What is TIF?

Tagged Image File Format (.tif). TIF is the three-letter extension for TIFF, the flexible image format for print, publishing, scanning and archiving. It usually stores images losslessly at high bit depths, can hold several pages and transparency, and files are large.

Output format

What is GIF?

Graphics Interchange Format (.gif). GIF is the 1987 image format behind short looping animations. Each frame can use at most 256 colours and there is no sound, so GIFs of real video are large for their quality. Transparency is on or off per pixel, without soft edges.

Common use: Short animations, memes, reaction images, simple graphics
