What Is a TIF Document?
Photos are typically saved as BMP, JPEG, or GIF, but other photo formats are used to expand functionality or for a specific program. One of these formats is the TIF format. TIF stands for Tagged Image File and is often labeled as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) as well. The format is compatible with a lot of software programs, and while it will probably never be as popular as JPEG or GIF, TIF is commonly used in the graphics world.
