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.

XCF Converter

What is a XCF file?

XCF or eXperimental Computing Facility is an image format developed by GIMP, an open-source image editor. Because of frequent format revisions, XCF is not recommended as a data-interchange format. XCF format supports layers, channels, transparency, and even paths and guides. However, XCF doesn’t support the undo option for saving history. The compression used for this format is with the RLE algorithm. To open and edit XCF format with other applications rather than GIMP is limited and challenging but not impossible. Image editors such as XnView, Inkscape, IrfanView, Paint.NET, DBGallery, etc., offer partial viewing and modifying of XCF files.
