MIF files are associated with MapInfo software. What kind of data MIF files contain? Files with MIF extension store various geographical data in plain text format. Each MIF file has a header section and object data section. MIF files are commonly used by various GIS software.
File with .TIF extension contains raster graphics along with metadata in the form of tags; TIF file can store multiple images. TIF suffix is equivalent to TIFF and the extensions can be used interchangeably. TIF is available in two versions – baseline and extended.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the MIF file after converting to TIF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from MIF to TIF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting MIF to TIF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in MIF format, properly converted to a TIF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file MIF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of MIF file to other than TIF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your MIF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to TIF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the MIF file in its original format (without conversion to TIF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
