TIFF to AVIF Converter

Converting TIFF to AVIF produces the smallest possible modern image files from archival TIFF source. AVIF typically compresses to 50% of equivalent WebP, making it ideal for modernizing large TIFF libraries for web delivery.

What changes when you convert TIFF to AVIF

Encoding is slow (AVIF uses AV1 video compression). Lossless AVIF preserves exact 8-bit pixels; lossy AVIF at high quality is visually indistinguishable. 10- and 12-bit AVIF can preserve more of 16-bit TIFF's precision than WebP or JPG. Alpha transfers cleanly.

When to use this conversion

  • Dramatically shrinking archival TIFF libraries for web delivery
  • Modernizing professional photo archives for CDN distribution
  • Building primary-tier assets for a multi-format delivery pipeline
  • Preserving high-bit-depth TIFF content in a modern efficient format

Where the output plays

AVIF works in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, modern Edge, macOS, and iOS.

About these formats

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

TIFF is a 1986 container format used throughout professional photography, print production, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, 16-bit-per-channel color, embedded color profiles, and high bit-depth grayscale. Print shops, medical imaging, and GIS systems expect TIFF.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)

AVIF is an image format built on the AV1 video codec, standardized in 2019. It supports HDR, wide color gamut, 12-bit depth, alpha, and animation. At matched perceived quality it's typically 50% the size of JPG and 20% smaller than WebP. Support is near-universal in modern browsers but spottier in image editors.

How It Works

  1. Add your TIFF files Drag TIFF images onto the page or click to pick them from your file browser. Batch uploads are fine.
  2. Choose AVIF settings Pick quality or compression settings for the AVIF output. Defaults match common target use cases.
  3. Convert in your browser The converter runs locally via WebAssembly. Nothing uploads. Progress shows per file so you know exactly what's happening.
  4. Download AVIF files Grab each converted file individually, or download the whole batch as a single ZIP.

FAQ

Can AVIF preserve 16-bit TIFF precision?

AVIF supports 10- and 12-bit output, which captures more precision than 8-bit formats. Not quite 16-bit, but much closer than JPG, PNG, or WebP.

What about multi-page TIFF?

AVIF doesn't have native multi-page support. Only the first page converts.

Are my files private?

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
