.tif files are an image file format. You can open a .tif with most graphics editing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Freehand and CorelDraw. The format was co-developed by Microsoft, so you can also use .tif files in Word documents and Powerpoint presentations.

tif stands for tagged image format. There are a number of programs that you can use to open one although there are many different formats so you might not be able to open a tif file in one program but you can in another.
Some programs that you can use are: Adobe Photoshop; Microsoft Office Document Imaging; Paint; Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

.tif files are much the same as jpeg or .gif. They are image files and can be opened by: Right-clicking the TIF file > Open With > Choose Program
Select "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".
Check this box: "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
Click OK.

Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for mainly storing images, including photographs and line art. Originally created by the company Aldus, jointly with Microsoft, for use with PostScript printing, TIFF is a popular format for high color depth images, along with JPEG and PNG. TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications such as Photoshop by Adobe, GIMP, Ulead PhotoImpact and Paint Shop Pro by Corel, by desktop publishing and page layout applications, such as QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, and by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications. TIFF was chosen as the native format for raster graphics in the NeXTstep operating system, and this TIFF support carried over into Mac OS X. Adobe Systems, which acquired the PageMaker publishing program from Aldus, now controls the TIFF specification, although it has not had a major update since 1992 (several technical notes have been published with minor extensions to the format).
