.RIF File Extension

Image created by Corel Painter (formerly MetaCreations Painter), a program used for digital painting; may include brushstrokes, pencil sketches, image hose graphics, and various other painted elements; saved separate from the canvas so the painter can experiment with different canvas textures later.

Since RIF files retain all project information, they are typically larger than standard raster image formats, such as .GIF or .JPG files.

NOTE: RIF files can also be opened by Corel Painter Essentials.
