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.
.cur is the Windows Cursor (.cur) files. It is a static windows cursor file that is a still image that is identical to .ico (Icon) files in most ways aside from the file extensions that exists. It is used like the .ico files which are to view images in a different way. ANI formatted files, even in Windows 7 can view this type of file. It contains file header, info headers, and cursor data.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for TIFF to CUR conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload TIFF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized CUR 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 CUR audio with dependable progress tracking.
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.
CUR files are similar to ICO files in terms of file format and structure as .cur were developed by Microsoft Corporation just like the ICO file extension. CUR files can be to converted to other file formats such as PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PSD, and ANI. Additionally, CUR files can be downloaded from Microsoft's official website.
