The format uses 32bit offsets, and as such, it is limited to 4 gigabytes. Many implementations handle these offsets using signed integers, and thus support files of up to 2 gigabytes, but the only real limit resulting from the format specification is 4 gigabytes. The BigTIFF file format is an ongoing attempt to design a next version of TIFF, specifically targeted at breaking the 4 gigabyte boundary.
