IFF to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are IFF files?
IFF is an old image format associated with Amiga computers — a brand connected to Commodore, which used to be popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Commodore was one of the first types of personal computers to gain wide popularity among home users. An IFF file most likely contains an image that was created or edited using an image handling program on an Amiga computer. IFF files are currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so opening them with regular image viewers might be difficult.
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.
