- Description
- The XIF file format, standing for Xerox Image Format, is primarily associated with scanned documents produced by Xerox scanning devices and software. It is a proprietary format developed to include both the image of a scanned document and its text content, leveraging OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to make the document searchable and editable. XIF files were designed to support advanced document imaging features, such as annotations and metadata, enhancing document management and archiving processes. However, due to its proprietary nature, XIF files require specific software from Xerox or compatible applications for viewing and editing.
- A TIF file is an image file saved in a high-quality graphics format. It is often used for storing images with many colors, typically digital photos, and includes support for layers and multiple pages.
