Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF)

GeoTIFF, an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Implementation Standard, is based on the TIFF format and is used as an interchange format for georeferenced raster imagery. While GeoTIFF has widespread use, it is not suitable for storing complex multi-dimensional data structures nor for storing vector data with many attributes or topology information.
