PostScript to TIFF

Why convert PostScript to TIFF?

The main difference: PostScript is a vector format, while TIFF is a lossless format. TIFF can have a transparent background, PostScript can't.

Supports transparent backgrounds

TIFF can hold a transparent background. Convert your image first, then cut out the background or place it on top of other designs.

Crisp edges for editing and print

TIFF keeps sharp lines and text intact, which makes it the better choice for graphics, screenshots and anything you plan to print.

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.

Extension: .ps

What is a TIFF file?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality format used in professional photography, printing, scanning and publishing. It's usually saved without lossy compression, so it keeps every detail - and produces large files.

TIFF can store layers, 16-bit color, multiple pages and transparency, which makes it a favorite of print shops and archives. For sharing online, it's far too heavy.

How to open a TIFF file

Windows Photos and Mac Preview open most TIFF files. Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP and Affinity Photo handle advanced ones with layers or 16-bit color. Browsers generally can't display TIFF, so convert to JPG or PNG to share.

Extensions: .tif, .tiff
Compression: None or lossless (usually)
Transparency: Yes
Best for: Printing, scanning, archiving
