About the formats
Adobe Illustrator artwork
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format, used by designers for logos, icons and illustrations. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, so they can be rasterised to an image or, where supported, traced back to clean vectors.
Strengths
- Editable, resolution-independent vectors
- Industry standard for professional design
- PDF-compatible under the hood
Limitations
- Needs Illustrator or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing designer artwork — usually converted to PNG, SVG or JPG to share.
TIFF image
TIFF is a high-fidelity raster format favoured in publishing, photography and scanning. It preserves maximum detail and supports layers, multiple pages and lossless compression.
Strengths
- Lossless, print-grade quality
- Supports layers and multiple pages
- Standard in scanning and prepress
Limitations
- Large files
- Poor browser/web support
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Printing, archiving and professional photo or scan workflows that demand top quality.
