# tiffsplittiles(1)

## NAME

```
  tiffsplittiles - Copies tiles from a tiled TIFF file into separate
TIFF files
```

## USAGE

```
  tiffsplittiles [-t] file.tif
```

## DESCRIPTION

tiffsplittiles opens file.tif and deals with its first image only (other  images, if present, will be omitted). If this image is tiled, it  produces one TIFF file containing each of the tiles; otherwise, it  outputs an error message. The compression type of each output file is  the same as in the input file. The output TIFF files are stripped by  default, or tiled if the option -t is provided on the command line.

The names given to the output files are created by adding the row and  column numbers of the piece after the name of the original image and  before the extension.

To speed up treatment, tiles will be extracted in parallel by the  available CPU cores, through the OpenMP library. Set environment  variable OMP\_NUM\_THREADS to n (e.g. 1) to prevent the use of more than n  cores.

## OPTIONS

- **-T**

  Do not report TIFF errors or warnings. Under Windows, they are reported with noisy dialog boxes.
