TIF is an image format that supports high-quality, lossless compression. TIF files are commonly used for storing photographs, scanned images, and artwork in professional environments. Due to their high file size, TIF is often used for archival purposes or when maintaining image quality is critical.
BMP is a bitmap image format primarily used on Windows-based systems. It stores images as pixel data and offers high-quality output without compression. While it provides precise details, BMP files tend to be larger than other formats like PNG or JPEG. It’s less commonly used for web applications due to its large file sizes.
