What is a CIFF file?

CIFF files mostly belong to BarTender. CIFF files are used for label design and store configuration data in an XML format.
They primarily serve as design files within the BarTender system for creating labels, which may include text, barcodes, images, and other printable elements. The file structure is organized using XML, making the data clear and editable if needed.

  • This file type is tightly linked to CAD labeling processes.
  • It is ideal for generating label templates that drive automated printing systems.
  • You can view the XML code with a text editor, though using BarTender ensures correct rendering.

How to open a CIFF file

You need a suitable software like BarTender to open a CIFF file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CIFF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CIFF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
