What is a TIFF File Type?

In the mid-1980s, the TIFF format was released as a d'format; a standard image for saving high quality color images-on multiple platforms-computer forms. Although widely adopted, the JPEG format l'has outperformed over the years because it was more efficient and the web-user-friendly. TIFF is now generally used to store photos for printing and editing purposes. TIFF files are also common with the extension .TIF.

Since the wide adoption of TIFF, many programs support TIFF files. You can use Microsoft Photos, which comes with the d'system, to open the' TIFF image. If you are a MacOS user you can use l' Preview d' Apple, which comes with the system.

The TIFF format was originally developed by Aldus, which merged with Adobe Systems in 1994.
