What is MSG File Format?
MSG is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store individual email messages. MSG stands for “Outlook Message Format”. It contains all the components of an email, including the sender, recipient, subject, message body, attachments, and other metadata.
MSG files are proprietary to Microsoft Outlook and are commonly used for archiving or transferring email messages. They can be created when users save individual emails from their mailbox or when messages are exported or backed up from Outlook.
The MSG format preserves the original formatting and properties of the email, allowing it to be viewed and accessed in the same way as it was in the Outlook client. This includes retaining rich text formatting, hyperlinks, embedded images, and attachments.
MSG files can be opened and viewed directly in Microsoft Outlook. They can also be opened by other email clients that support the MSG format or by specialized software designed for MSG file handling. Additionally, MSG files can be converted to other formats, such as EML (Email Message Format), for compatibility with different email clients.
One notable feature of MSG files is the ability to store email attachments within the file itself. This ensures that all related content is kept together and can be easily accessed. It also simplifies the process of sharing or archiving emails with their attachments intact.
What is TIFF File Format?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely used file format for storing images, favored by graphic artists, the publishing industry, and photographers, both professional and amateur. It offers flexibility and versatility for image storage and manipulation. TIFF files can be either lossless or lossy. Lossless TIFF files retain all the original image data without any compression, resulting in larger file sizes. Lossy TIFF files, on the other hand, use compression techniques to reduce file size but may sacrifice some image quality.
Originally developed by Aldus, which later became part of Adobe, TIFF is now an Adobe specification. The most recent version was released in June 2009. TIFF files are supported by numerous image editing programs and have become a standard format for various applications.
TIFF files are commonly used when images require editing or manipulation. They are frequently utilized as input files in printing presses due to their high quality and ability to preserve fine details. Moreover, TIFF files are often chosen for archival purposes since they are lossless, ensuring that all image information is retained.
It’s important to note that TIFF files can be quite large, especially when uncompressed. As a result, they are sometimes converted to smaller formats like JPEG before being shared online or via email to optimize file size and transmission speed.
