Let your AI agent convert CID to TIFF
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents can do this with Filestar. This skill runs in Filestar's cloud and needs a paid Filestar plan.
Install Filestar and add it to your agents:
npm install -g filestar
filestarcli agent install
Then ask your agent:
“Convert the CID files in my Downloads folder to TIFF”
Or run it yourself:
filestarcli -i file.cid -c "convert to tiff"

This is a format for presenting fonts in PDF files that was initially conceived to store symbols in the Japanese and Chinese languages because it had a 16-bit structure and allowed for more precise adjustment. CID expands the the potential for PostScript by supporting languages that do not have a left-to-right orientation, and by supporting even a vertical mode of orientation.
A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
