Free GIF to TIFF converter

Why convert GIF to TIFF?

People convert GIF to TIFF because GIF is stuck at 256 colours and balloons in size for anything longer than a few seconds, while TIFF is what print shops, archives and scanning workflows ask for by name.

How to convert GIF to TIFF

1. Choose your GIF file. Drop it on the box above, or tap to browse. You can pick several files at once.
2. Confirm the target is .tiff. It is preselected when your browser can encode it; otherwise the closest available target is chosen. Adjust quality, size or the other options if you want to.
3. Convert and download. Press Convert, then Download. Your file stays on your device the whole time.

What is a .gif file?

GIF holds a short, silent, looping animation limited to 256 colours per frame. That colour limit makes it poor for photographs and fine for flat graphics, screen recordings and reaction clips, which still play inline almost everywhere.

What is a .tiff file?

TIFF is the lossless format of scanners, print workflows and archives, able to hold multiple pages and very high bit depths. Files are large, and browsers cannot display one, so a TIFF usually has to be converted before it can be shared or put on a web page.

What to expect from this conversion

The target format is lossless, so every pixel of the decoded image is preserved exactly. The result can be larger than the original, which is the normal trade for keeping full quality. An animated GIF has many frames; converting to a still format keeps the first one.

Is it private?

Yes, by design. Every conversion happens inside your own browser using your device’s processor — there is no server that receives your GIF file, so there is nothing for anyone to store, scan or leak. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab while you convert, and you will see no upload.
