JPEG and PNG are the two image file formats that we commonly use in our daily lives. However, there are various other image formats as well. TIFF or TIF is one image file extension that we will discuss today. It is the short form for the Tagged Image File Format. Sometimes it also goes by Tagged Image Format. Both are the same though.
In this article, we will discuss what is the use of this file format? Also, a few readers must be wondering how to open a TIFF file on any device. I will explain that as well. Normally, the images with the TIF extension have multiple images and layers in them. The images in these files are of the highest quality and that too without any compression. This indicates that the TIFF files are big. Ideally, these files are used for editing. From a collective of multiple layers of images, the editor can edit or recreate separate images.
How to Open TIFF File on Various Devices
As I mentioned the files with .TIF extension are primarily used for editing, you can open them on image editor tools. These files can easily open the stock image managing tools we have on Windows OS or macOS.
