# Read Multiframe TIFF Memory Friendly

Reads multiframe image in TIFF format using memory-friendly Pipeline API.

## Instruction

Write a memory-friendly C# program using the Pipeline API that reads a multi-frame TIFF image and saves each frame as a separate JPEG image.

## Usings

```csharp
using Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs;
```

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var reader = new TiffReader("WriteMultiframeTiff.tif"))
{
    for (int i = 0; i < reader.Frames.Count; i++)
    {
        using (var writer = new JpegWriter("ReadMultiframeTiffMemoryFriendly_" + i + ".jpg"))
        {
            Pipeline.Run(reader.Frames[i] + writer);
        }
    }
}
```

## Explanation

Below is a C# code snippet that uses the memory-efficient Pipeline API to read each frame of a multi-frame TIFF and save it as an individual JPEG file.

This code avoids loading the full image into memory by streaming each frame from the TIFF directly into a JPEG file.
