How to open file with .TIFF extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .TIFF file? Do you want to convert a .TIFF file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .TIFF

Full Name Developer Category
Aldus Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) Bitmap Image Adobe Systems Raster Image Files
.TIFF

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. The two formed a joint venture to develop a common standard for bitmapped graphic images, including line art, halftones and color photos. Initially, the file format was designed for Apple Macintosh computers, but in 1990 Aldus released an updated version of the standard for Windows. Since then, Adobe Photoshop, PageMaker, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Illustrator, and a range of other popular software products have been updated to support TIFF.

Features

One of the most prominent features of TIFF files is their ability to store large amounts of data in a very small size. This makes them ideal for large document files, such as documents with technical diagrams. Additionally, TIFF file formats can store high-resolution data. Images stored in this type of file retain sharpness and quality at virtually any resolution.

In terms of security, TIFF also provides protection against accidental data loss by supporting error detection features and recovery. The format is also suitable for encryption purposes as it's capable of storing multiple images in one file. Other popular image compression formats include .JPG, .PNG, and .GIF

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TIFF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TIFF extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TIFF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TIFF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TIFF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TIFF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TIFF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TIFF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TIFF file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .TIFF file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .TIFF file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
