Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many TIFF files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting TIFF to AVIF reduce quality?
AVIF is lossy, so some fine detail is removed to make the file smaller. At the default quality it's hard to see; raise the Quality slider to keep more.
Does AVIF keep transparency?
Yes, AVIF supports transparency and it's kept.
Which browsers does the TIFF to AVIF converter work in?
It works in the latest Safari, Chrome and Edge, on computers and phones.
