About the formats
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.
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.
