The .ps filename extension refers to files authored using the open postscript programming language. The postscript format was developed and first released by Adobe Systems in 1982. It is a dynamically typed object oriented page description language format with graphics primitives that make it appropriate for use in desktop publication workflows. The postscript format quickly became the default language driving high resolution laser printers used by prepress service bureaus because it is well suited to describing page layouts with great precision. Several applications both proprietary and open source can allow you to open postscript files, others such as PDF creator or Adobe distiller will convert the postscript file into a PDF file for viewing. Postscript file editing can also be done with simple text editors given the standard character set used in the language.
The TIFF format was developed by the company Aldus in 1986, which was later acquired by Adobe systems who now own the rights on the format specification. TIFF, which refers to the Tagged Image File Format, is a raster graphics file format popularly used in desktop publishing and print. Its initial development goal was to create an alternative and cross platform format that would replace the numerous proprietary formats used by scanners developed in the 80's. Later revisions, after Adobe took over the development of the format, saw the TIFF format become extensible to adapt with growing and changing needs of the graphics industry. TIFF supports high color depth and is well suited to OCR applications, scanning, image editing and authoring as well as word processing. The format uses the filename extension .tiff for files stored in the format.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PS to TIFF conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload PS files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TIFF results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent TIFF audio with dependable progress tracking.
Postscript files are typically human readable files written in plain text. The ASCII or UTF-8 character encoding are the character sets used to form postscript files. Most postscript files can render directly on printer spoolers, and often begin with '%!' so that the printer postscript interpreter interprets the file as a postscript file rather than a plain text file.
The original version of the TIFF format had no support for compression but by the 5th release of the format, LZW compression (a lossless compression algorithm) was supported. However, the format can also be used to store data in a lossless format without compression. This cannot be done though if the TIFF file is acting as an archive for JPEG data which is inherently lossy. TIFF supports monochrome, grayscale, palette color, and full true color.
