There are some alternative systems capable of converting as well. However, using Illustrator is the easiest and most direct way. To convert using Illustrator, begin by loading Adobe Illustrator and opening your AI file. From the ‘File’ menu, select ‘Export’. Choose a location on your computer and name your file. Then, using the dropdown ‘Save As Type’ menu, choose ‘TIFF’. Click ‘Save’.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don’t have access to Illustrator, you can use a browser-based converter. This requires a few extra steps and internet access.

Outside of that, it’s not the most accessible file extension. When this becomes an issue, converting makes a lot of sense. Converting the AI into a more accessible file results in easier-to-share images across a wider spectrum of users. If you have to send out files to hundreds of users, chances are not all of them will be able to open the AI. Keep this in mind when navigating different campaign project details and options.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TIFF is a great option to convert to because of its security, accessibility and size. If you’re sharing a lot of image files, it makes sense to offer them in the TIFF format so users can check the immense metadata and feel safer about the file. It’s also ideal because of how quickly it will send over things like email and digital messaging platforms. The quicker you can get the image files to other team members and clients, the more effective your campaigns will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI is great for building different brand images like logos and text-heavy pictures, but when it comes time to share these it lags behind. Switching to TIFF gives you a lot more options and extends the outreach of your powerful images.
