I have a single band raster file( that it is Grayscale) and I changed its symbology to unique value with a Known color ramp.

How can I save this raster file with its color ramp (to .tiff) so that it is displayed with that color ramp outside of ArcMap (in any picture viewer software)?

    what do you mean by "outside of arcmap" ? Another GIS software or simply a "picture" viewer ?

For viewing in a picture viewer software, which often do not read colormaps properly, the most robust method is to export an rgb file (in 3*8bits).

Simply go to file > Export map and this will create an RGB file in the format that you need. In layout view, you can make a map layout. In data view, the current display extent will be exported.

Another way is to right-click the raster layer with the symbology in the table of content -> Data -> Export data

enter image description here

Under Output Raster check both Use Rendered and Force RGB

You can open the output raster file (tif format) in any picture editing/viewing software such as Photoshop, GIMP, or any other software.
