What is a TIFF file?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, lossless format popular in print, scanning, and archiving. It preserves high fidelity but often results in large files that aren't always accepted by web apps or lightweight workflows.

How to open a TIFF file?

Many image editors and OS viewers support TIFF, but some web tools and CMSs do not. If compatibility or size is an issue, convert TIFF to PNG, JPG, WEBP, or AVIF using the converter above.

Editing tools like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop handle TIFF well and can export to other formats as needed.

Browse TIFF converters by target

Each pair has its own page with target-specific encode notes, file-size expectations, and metadata behavior.

TIFF to PNG

EXIF, IPTC, and ICC profile survive; high-bit-depth and layers flatten to standard PNG.

TIFF to JPG

Standard EXIF and IPTC survive; high-bit-depth color and layers drop.

TIFF to WEBP

Standard EXIF survives; layers flatten and high-bit-depth color drops to 8-bit.

TIFF to AVIF

EXIF, IPTC, and ICC survive; layers flatten but modern color depth is largely preserved.
