The Zooming Interface Format is a multi-resolution bitmap image format used by Zoomcreator. It stores image data at multiple resolutions so very large images can be viewed and manipulated in a zooming space.
The format is obsolete. Its MIME type is image/zif.
Open the zif file with Zoomcreator on Microsoft Windows.
Compatible tools may be able to export zif files to other formats. If Zoomcreator opens the file, use an export or Save As function, if available, to create a more widely supported bitmap image.
