AVIF to TIFF
Take a modern web image and turn it into the lossless format that print and publishing tools understand.
AVIF to TIFF for print and publishing
AVIF and TIFF sit at opposite ends of the image world. AVIF squeezes pictures for fast websites, while TIFF preserves them for printers, publishers and archives. If a picture arrives as an AVIF and has to end up in a print layout, this AVIF to TIFF converter connects the two in your browser.
InDesign, QuarkXPress and most prepress systems handle TIFF without complaint, but they're unlikely to accept AVIF.
How to convert AVIF to TIFF
You'll need a browser with AVIF support, which any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari provides.
- 1
Upload your AVIF
Choose an .avif picture from your computer or phone. You can add up to 20 files for one run.
- 2
Press Convert to TIFF
No settings to tune here. Pixels are stored losslessly, and any transparency is flattened onto white.
- 3
Send it on
Save the TIFF and hand it to your printer or designer. It'll be many times bigger than the AVIF.
Questions to ask before printing an AVIF
Is it large enough?
Web images are usually sized for screens. Divide the pixel width by 300 for the sharp print width in inches. A 1600-pixel image prints at a little over 5 inches, and no format change will make it bigger without losing sharpness.
How heavily was it compressed?
AVIF can smooth away fine texture at low quality. Zoom to 100% and look at hair, fabric and fine lines. If they look smeared, ask for the original file, because that softness will show up in print.
Does the printer need CMYK?
This TIFF is RGB. Many print services convert it for you, but if yours asks for CMYK, finish in design software such as Photoshop or Affinity Photo.

Other options
Many online printers accept high-quality JPGs, and AVIF to JPG makes one quickly. If you intend to edit the picture and need to keep transparency, AVIF to PNG is a better starting point. To convert a TIFF back for web use, try TIFF to AVIF.

Frequently asked questions
Drop the AVIF on this page and press Convert to TIFF. Your browser decodes the image and writes an 8-bit RGB TIFF, ready to download.
AVIF is one of the most compact formats around, whereas TIFF stores every pixel without loss. A 100 KB AVIF can easily become a TIFF of several megabytes.
No. It's a lossless copy of what the AVIF decodes to, including any softness from compression. It won't get worse from here, but it can't get better either.
Not in this output. Transparent areas are flattened onto white. If you need the alpha channel, AVIF to PNG keeps it.
No. The output is 8-bit standard RGB, so HDR AVIF images are mapped to normal color.
Yes. Add up to 20 images, then download the TIFFs together in one ZIP file.
Yes. Nothing is uploaded, because the whole conversion is carried out by your browser.
