tiffcmp.exe
tiffcp.exe
tiffdump.exe
tiffinfo.exe
tiffsplit.exe
TIFF Toolkit Site License is $199.95 per server, you can purchase it from following web page directly,

TIFF Tools Overview
This software distribution comes with a small collection of programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for manipulating and interrogating the contents of TIFF images.
Device-dependent Programs
There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
tiffgt
Display the contents of one or more TIFF images on a Silicon Graphics system using the Silicon Graphics IRIS GL. The software makes extensive use of the TIFFRGBAImage facilities described elsewhere.
tiffsv
A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon Graphics system. As for tiffgt this code, while written to use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices.
Device-independent Programs
The remaining programs should be device-independent:
tiffinfo
Display information about one or more TIFF files.
tiffdump
Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file (it's very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from someone that claims they support TIFF)
tiffcp
Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from Compression=5 to Compression=1)
tiff2ps
Convert TIFF images to PostScript
tiffcmp
Compare the contents of two TIFF files (it does not check all the directory information, but does check all the data)
tiff2bw
A simple program to convert a color image to grayscale
ras2tiff
A quick hack that converts Sun rasterfile format images to TIFF -- it's less than complete
rgb2ycbcr
Convert an RGB, grayscale, or bilevel TIFF image to a YCbCr TIFF image; it's mainly provided for testing
gif2tiff
A quick hack that converts GIF 87a format images to TIFF
ppm2tiff
A quick hack that converts PPM format images to TIFF
fax2tiff
Convert raw Group 3 or Group 4 facsimile data to TIFF
pal2rgb
Convert a Palette-style image to a full color RGB image by applying the colormap
tiffdither
Dither a b&w image into a bilevel image (suitable for use in creating fax files)
tiffsplit
Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) multi-image file
fax2ps
Convert a Group 3- or Group 4- compressed TIFF to PostScript that is significantly more compressed than is generated by tiff2ps (unless tiff2ps writes PS Level II)
thumbnail
Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale "thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of how one might use the SubIFD tag (and the library support for it)
tiffmedian
A version of Paul Heckbert's median cut program that reads an RGB TIFF image, and creates a TIFF palette file as a result; it's useful for converting full-color RGB images to 8-bit color for your friends that have cheapo 8-bit framebuffers.
sgi2tiff
A program to convert SGI image files to TIFF. This program is only useful on SGI machines as it uses -limage.
Check out the manual pages for details about the above programs.
