Multiff: Extract, Combine, Delete & Reorder Pages In TIFF Images

TIFF or Tagged Image File Format is a file format which is used for storing image used by both amateur and professional photographers.

Moreover, it lets you  convert images into different file formats, including PDF, JPG, DCX, AVI and ICO. Keep reading past the break to find out more about Multiff. Read More

Keka: Extract Protected Archives & Split Large Ones Into Parts [Mac]

Compressing files to reduce their size is something we’ve all done, either to save disk space, or to make it easier and faster to email them. For the Windows platform, there are a multitude of file compression applications available, and very few of them will cost you anything. Mac, however, is a different story. The default Mac archiving utility takes care of most compression formats, as does Unarchiver, a famous file compression and extraction app. However, password protected zip archives are different. Keka is a paid Mac app that handles the usual file compression and extraction functions, and can also create and open password protected files (provided you have the password; this isn’t for cracking passwords). The app supports 7Z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP and BZIP2, lets you password protect files, and split files by size suitable for writing to a CD or DVD. Keka costs $1.99 in the Mac app store, but if you want the older version of the app (which we tested), you can download it for free from the developer’s website. Read More
