Convert TIF to RTF
What is TIF?
TIF
TIF stores pixel data for professional imaging. Documents store text with formatting. While TIF images can be embedded in documents, the pixels don't contain extractable text without OCR processing.
- TIF stores pixel-based images, ideal for photographs and graphics requiring document embedding
- Embeds easily in document formats without quality loss
- Rectangular image bounds integrate cleanly into document layouts
- Fixed resolution determines final document print quality
What is RTF?
RTF
RTF stores text with formatting commands as ASCII character sequences. Images are pixel arrays at specific resolutions. Converting document to image means rendering the formatted text as pixels—transforming character codes and formatting commands into a visual raster. This creates a snapshot but removes text editability, searchability, and the ability to reflow content for different display contexts.
- RTF contains structured text and layout data that renders to fixed visual output
- Text and vector elements rasterize to pixels during image conversion
- Page layout determines final image dimensions and aspect ratio
