How do I convert GIF to TIFF?

Upload your GIF file above. It is converted to TIFF automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting GIF to TIFF lose quality?

No new loss is added: TIFF stores the picture exactly as it is. Detail that GIF compression removed earlier can’t be restored.

Will the TIFF keep the transparent background?

Yes. TIFF supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

Will the animation be kept?

No. TIFF can’t hold animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.

GIF or TIFF: which should I use?

Use GIF for short animations, stickers and flat-colour graphics. Use TIFF for print production, scanning and long-term archiving. Keep in mind the main drawback of TIFF: very large files that web browsers won’t display.

GIF is the original web animation format. Each frame can use only 256 colours, so it suits simple graphics and short loops rather than photos.

Is the GIF to TIFF converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.

Why convert GIF to TIFF?

TIFF is lossless, so the converted image loses no further detail when you edit and save it again.
TIFF is made for print production, scanning and long-term archiving.

What to expect when converting GIF to TIFF

TIFF can’t hold this animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.
Converting can’t bring back detail that GIF compression already removed: the TIFF is an exact copy of the image as it is, usually in a bigger file.
