What is GEM file?
A GEM vector picture file .GEM is a proprietary file format developed by the Digital Research company for use with the GEM vector graphics library. GEM files, which are built around vector graphics, store images as a list of moving points in two-dimensional space, rather than as pixel data. This vector format allows users to resize images without losing image integrity or clarity, even after scaling up by several hundred times. [ ⏩ ] GEM file extension
What is TIFF file?
The .TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) file extension is a bitmapped graphics file format commonly used in desktop publishing. It supports lossless compression, which means images in TIFF format retain all original details and colors after compression. History The TIFF file extension was created in the mid-80s by Aldus, now a division of Adobe Systems, and Microsoft. [ ⏩ ] TIFF file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from GEM to TIFF?
To successfully convert the GEM file to TIFF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.GEM). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case TIFF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than TIFF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. GEM to TIFF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting GEM files to TIFF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension TIFF, while before this step we had the GEM file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new TIFF file, or not.
