Imagemagick: convert: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded. `TIFFAppendToStrip' @ error/tiff.c/TIFFErrors/650.

Hi,

I am running a command (see below) to convert a jpeg image to tiff image by using -resize option.

convert -verbose -quality 100 -scale 54000 -units PixelsPerInch -density 300x300 -resample 300x300 input.jpeg -resize 54000 output.tif

I ran into an error (see below) after some time. The command gave me 314bytes of an image as an output.

convert: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded.TIFFAppendToStrip' @ error/tiff.c/TIFFErrors/650.`

If I run same command (see below) by changing scale and resize value to 28800, gave me 1.2GB of file.

convert -verbose -quality 100 -scale 28800 -units PixelsPerInch -density 300x300 -resample 300x300 input.jpeg -resize 28800 output.tif

System Configuration

• ImageMagick version: ImageMagick 7.0.8-12 Q16 x86_64 2018-10-05
• Environment (Operating system, version and so on): Ubuntu 16.04, 64-bit
• Additional Information: input.jpeg of size 15.9 MB

What is your question?

[ahmedtamseer]

Is there any size limit for output file?
Why I am getting convert: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded.TIFFAppendToStrip' @ error/tiff.c/TIFFErrors/650.` error??

Thank you for the update. So Tiff supports till 2GB for most of the time.??

The link above tells about big tiff. Is it an alternative for big tiff?? Can I use big tiff instead of normal tiff?

Use the TIFF64 format, for example,

convert hugeimage.pam tiff64:hugeimage.tif
