FAQ
MID to TIF Conversion
What are MID files?
MID is the attribute table of MapInfo's interchange format, in which map data are exchanged as a pair of text files. The shapes of the objects, such as points, lines, and areas, are kept in a file with the .mif extension, while the .mid file holds the descriptive data about the same objects, such as names, codes, numbers, and dates, in the form of a simple table. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and this pair of files is its open way of passing data to other programs, because both files are plain text and can be read and corrected in any text editor. The .mid file is not useful by itself, since it contains no coordinates.
What are TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
