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.
SVG or Scalable Vector Graphic File is a graphical format for images which are bi-dimensional and XML-based providing support to animations and various interactive elements. The SVG file format was developed with the open standards created in 1999 by the W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium). Adobe Corporation held the significant role towards the development of this file format, and it is considered to be the industry standard for viewing vector graphics on web networks. SVG images can be created, edited, and recreated in any of the text editing tools and drawing or illustration software. Additionally, SVG can be compressed, searched, scripted, and indexed.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for TIF to SVG conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload TIF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized SVG 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 SVG audio with dependable progress tracking.
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.
SVG files can use vector shapes, text and bitmap images. The animations produced by SVG drawings are interactive and are technically created by the DOM-access scripting included in SVG files. CSS and JavaScript programming languages can be used for the styling, scripting, internalization, and localization of SVG files. XMT files and Part 11 of MPEG-4 file formats also use SVG files.
