MapInfo Pro Interchange Format (MIF) is an ASCII file format that can fully describe a MapInfo Pro database. Both graphic and tabular data are exported into MIF files. The graphic data is in a file with a " .mif " extension, and the tabular data is in a file with an ".mid" extension. MIF files can be created by MAP2MIF, BDY2MIF, MapInfo Pro, and other programs. You can also create your own MIF files in any ASCII text editor to later import into MapInfo Pro.
MapInfo Pro Interchange Format files can be translated into other formats with other programs.
