FAQ
JIF to SHP Conversion
What are JIF files?
The JIF (Jeff's Image Format) file format was released at the end of the 1990s as an alternative to GIF. It has similar functions — can contain graphics and animation, but uses a different type of compression. It is currently considered a rare format and can only be opened by a limited number of image viewers.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
