TIF

Tagged Image File

The .tif filename extension is the second filename extension that refers to the TIFF format (the other being .tiff) or fully, Tagged Image File Format. TIFF is a professional graphics file format developed by the Aldus Company in 1986 which later merged with Adobe Systems. The TIFF file format is from the Raster graphics family of graphics formats, widely used in the desktop publishing and digital camera industries. The format was popularized as a replacement format to the many proprietary formats used by different manufacturers of scanners. Through revisions and maintenance by Adobe Systems the format garnered a following, adapting to the growing and changing needs of the graphics industry.
GIF

Graphical Interchange Format File

The .gif filename extension refers to the GIF graphical file format created by CompuServe in 1987. The format is from the class of raster graphics which uses a dot matrix type data structure of orthogonally placed pixels, each with their own color information. The file format has a rich history of usage in storing sprite data for video games especially those released in the early 90's. The GIF format has also been used in low-resolution animation clips distributed over the internet, and in design of sharp-edged art that utilize a palette of a few colors up to a max of 256 colors. The GIF file format has its advantage in its compression technique, which limits file size but does not compromise image quality. The file format natively opens on many of the popular web browsers.

TIFF is the preferred file format when compared to JPEG and other lossy graphics formats for archiving images in the maximum resolution possible. This can be useful to graphics professionals if the large storage requirements for lossless TIFF files is not a deterrent. Being lossless means that TIFF files can be freely edited without any degradation.

The GIF format is formally specified in the GIF89a Specification released in 1989 and maintained by the World Wide Web consortium. The format uses the Lempel-Ziv-Welch data compression algorithm to create a single lossless file of multiple images known as frames. The GIF file format has a structure of blocks composed of control, graphics rendering, and special purpose blocks. The blocks begin with the header block, followed by the logical screen descriptor block, the graphic control block with the actual image and or text, and finally the gif trailer marking the end of the file.
