TIFF has to be written on our server, so the file is uploaded, converted in memory and sent straight back. It is never written to disk and never stored. Need test files? Try our free sample files.

This free AVIF to TIFF converter turns your .avif images into .tif files. AVIF is what a modern site serves to save bandwidth, and what almost no desktop application will open. People usually arrive here having saved one from a web page and found that Photoshop, Preview, Windows Photos and every stock uploader refuse it.

Because browsers cannot write TIFF, this one runs on our server: the file is converted in memory and sent straight back. It is never written to disk, never logged and never stored.

How to convert AVIF to TIFF

  1. Drop your AVIF files onto the box above, or click it to choose from your computer. Up to 20 at once.
  2. The conversion starts as soon as the file is read — there is nothing to configure.
  3. Download each converted file, or pick them up one by one from the list.

What changes when you convert AVIF to TIFF

TIFF is lossless, but it cannot restore what AVIF already discarded. The output will be larger than the input and no sharper — you are preserving the current state, not recovering the original.

AVIF: Built on the AV1 video codec, typically half the size of JPG at the same quality, with transparency and wide colour. Browsers can display it, but almost no desktop software can open or edit it, which is why converting out of AVIF is such a common need.

TIFF: The lossless workhorse of print, scanning and archiving. Can hold multiple pages and very high bit depths, which makes the files large and keeps browsers from displaying them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert AVIF to TIFF?

Drop your .avif file onto the box on this page and the .tif file is ready to download in a second or two. There is no signup, no email, no watermark and no file limit beyond about 4 MB per upload — larger images are re-encoded smaller in your browser first, and the page says so when that happens.

Is this AVIF to TIFF converter free?

Yes, completely, with no account, no trial and no watermark on the output. We are a consultancy and these tools exist because we needed them ourselves; there is nothing to buy on this page.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

This one has to run on our server, because browsers cannot write TIFF. The file is converted in memory and returned immediately — it is never written to disk, never logged and never stored. If that is not acceptable for your file, use a desktop tool instead.

Will converting to TIFF reduce the quality?

TIFF is lossless, but it cannot restore what AVIF already discarded. The output will be larger than the input and no sharper — you are preserving the current state, not recovering the original.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes, up to 20 files in one go. Drop them all onto the box together and each one appears in the results list with its own download button.
