What's the difference between pictures in tif and jpg format?

1, tif: It is a flexible bitmap format, which is mainly used to store images including photos and art drawings.

2.jpg: A general image format, developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1, tif: The storage of image information is flexible, and it can support a variety of color systems, regardless of the operating system, so it has been widely used.

2.jpg: By removing redundant image and color data through lossy compression, very rich and vivid images can be displayed at the same time, that is, better image quality can be obtained with less disk space.

Third, the advantages are different.

1, tif: In various geographic information systems, photogrammetry and remote sensing applications, images are required to have geocoding information, such as coordinate system, scale, coordinates of points on the image, latitude and longitude, length units and angle units.

2.jpg: Progressive transmission can be realized, that is, the outline of the image is transmitted first, and then the data is transmitted step by step, so as to continuously improve the image quality and make the image display from hazy to clear.
