or browse your device · paste with Ctrl+V

Accepts .gif files. You can queue several files; each is processed one after another on your own device.

Your files never leave this device — there is no upload and no server to delete them from.

How to
  1. 01

    Add your GIF files

    Drop them onto the box above or click to browse. They are read straight from disk — nothing is sent anywhere.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    TIFF is already selected. Open the gear icon on any row if you want to change quality, dimensions or codec before converting.

  3. 03

    Download your TIFF

    Press convert and wait for the row to finish. Convert several files and you can take them all as a single ZIP.

GIF

Graphics Interchange Format

Limited to 256 colours per frame and technically obsolete for a decade, yet immortal because it animates and autoplays everywhere. For anything longer than a few seconds an MP4 or WebP will look better at a tenth of the size.

TIFF

Tagged Image File Format

The archival and print standard: multi-page, high bit depth, CMYK, and lossless by default. Scanners, publishers and museums rely on it; web browsers refuse to display it.

Worth knowing before you convert
  • GIF is lossless, and TIFF can be either. At typical quality settings this lands on lossy and trades size for some quality loss. Keep GIF as a source if you may need a higher-detail version later.

FAQ

Questions about converting GIF to TIFF

Is this GIF to TIFF converter free?

Yes. Converting GIF to TIFF here is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily quota. The work runs on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on to you.

Is my GIF file uploaded anywhere?

For browser-based pairs, your file is read locally and converted by Squoosh in this tab. No file payload is uploaded; you may still see analytics and engine downloads in network logs.

Is there a file-size limit for GIF to TIFF?

There is no imposed upload cap when it runs in-browser, but each conversion still depends on your device and browser memory. Large videos are the first practical limit, then memory-heavy documents or images.

Does converting GIF to TIFF lose quality?

It depends on your selected settings and codec path. Many engines can write either lossy or lossless output for TIFF, so you can usually increase quality if this file is your final version.

Can I convert several GIF files to TIFF at once?

Yes. Drop in several files and each gets its own row; they are processed one after another on your device. You can download them one by one or as one ZIP.

Does GIF to TIFF work on a phone, Mac or Chromebook?

Most modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS work. Very large videos are often more reliable on desktop or a browser with more memory.

Why do some conversions take longer on first run?

The conversion engine has to download first. Small codec bundles are fast, while ffmpeg is commonly 12–30 MB; later conversions of similar type use the cached engine.

I converted a file and the output is blank or unusable. What should I check?

Start over with default settings, then change one option at a time (quality, bitrate, page size, or codec) to isolate what changed behavior. If it keeps failing, retry with a smaller file and confirm the source format matches the pair.
