| Description | May be the simplest file format, BMP was developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM. That is why it is widespread on Windows platform. This extension is characterized a raster graphic format which is recognized by many programs today. In comparison with other bitmap formats, JPEG and GIF, BMP keeps color data for each pixel in the image and doesn't compress images to decrease a file size. That is what makes it perfect file format for printable images. |

TIF is a high-quality image format used in scanning, printing, and archiving, but not all Windows applications handle .tif files equally — some older tools or specialized utilities refuse to open them. BMP is the native Windows bitmap format that every application reads without a plugin. Drop your .tif file above.
TIF (Tagged Image File Format, also written TIFF) is a flexible, lossless raster image format developed by Aldus Corporation and now maintained under the ISO 12234 standard. It supports multiple compression schemes, bit depths from 1 to 32 bits per channel, CMYK and Lab color spaces, and multi-page documents. Scanners, medical imaging systems, and print prepress workflows commonly produce TIF files. Some older Windows applications and lightweight tools cannot handle all TIFF variants.
BMP (Bitmap) is the native raster image format built into Windows. It stores pixels in an uncompressed grid at up to 32-bit color depth, with no quality loss. Every Windows application that handles images — Paint, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and countless utilities — reads BMP without any codec or plugin. BMP is the most broadly compatible image format on Windows.
