About the formats
Bitmap image
BMP is an uncompressed raster format from the Windows world. It stores raw pixels with no quality loss, producing large but perfectly exact files.
Strengths
- Completely lossless, raw pixels
- Simple, widely readable on Windows
- No compression artefacts
Limitations
- Very large file sizes
- No transparency or animation
- Rarely used on the modern web
Best for: Legacy Windows workflows and cases where an uncompressed, exact bitmap is required.
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.
