The TIF extension is a popular image transfer format among users. It is widely used for recognizing textual information, as well as for scanning graphics, tables, and text. TIF files are regularly used when sending/receiving faxes. But still,the main purpose of this extension is to work with graphical data. A characteristic feature of the TIF format is the storage of graphic images, which have a large depth of color palette. This is a high-quality image format that is easy to convert to others.
The PNG format was created to both enhance and replace the GIF format with a graphic format that does not require a license to use. Unlike GIF, PNG has alpha channel support and the ability to store an unlimited number of colors. PNG compresses data without losses, making it very useful for storing intermediate versions of image processing. Portable Network Graphics is a convenient format to place the file in an electronic document if it does not need to be printed later. PNG is completely unsuitable for printing, hence you have to convert it to print.
