Convert FAX to CIP

The FAX file extension, short for "facsimile", is primarily associated with digital fax documents. These files are typically saved in TIFF format and are used to store images of documents sent or received via fax software. Historically, fax technology allowed the transmission of scanned printed material over telephone networks, a practice that became widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, FAX files facilitate the digital handling of these documents, enabling easy archiving and viewing with compatible image viewers.

A CIP (Cisco IP-Phone Image Bitmap) file is a proprietary format used to store images and graphics for Cisco IP phones. It allows customization of phone interfaces with logos, branding, and themes. Created with Cisco Phone Designer software, CIP files can be installed via Cisco Phone Administrator software or USB drives. While primarily for Cisco IP phones, they can also store subtitles and other data.
