Is the export of a BigTIFF really a BigTIFF or a ZIF format?

In a project with archive software an export of a BigTIFF from FME is noticed as a ZIF format. So is the export of a BigTIFF really a BigTIFF?

 

The problem is that BigTIFF is an open format en ZIF is not an open format.

 

Information about ZIF:

ZIF File Format Specification (zoomify.com)

Hi @richdb​ that's strange that it's noticing the file as a ZIF format. We use the GDAL Open Libraries to create our GeoTIFF files, and the same applies for the creation of BigTIFF files. Hope this answers your question.
