MDI files are among the most common, but users, especially beginners, may have trouble opening such files.
MDI format
MDI files are images. The MDI extension is based on the TIFF format. Compared to this format, MDI has more advantages, which is why it is used more often than TIFF. The main advantages of the MDI format can be attributed to the smaller size compared to the TIFF format, due to which they will take up less space on the computer's hard disk. In addition, compared to TIFF files, such images will have excellent quality even if lossless compression is applied to the TIFF file.
Programs that can be used to open an MDI file
Mostly, MDI files are opened with the installed Microsoft Office Document program. If it is absent, you need to install Microsoft Office and select it for installation. With the help of the Microsoft Office Document program, the user can not only view files in MDI format, but also use it when scanning any documents, view already scanned documents, edit scanned documents, copy them, as well as perform text recognition that is in the scanned document. Thus, it turns out that the possibilities of this program are almost endless and you can use it not only to open files in MDI format.
Another equally useful program is the MDI Viewer. The capabilities of this program are not as great as those of Microsoft Office Document, but with its help the user can also open and view files in MDI format. The interface of this program is quite simple, which means that even a beginner can handle it.
