TIFF 6.0 Specification
Final—June 3, 1992
Appendix B: Operating System
Considerations
Extensions and Filetypes
The recommended MS-DOS, UNIX, and OS/2 file extension for TIFF files is
“.TIF”.
On an Apple Macintosh computer, the recommended Filetype is “TIFF”. It is a
good idea to also name TIFF files with a “.TIF” extension so that they can easily
imported if transferred to a different operating system.
