What This Tool Does
This tool loads a GIF image directly in your browser using URL.createObjectURL and img.decode() for reliable, guaranteed non-blank rendering. It presents an interactive crop overlay with draggable handles, and converts the selected area to a lossless TIFF file. No server upload is required. The full workflow — loading, cropping, encoding — runs entirely in client-side JavaScript using the HTML5 Canvas API. The output is an uncompressed 24-bit RGB TIFF, compatible with professional print workflows, photo editing software, and archival systems.
Who This Is For
- Designers and archivists who need to extract a specific region from a GIF and preserve it in a lossless, print-ready format
- Print production professionals who require TIFF input and receive source assets as GIF
- Anyone needing to upgrade a GIF asset to full-color lossless TIFF without the 256-color restriction
- Users who want to trim and convert a GIF to TIFF without installing Photoshop or GIMP
