AOL ART (ART) is a proprietary, heavily compressed raster image format that America Online used to speed up image loading over dial-up connections. It stores a single still image and trades visible quality for very small file sizes. When AOL members browsed the web, images were re-compressed into ART by AOL's proxy servers — a feature branded TurboWeb and later AOL TopSpeed — which users could turn off. The format is now obsolete.
Support has almost entirely disappeared: Internet Explorer removed ART rendering in a June 2006 security update, and mainstream viewers such as XnView and IrfanView cannot read AOL ART. The one reliable option is Graphic Workshop Professional (Windows) with its ART plugin installed.
Keep in mind that the .art extension is reused by unrelated programs, including Delcam/Autodesk ArtCAM, so a file that refuses to open may simply not be an AOL image. (ImageMagick's "ART" format is also a different format.) If your ART file is an AOL image, convert it to a modern format with our ART to JPG tool.

Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), also known as TIF, is one of the most common image file formats. The most prevalent use of TIFF files is in digital advertisements and desktop publishing. The bitmap and raster structure of TIFFs provide this file format with the flexibility to function as a container for JPEGs, image files with lossless compression, images with layers, or as pages.
The most common programs to open TIFF files are Photo Viewer for Windows and Apple Preview for macOS. A free and independent program you can use is called XnView MP. You can also use our TIFF to JPG converter if you are having trouble opening tiff files.
Alternative programs such as ColorStrokes, GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), Adobe Photoshop, and ACDSee are also useful for opening and handling TIFF files.
