About TIFF files
The .TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is an industry-standard raster graphic file used extensively in professional photography, publishing, and document scanning. Originally developed by Aldus and now maintained by Adobe Inc., Wikipedia: TIFF files are prized for supporting lossless compression (like LZW) and multiple layers, making them ideal for high-resolution master images. They are typically opened and edited using Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or professional document scanning software.
However, the .TIFF format presents major challenges for everyday use. .TIFF files are notoriously massive, often exceeding 100MB per image. This makes them nearly impossible to send via standard email attachments or share on consumer messaging apps. Furthermore, they are not natively supported by modern web browsers, meaning you cannot embed a .TIFF directly into a website without errors.
To solve these issues, you must convert the file. For web use and fast sharing, convert .TIFF to JPG or WebP (note: layers will be flattened and quality compressed). For graphics requiring transparency, convert to PNG. If you are archiving multi-page scanned documents or faxes, convert to .PDF/A. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing heavy software. Our tool automatically detects if your .TIFF is actually a misnamed PDF, JPG, or PNG file, a surprisingly common error we detect in roughly 4% of uploads.

The TIFF Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TIFF converter.
