they are lossless...
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files are typically lossless, meaning they preserve all the original image data without any compression that would degrade quality. However, TIFF can also support lossy compression methods, depending on the settings used when saving the file. This flexibility allows TIFF files to be used in various applications, from high-quality print graphics to more space-efficient storage. Overall, the lossless nature of TIFF is one of its key advantages, especially in professional imaging workflows.

Lossless. Compression techniques do not remove detail from the image.
The TIFF format supports two main types of compression: lossless compression, which preserves all image data without quality loss, and lossy compression, which reduces file size by sacrificing some image quality.

Yes, TIFF is a lossless file format, meaning it preserves all the original image data without compression or quality loss.
GIF is a lossless compression introduced by CompuServe in 1987 using Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression.
These are different file formats. jpeg uses a lossy compression algorithm. Tiff can use a lossless algorithm (the compression algorithithm can be defined for each image).TIFF is a flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, by including the header tags (size, definition, image-data arrangement, applied image compression) defining the image's geometry. For example, a TIFF file can be a container holding compressed (lossy) JPEG and (lossless) PackBits compressed images. A TIFF file also can include a vector-based Clipping path (outlines, croppings, image frames). The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive, because, unlike standard JPEG files, a TIFF file using lossless compression (or none) may be edited and re-saved without losing image quality. This is not the case when using the TIFF as a container holding compressed JPEG. Other TIFF options are layers and pages, neither are supported by JPEG.
