I am working on reading text from an image through OCR. It only supports TIFF format images.

So, I need to convert other formats to TIFF format. Can it be done? Please help by providing some references.

If you create an Image object in .NET, you can save it as a TIFF. It is one of the many ImageFormat choices at your disposal.

Example:

var png = Image.FromFile("some.png");
png.Save("a.tiff", ImageFormat.Tiff);

You'll need to include the System.Drawing assembly in your project. That assembly will give you a lot of image manipulation capabilities. Hope that helps.
