TIFF

TIFF, short for tagged image file format, was originally created to standardize the format to which optical image scanners would record back in the 1980s. Before TIFF, each manufacturer would introduce their own formats that wouldn't be compatible with each computer, leading to an understandably nightmarish compatibility scenario. 

 
TIFF doesn't utilize any sort of lossy compression, meaning the format still maintains the full information of each image. As a result, TIFFs don't suffer from any sort of artifacting, nor are they small. While a high-resolution JPEG might take up 5MB, a comparable high resolution TIFF will take up about 14MB.
