TIF Converter

What is a TIF file?

The first version of the TIF or TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format was released in 1986 by Aldus Corporation. Its purpose was to unite all companies to use the same image format for scanned files. Since then, TIF format evolved into a highly flexible format for keeping raster type graphics and data in one file with header tags. TIF can contain image formats with lossy and lossless image formats. In case TIF holds a lossless image format, you’ll get high image quality with manageable file size. To open, manipulate, or create a TIF file, you can use a wide spread of scanning, word processing, image manipulation applications, etc. such as GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, etc.

What is a GIF file?

GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was introduced back in 1987 by CompuServe. Even though GIF supports only 256 colors, it has significant usability on the web because it is portable and compatible with different platforms. GIFs are mostly used on websites for banners, header images, buttons, etc. Because GIF is a lossless format with LZW compression method, the image quality doesn’t deteriorate with reduced image size. Since most web browsers can open GIF files, it is easy enough to view them. However, to edit the GIF file, you’ll need apps such as Corel Draw, Photoshop Illustrator, OmniPage Ultimate, GIMP, etc.
