I am currently using the pixie library to read images. My guess is that it doesn't work yet for tiff images, but I didn't try it out yet. If that is the case, please consider opening an issue on https://github.com/treeform/pixie, asking for TIFF images support

sure, I'll do that, is there a way passing image with meta info and raw bytes to tesseract so we can avoiding image processing on user side, I know tesseract cli bundled with image processing libs.

Yes, it is possible, however you would need to use the raw tesseract api. I provided a minimal example on how to do that here: https://github.com/DavideGalilei/nimtesseract/blob/master/examples/advanced.nim#L30
