> with TiffFile('temp.ome.tif') as tif:
...     baseimage = tif.series[0].asarray()
...     second_level = tif.series[0].levels[1].asarray()

Iterate over and decode single JPEG compressed tiles in the TIFF file:

>>> with TiffFile('temp.ome.tif') as tif:
...     fh = tif.filehandle
...     for page in tif.pages:
...         for index, (offset, bytecount) in enumerate(
...             zip(page.dataoffsets, page.databytecounts)
...         ):
...             _ = fh.seek(offset)
...             data = fh.read(bytecount)
...             tile, indices, shape = page.decode(
...                 data, index, jpegtables=page.jpegtables
...             )

Use zarr to read parts of the tiled, pyramidal images in the TIFF file:

>>> import zarr
>>> store = imread('temp.ome.tif', aszarr=True)
>>> z = zarr.open(store, mode='r')
>>> z

   
>>> z[
   0]  
   # base layer

   
    
>>> z[
    0][
    256:
    512, 
    512:
    768].shape  
    # read a tile from the base layer
(256, 256, 3)
>>> store.close()

Read images from a sequence of TIFF files as numpy array:

>>> imwrite('temp_C001T001.tif', numpy.random.rand(64, 64))
>>> imwrite('temp_C001T002.tif', numpy.random.rand(64, 64))
>>> image_sequence = imread(['temp_C001T001.tif', 'temp_C001T002.tif'])
>>> image_sequence.shape
(2, 64, 64)
>>> image_sequence.dtype
dtype('float64')

Read an image stack from a series of TIFF files with a file name pattern as numpy or zarr arrays:

>>> image_sequence = TiffSequence('temp_C0*.tif', pattern=r'_(C)(\d+)(T)(\d+)')
>>> image_sequence.shape
(1, 2)
>>> image_sequence.axes
'CT'
>>> data = image_sequence.asarray()
>>> data.shape
(1, 2, 64, 64)
>>> with image_sequence.aszarr() as store:
...     zarr.open(store, mode='r')

   
>>> image_sequence.close()

Write the zarr store to a fsspec ReferenceFileSystem in JSON format:

>>> with image_sequence.aszarr() as store:
...     store.write_fsspec('temp.json', url='file://')

Open the fsspec ReferenceFileSystem as a zarr array:

>>> import fsspec
>>> import tifffile.numcodecs
>>> tifffile.numcodecs.register_codec()
>>> mapper = fsspec.get_mapper(
...     'reference://', fo='temp.json', target_protocol='file')
>>> zarr.open(mapper, mode='r')

  • Creating a virtual zarr datacube from COG s3 objects

    Creating a virtual zarr datacube from COG s3 objects

    @cgohlke, as mentioned at https://github.com/fsspec/kerchunk/issues/78#issuecomment-1088696226, I'd like to try reading a time stack of geotiffs via the Zarr library.

    As as test, I've got 2 COGs on S3-API-accessible object storage that I'd like to create a virtual Zarr dataset for using the tifffile library.

    I can get it going if the COGS are local, but I'm a little unsure how to handle the s3 objects.

    I'm trying to do:

    

from tifffile import TiffSequence
import zarr
import fsspec

fs = fsspec.filesystem('s3', anon=True, client_kwargs={'endpoint_url': 'https://mghp.osn.xsede.org'})

flist = fs.ls('/rsignellbucket1/lcmap/cog')

s3_flist = [f's3://{f}' for f in flist]

# try with s3 urls:

    but neither one works. These buckets are public access (no egress!) so this code should be reproducible.

    Here's the Jupyter Notebook demonstrating the local success (except I'd like to use the native 2048x2048 chunking in the COG instead of the entire file!) and remote s3 failures.

    What is the best way to approach this?

  • [Proposal]: Dump ReferenceFileSystem spec for ZarrTiffStore that can be read natively as zarr

    [Proposal]: Dump ReferenceFileSystem spec for ZarrTiffStore that can be read natively as zarr

    Thank you so much for your work on this project. I just came across experimental aszarr and ZarrTiffStore and am so excited! I'd written some one-off stores wrapping tifffile to read different pyramidal images as zarr (for napari), but having this in tifffile is incredible!

    I'm curious if you've seen the proposed JSON specification for describing a ReferenceFileSystem? Asking naively, and a bit selfishly, would it be possible to detect whether a ZarrTiffStore can be natively read by zarr and "export" one of these references?

    I work on web-based tools for visualizing OME-TIFF / Zarr data, and it would be really useful to quickly create these references.

    Here is an example viewing a multiscale tiff on the web using zarr.js, and this is the python script I wrote with the newest version of tifffile to generate the reference. I wonder if there is some way to generalize this script, but don't have the familiarly with the underlying formats to know if this is a silly idea.

    I notice that the TiffZarrStore handles all compression, so I know at least you need to detect whether the chunk compression is supported in Zarr.

  • Fix fei_metadata for HELIOS FIB-SEM tiff images

    Fix fei_metadata for HELIOS FIB-SEM tiff images

    I have FIBSEM images where the metadata is not being parsed correctly by tifffile.

    Based on how the other metadata functions work (in particular, the sis_metadata function) I believe this line was intended to combine the two dictionary results: https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile/blob/375d97f62df6482142b51f1b38a49bdd24d18a60/tifffile/tifffile.py#L5814

    However in practice, python will only ever return the values from the first dictionary (the FEI_SFEG metadata).

    When I open a HELIOS tiff image, I get an empty dictionary back instead of the real metadata.

    from tifffile import TiffFile
tif = TiffFile(filename)
tif.fei_metadata  # unexpectedly returns an empty dictionary, instead of the real metadata values

    This pull request modifies the code to combine the python dictionaries using the dictionary .update() method, using the same pattern as the existing tifffile function sis_metadata.

  • Support Sony ARW lossless compression decoding

    Support Sony ARW lossless compression decoding

    See SubIFD0 of the Sony A1 sample here.

    This is very similar to the already supported DNG lossless JPEG (same compression "7"), with the small difference in tile arrangement. The ARW SubIFD0 is currently successfully decompressed (by lj92 codec I presume), but the image output is slightly jumbled because of difference in channel interleaving.

    In DNG, a 256x256 CFA tile is compressed as 128x256x2ch JPEG SOF3 tile, and I think line de-interleaved like this:

    1111 2222 1111 2222

    In ARW, this is 512x512 CFA tile to 256x256x4ch JPEG SOF3 tile which I guess should be de-interleaved like

    1212 3434 1212 3434

    (or potentially channels 2 and 3 swapped)

    Files produced in ScanImage 2020.1 cannot be parsed.

    We at Vidrio have received a ticket pertaining parsing scanimage tifs with tifffile. Just passing this on:

    In the newest scanimage, metadata from the images has changed and is no longer parseable by https://pypi.org/project/tifffile/

    My pipeline relies on this package. It seems the error is when the package tries to check if the metadata is a scanimage image in a not very robust way. I've fixed this for myself but this may affect other users.

  • Opening corrupt Aperio SVS file causes Out-of-Memory error

    Opening corrupt Aperio SVS file causes Out-of-Memory error

    Hi @cgohlke

    I encountered a corrupted AperioSVS file that causes a machine with 64GB of ram to run out-of-memory when trying to instantiate the TiffFile instance. Creating the instance causes a dramatic increase in process memory usage in the TiffTag loading part of tifffile, which just causes the server to kill the python process. Ideally I would expect the code to just crash early, so that cleanup can happen in python.

    Sadly I can't share the file, so here's some additional information:

    The filesize is 5958078846 bytes and it's recognized as TIFF.CLASSIC_LE tifffile detects tagno=3126 tags, of which almost all raise an unknown tag data type error. Then for tag tagno=2327 it calls TiffTag.from_file with offset=3256275384 and header=b'\x01\x00\x02\x00\x00?\x00\xeb5\x05\x92\x1b'

    from_file

    Which due to the large count causes a ~4.000.000 character string to be unpacked later in this code path and due to some string ops causes a massive increase in Memory consumption.

    I was wondering if there are upper bounds on the amount of data a TiffTag can contain, and this codepath could error early.

    Cheers, Andreas 😃

    Hi, first of all thanks for this great Python package.

    A question: I would like to seek and read within a set of large (4.3GB) OME-TIFF files, which were stored with MicroManager 2. Is it possible to memory-map and read these files with tifffile? I was only able to find the ability to write to memory-mapped files.

  • Preserving singlet dimensions when loading ImageJ hyperstack tifs

    Preserving singlet dimensions when loading ImageJ hyperstack tifs

    Noticed a change in behavior between 2019.5.30 -> 2019.6.18 and wanted to make sure it was intended. Hopefully I'm just missing a new way of preserving dimensions of size 1 when loading ImageJ hyperstack tifs.

    # works on tifffile==2019.5.30
# assert fails on tifffile==2019.6.18
import numpy as np
import tifffile
a = np.zeros((10, 5, 1, 256, 256), dtype='uint16')
md = {'frames': 10, 'slices': 5, 'channels': 1}
tifffile.imsave('test.tif', a, imagej=True, metadata=md)
b = tifffile.imread('test.tif')
assert b.shape == a.shape, f'Loaded array has shape {b.shape}, not {a.shape}'

    In the new version, it appears that dimensions of size 1 are not included in the final stack shape, even if they are specified in the imagej metadata:

    https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile/blob/6991c4ba1a1d1936cfad1bb249d1c74de08d449b/tifffile/tifffile.py#L2630-L2648

    In the older version, the channel dim would be included if it was specified in the metadata:

    It might be useful to add support to memmap to take in a list of tif files of compatible shapes and return a numpy.memmap with a shape representing concatenation along one of the axes. I could create a wrapper class for my own use cases but I thought I'd post here because this type of functionality might be useful to other users. I could help implement it (no timeline though) if you think it's worth having.

  • Numeric predictor settings are lost when writing

    Numeric predictor settings are lost when writing

    https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile/blob/master/tifffile/tifffile.py#L2063 takes the provided predictor value and converts it to a bool, which is then converted back into a numeric type later based on the datatype ( https://github.com/cgohlke/tifffile/blob/master/tifffile/tifffile.py#L2119 )

    The problem with this is that multiple predictor options are available for each data type - for example, 34894=floatingpointx2 - these cannot be used currently when writing.

    I'm working on a proof of concept patch to fix this, I'll push what I have so far tonight for comments.
