How to convert TIF to BMP with Easy2Convert TIFF to BMP How to convert TIF to BMP with Easy2Convert TIFF to BMP

Both BMP and TIF (or TIFF) are graphics formats that can store pixel-based images without compressing them, but they were created for different purposes. While BMP, also known as bitmap, is mostly used for displaying images on a computer screen, TIF photos are better suited for printing, as they contain additional information (commonly referred to as tags) such as resolution, print size, color space, transparency and so on. However, even though these two formats are pretty similar, TIF photos are not supported by as many imaging applications as BMP pictures are. In order to avoid this problem, a simple solution is converting your TIF image files to the BMP format. Another reason for changing your TIF pictures to BMP format might be the fact that BMP photos take less space on your hard drive compared to TIF and it can prove to be quite useful when dealing with large image collections.
