Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate related issue #687 for context on TIFF support requirements. Examine existing codec implementations in the repository (e.g., for PNG, JPEG) to understand the pattern for adding a new codec. Explore WebAssembly codec libraries that support TIFF decoding/encoding, such as libtiff or a JavaScript port. Consider the complexity of TIFF's multiple compression methods and decide on a minimal viable implementation.
