Why would I need a TIFF instead of AVIF?

TIFF is preferred for archiving, professional print workflows, and editing in software like Photoshop or Lightroom where lossless quality is critical. AVIF is optimized for web delivery; TIFF is the professional standard for print and archiving.

Can I convert multiple AVIF files at once?

Yes — this tool supports batch conversion. Drop up to 25+ files at once, monitor per-file status, then download individually or as a single ZIP archive.

Will TIFF files be much larger than AVIF?

Yes — AVIF uses highly efficient lossy or lossless compression, while TIFF stores uncompressed or lightly compressed pixel data. A 1 MB AVIF image may produce a TIFF of 10–40 MB. This is expected for a lossless format.

Does my data get uploaded to a server?

Never. All AVIF decoding and TIFF encoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device.

AVIF to TIFF Converter

Convert AVIF images to lossless TIFF format locally in your browser. Batch convert, preview thumbnails, download individually or as a ZIP. No uploads, no account required.

What This Tool Does

Converts AVIF images — the modern, highly compressed next-generation web format — to TIFF format entirely in your browser. TIFF is lossless: every pixel from your original is preserved. No server upload, no account, no file size limits imposed by a backend.

Who This Is For

Photographers and designers who receive AVIF files from web workflows but need TIFF for print or archiving
Print professionals who require TIFF input for RIP workflows and press-ready files
Designers using Photoshop or Affinity Photo who need TIFF for non-destructive layer editing
Anyone who needs to convert web-optimized AVIF images into lossless TIFF masters

Example: Input: photo.avif (compressed web image) → Output: photo.tiff (lossless, ready for Photoshop or print)

💡 Need a smaller file instead of lossless? Try TIFF to AVIF to go the other direction. For web-compatible output from AVIF, consider converting to WebP. Once you have a TIFF, Image Compressor can reduce its size if needed.

How It Works

Drop your AVIF filesDrag multiple .avif files onto the drop zone, or click Browse Files. Thumbnails generate immediately using the browser's native AVIF decoder.

Click Convert to TIFFThe browser decodes each AVIF to pixel data via createImageBitmap(); UTIF.js encodes it as a proper TIFF blob in memory.

Download your TIFFsDownload files individually or check "Download as ZIP" for a single timestamped archive. App resets after export.

🔒 Privacy & Security

All decoding and encoding runs entirely in your browser. AVIF files are never sent to any server — they stay in your browser's memory from load to download. This is especially important for sensitive, personal, or client images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting AVIF to TIFF reduce image quality?▼

No — TIFF is a lossless output format. The conversion reads all available pixel data from your AVIF file and writes it uncompressed into TIFF. The TIFF will be larger than the AVIF but contains the maximum available pixel data.

Why are TIFF files so much larger than AVIF?▼

AVIF uses the AV1 codec, which achieves extraordinary compression. TIFF stores raw or lightly compressed pixel data. A 1 MB AVIF image at 12MP can produce a TIFF of 30–50 MB. This is expected — TIFF stores every pixel, which is exactly what makes it ideal for print and archival workflows.

Can I convert multiple files at once?▼

Yes — drop up to 25 or more files at once. The tool processes them sequentially, shows per-file status badges, and lets you download all TIFFs individually or as a single timestamped ZIP.

What software opens TIFF files?▼

TIFF opens natively in Windows Photos, macOS Preview, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Affinity Photo, GIMP, and virtually all professional print and image editing applications.

Is this tool free with no limits?▼

Yes — completely free with no file size limits, no per-conversion limits, and no account required. Processing happens in your browser so we never see your files.

What is the ZIP file named?▼

The ZIP is named dataconversioncenter_avif_to_tiff_YYYYMMDDHHMM.zip using your local time — for example dataconversioncenter_avif_to_tiff_202603071200.zip.

Does my browser support AVIF decoding?▼

AVIF is supported natively in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, and Edge 121+. If your browser cannot decode a file, the tool will report an error for that file. All modern browsers released since 2023 support AVIF decoding.
