Convert AVIF to TIFF
We turn AVIF into TIFF right in your browser — the file never goes to a server.
What you will lose
- Only the first frame survives

AVIF
Good at
- Compresses tighter than WebP — usually another 20–30 %
- Handles 10 bits per channel and high dynamic range
- Transparency and animation are both there
Awkward about
- Noticeably slower to encode than the others
- Support outside browsers is still thin
- On small images it sometimes loses to WebP on size
Use it when
- Large images on a site where weight matters
- When you have a fallback for older browsers
TIFF
Good at
- Stores losslessly at any colour depth
- Multiple pages in one file — scans and multi-page documents
- A standard in print and archival storage
Awkward about
- Files are very large
- Browsers do not display it
- So many internal variants that another program may not open your TIFF
Use it when
- Scanning and print preparation
- Archiving originals
Common questions
- Does the file get uploaded to a server?
- Yes, this pair needs the server: browsers cannot encode that format. The file and the result are deleted within a couple of hours and never shared.
- Will transparency survive?
- Yes, TIFF supports transparency, so semi-transparent edges stay as they were.
- Can I get the original quality back afterwards?
- Nothing is lost, but nothing is gained either. TIFF stores exactly what AVIF hands over, including the gaps AVIF left behind when it compressed. No tool can bring those back, and the file grows several times over. This conversion makes sense for editing, not for quality.
- How many files, and how large?
- Up to 30 files at a time, 50 MB each. No sign-up, no watermarks.
