Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most basic technical difference between BMP and TIFF?
BMP (Bitmap) is an uncompressed, simple pixel map based on Windows. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is more flexible; it can contain metadata, ICC color profiles, and lossless compression algorithms like LZW. Converting BMP to TIFF transforms your image from a simple picture into an intelligent 'data container' understood by professional printing and archiving software.
Should I expect a decrease in file size during conversion?
While BMP format does not apply any compression, TIFF format supports lossless compression methods like LZW or ZIP. This allows your image quality to remain intact while significantly reducing file size compared to BMP, helping you save storage space.
Why is TIFF preferred for medical imaging or legal archiving?
TIFF format is the global standard for scientific and legal documents because it preserves data without distortion and offers extensive metadata support (date, device information, copyright). By converting your BMP files to TIFF, you can make your documents high-resolution, immutable digital evidence ready for future technological standards.
Do TIFF files converted from BMP support the CMYK color space?
Yes, this is one of TIFF's strongest features. Standard BMP files are typically limited to RGB (screen colors). However, when you switch to TIFF format, your file is converted to the CMYK color space used by printing machines and becomes fully ready for professional color separation processes.
