About TIFF to GIF conversion
TIFF is created in 1986 by Aldus and later maintained by Adobe and is the the gold standard in professional publishing and fine art reproduction for print publishing, professional photography. GIF was created by CompuServe in 1987 and is best for short animations, simple graphics. Converting TIFF to GIF gives you a file that works in the tools and platforms where GIF is required. TIFF files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to GIF solves compatibility issues.
