How to use TIFF for Germany
- Photoshop and Affinity Photo — File → Open; check the size in pixels and the resolution, and for a print house convert the file to CMYK or simply download a CMYK TIFF from us.
- GIMP — opens TIFF with no plugins; handy for adding a caption, an inset or a frame before printing.
- InDesign, Word, LibreOffice — place it as an illustration; make sure the picture is not stretched beyond 100%, otherwise the effective resolution drops.

FAQ: TIFF for Germany
What's the difference between TIFF and GeoTIFF?
TIFF is a regular raster format. GeoTIFF additionally contains geodata (coordinates, projection).
Why TIFF over PNG?
TIFF supports CMYK (for printing), LZW compression, and larger dimensions. PNG is better for web.
Can I open TIFF in any editor?
Yes, TIFF is supported by Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, Preview, and other software.
What resolution does the file have?
300 DPI by default — the print standard; the value is set at export time. The final size in pixels depends on the sheet size and the area you selected.
Are there coordinates in the file?
No. A plain TIFF is only an image, with no geo tags and no world file. For work in a GIS take GeoTIFF: the same picture plus projection and referencing.
