TIFF converter

TIFF lives in scanner output and print pipelines; the rest of the software world mostly shrugs at it. The conversions below decode the first image in the file right in your browser and hand you a format everything opens.

What is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the 1986-vintage container that print, publishing, scanning and GIS workflows standardized on: it can hold multiple pages, layers, high bit depths and a zoo of compression schemes. That flexibility is why photo labs love it and why browsers and most consumer apps refuse it. A .tiff that escapes a professional pipeline usually needs converting before anyone else can look at it.
