How to convert GIF to TIFF:
1. Click the "Choose Files" button to select multiple files from your local device, or click the "URL" button to choose an online file. Image file size can be up to 200MB. You can use the file analyzer to get the source image's detailed information such as image size, resolution, quality, and transparent color.
2. Set the target image format, image quality, and image size. You can use the original image size or select the "Change width and height" option and enter a custom image size in the format [width]x[height] (e.g., 1920x1080). The image quality setting applies only to specific formats such as JPG, WEBP, or AVIF. The value ranges from 1 (lowest image quality and highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least effective compression). If left blank, the converter will use the estimated quality of your source image if it can be determined, otherwise 92. The target image format can be JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, BMP, PS, PSD, WEBP, TGA, DDS, AVIF, J2K, PNM, SVG, etc.
3. Click the "Convert Now!" button to start batch conversion. It will automatically retry conversion on another server if one fails; please be patient while converting. The output files will be listed in the "Conversion Results" section. Click the icon to show the file QR code or save the file to cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.
GIF vs TIFF:
| Name | GIF | TIFF |
| Full name | CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format | Tagged Image File Format |
| File extension | .gif | .tiff, .tif |
| MIME | image/gif | image/tiff, image/tiff-fx |
| Developed by | CompuServe | Adobe Systems |
| Type of format | Lossless bitmap image format | Image file format |
| Introduction | The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. | TIFF is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry and photographers. The TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications, by publishing and page layout applications, and by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition and other applications. |
| Technical details | GIF supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. GIF images are compressed using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. | A TIFF file, for example, can be a container holding JPEG (lossy) and PackBits (lossless) compressed images. A TIFF file also can include a vector-based clipping path (outlines, croppings, image frames). The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive. |
