Concatenate two or more TIFF into 1 file

Question

I have 2 or more 1-page TIFF input files that need to be stored into 1 large TIFF. Using JAI, is there any way I can do that?

Answer 1

Here is an example that does what youwant:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
import javax.media.jai.PlanarImage;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.*;
public class Multipagetiff {
   public static PlanarImage readAsPlanarImage(String filename) {
      return JAI.create("fileload", filename);
   public static void saveAsMultipageTIFF(RenderedImage[] image, String file )
       throws java.io.IOException{
      String filename = file;
      if(!filename.endsWith(".tiff"))filename = new String(file+".tiff");
      OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
      TIFFEncodeParam param = new TIFFEncodeParam();
      ImageEncoder encoder = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("TIFF", out, param);
      Vector vector = new Vector();
      for(int i=1;i<image.length;i++) {
          vector.add(image);
param.setExtraImages(vector.iterator());
encoder.encode(image[0]);
out.close();
public void createMultipageTiff(String[] filenames){
RenderedImage image[] = new PlanarImage[filenames.length];
for(int i=0;i<filenames.length;i++) {
image[i] = readAsPlanarImage(filenames[i]);
try {
saveAsMultipageTIFF(image, "multipagetiff");
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
public static void main(String[] args){
Multipagetiff mtiff = new Multipagetiff();
if(args.length <1) {
System.out.println("Enter a image file names");
System.exit(0);
mtiff.createMultipageTiff(args);
