The TIFF file formats use [[32-bit computing#Range for storing integers|32-bit offsets]], which limits file size to around 4 [[Gibibyte|GiB]]. Some implementations even use a signed 32-bit offset, running into issues around 2 GiB. BigTIFF is a TIFF variant file format which uses 64-bit offsets and supports much larger files (up to 18 exabytes in size).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://simplesystems.org/libtiff/bigtiffpr.html|title=Extending LibTiff library with support for the new format called BigTIFF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220514114445/http://simplesystems.org/libtiff/bigtiffpr.html|archive-date=14 May 2022|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html|title=The BigTIFF File Format|publisher=AWare Systems|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240706160214/https://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html|archive-date=6 July 2024|url-status=dead}}</ref> The BigTIFF file format specification was implemented in 2007 in development releases of [[LibTIFF]] version 4.0, which was finally released as stable in December 2011. Support for BigTIFF file formats by applications is limited.
