TIFF to AVIF
Go from the largest image format to one of the smallest. Lossless TIFF sources make especially clean AVIF files.
TIFF to AVIF for portfolios and galleries
If you're a photographer or you manage an image archive, you want your work to look its best online, and you also want it to load quickly. This TIFF to AVIF converter gets you both: AVIF holds an impressive amount of detail at very small sizes, and a clean lossless TIFF is the ideal starting point for it.
Unlike converting from JPG, there are no earlier compression artifacts to preserve here, so AVIF can spend its limited data on real detail.
How to convert TIFF to AVIF
Try one or two images first to find the right quality setting, and then convert the rest.
- 1
Add your TIFF masters
Pick the .tif or .tiff files you want on the web. A run can include twenty.
- 2
Choose an AVIF quality
Start at around 65 to 75. Because the TIFF source is clean, AVIF has plenty of real detail to work with.
- 3
Encode and wait
Press Convert to AVIF. Large scans can take a while, because all of the work happens on your own computer.

Review and download
Zoom in on some fine details, compare, and then save the AVIF files.
Suggested settings
| Image type | Quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fine art and portfolio photos | 70–85 | Keeps subtle texture |
| Documentary or archive images | 60–75 | Good balance with big savings |
| Scanned text pages | 75–85 | Check that small letters stay crisp |
| Background images | 40–60 | Soft detail is acceptable |
What's kept, and what isn't
- Kept: full pixel dimensions and transparency, if the decoded image has it.
- Reduced: bit depth, which drops to 8 bits per channel for processing.
- Converted: color, which moves to standard screen color. CMYK files can shift a little, so check any brand-critical colors.
- Removed: metadata, including EXIF, IPTC and scanner details. Keep your master if you rely on those.
Serving AVIF on your website
All current major browsers display AVIF, including Safari 16 and later. For complete coverage, use the HTML picture element to provide a fallback, which you can make using TIFF to WEBP or TIFF to JPG. Those two are also a good idea when you need something faster to encode.
Always hold on to the TIFF. AVIF is a delivery format, and future edits, prints and reformats should go back to your master file.
Free and on your own device
Nothing is sent to any server, and that protects unpublished work. There's no account and no watermark. Files can be up to 250 MB, subject to the memory on your device.
