TIFF

TIFF Tagged Image File Format

TIFF is a flexible format used by scanners, publishers and photographers. It can hold uncompressed or losslessly compressed pixels, multiple pages and high bit depths.

GIF

GIF Graphics Interchange Format

GIF is a 1987 format limited to a 256-colour palette per frame. It survives because it animates everywhere: chat apps, email clients and forums all play GIFs without a video player.

Why convert TIFF to GIF?

TIFF files come from scanners, fax software and print workflows, and a single page can run to tens of megabytes. Files are large and web browsers cannot display TIFF directly. Choose GIF when the result has to loop in a chat app, forum or email client without a video player.

TIFF to GIF settings

GIF output is limited to 256 colours, which is ideal for simple graphics but can show banding in photos. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.

Frequently asked questions

Will the GIF lose quality?

No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel or sample in your TIFF is kept exactly.

Is transparency kept when converting TIFF to GIF?

Yes. GIF supports transparency, so transparent areas in your TIFF stay transparent.

Will the GIF be smaller than the TIFF?

Usually much smaller for photos: as a rough guide, the GIF comes out at around 30% of the TIFF's size, depending on the quality setting.
