Large Format refers to film or the cameras that use film larger than 4x5
inches (102×127 mm).
The advantage is that a Large Format image has an
area 16 times the size of standard 35mm, thus containing 16 times the
resolution of a standard 35mm. This means Large Format images are of a
much higher resolution and often contain much more detail.

An example of a photographer who used to use large format on a regular basis is Ansel Adams. Because of his big landscapes, he used large format regularly so he was able to develop his prints with these high levels of detail.
