bmp is a bit mapped image = you save what you see ... every bit on your screen is stored into memory.
tiff is Tagged Image File Format = there are codes (tags) to tell the computer how the file (image) was saved ... it uses various types of compression to shrink the image as stored in memory.
A Raster images is made from pixels and can be saved in any number of well known formats such as JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF...
For Vector it's .png .tif/.tiff .gif For Bitmap it's .bmp .jpg/.jpeg .gif
An image file. It is a Microsoft bitmap file. You can open it in almost any image editor or viewer
Bitmap data can be saved in a wide variety of file formats like BMP,TIFF,GIF.Bitmap images can contain any number of colors.A bitmap image depends on resolution in that it contains a fixed number of pixels to represent the image data.As a result, a bitmap image can lose detail and appear jagged if viewed at a high magnification or printed at low resolution.Bitmap images are best for representing subtle gradations of shades and colour such as in photographs.
BMP is a file format for storing pictures on a computer. It stands for bit-map.
Image file formats.
I have never heard of .bif before, apparently it is an archive format and .bmp is a bitmap image file.
Google Docs supports .jpeg, .png, .gif (non-animated), .tiff, .bmp image formats.
You can make a screenshot of the window as described in the related question. Another possibility would be to print to an image format like TIFF. I am not sure if there is a TIFF printer driver out there, but for sure there is a Microsoft Image Writer. It saves into a Microsoft image format that can be later converted to TIFF.
The effect of the GIF,JPEG,PNG,BMP and TIFF on the data transfer

TIFF is somehow similar to other raster formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc. See the related question to get an overview on similarities and differences between these formats.
JPEG and BMP image types use different programs and algorithms to record and store the data. The BMP (bitmap) is the older format while the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format is more recent. One difference between a JPEG and a BMP file is that the bitmap file is larger in size. This is due to the JPEG file being compressed which in turn causes a loss in picture quality.
Though Paint.NET supports the following file formats: PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TGA, DDS, and TIFF, the native Paint.NET image type is PDN (which preserves layering).A PDN file is not compatible with Windows Movie Maker. You will have to convert the PaintNET image to a format compatible with the program if you want to use it:.bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .wmf

There are hundreds of image file types, but PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats are most often used to display images on the Internet. Others are BMP, TIFF, WMF, EMF, PDF, EPS, SWF...
