Matt,

The TIFF driver also supports writing 1-bit TIFF images. See NBITS in the
Creation Options section.

For example: gdal_translate source.tif output_1bit.tif -co NBITS=1

When reading a 1-bit TIFF image, GDAL will expand each bit as a byte.
When writting a 1-bit TIFF image, GDAL will write 1 as the bit value if the
pixel value is non-zero, or 0 as the bit value if the pixel value is zero.

Just to understand: is a 1-bit TIFF written or a 1-byte TIFF with only
1 bit used?

Markus,

It is written as a true one bit file.  You can even use the special 1bit
compression types (fax3 and fax4).

Best regards,
