Upload a `.tif` or `.tiff` file, choose your AVIF settings, and download the converted `.avif` file when processing finishes.
TIFF to AVIF Converter
Convert TIFF to AVIF when you need a modern delivery file from a .tif or .tiff source. Upload one TIFF image, choose lossy or lossless AVIF, resize the output if needed, and download the finished .avif file.
What This TIFF to AVIF Converter Does
This tool converts a TIFF image into a real AVIF file. It does not rename the file extension. Instead, it reads the uploaded TIFF, applies your output settings, and exports a new `.avif` image.
TIFF is often used as a source or working format. AVIF is more often used as a delivery format. That is why this converter is helpful when the original TIFF still matters, but the file you need to share or publish should be AVIF.
| Input | Output | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| `.tif` / `.tiff` / `image/tiff` | `.avif` | The source image is exported in AVIF format |
| Large TIFF image | Resized AVIF | Width and height can be adjusted before export |
| Flat source image | Flat AVIF image | The visible image is carried into the output file |
| Color or transparent TIFF | AVIF file | Transparency can be preserved when it exists in the source |
How to Convert TIFF to AVIF Online
1
Step 1: Upload your TIFF file
Choose a `.tif` or `.tiff` file from your device, or drag it into the upload area. The converter is scoped to TIFF input, so you do not need to rename the file first.
2
Step 2: Choose output settings
Leave width and height blank to keep the original dimensions. Enter a target size when the AVIF file needs to fit a specific layout or display area. Then choose lossy or lossless AVIF depending on how much you want to prioritize file size or fidelity.

Step 3: Convert and download the AVIF file
Start the conversion and wait for the output to finish. The result is a downloadable `.avif` file ready for supported browsers and other AVIF-aware apps.
TIFF vs AVIF: When the Conversion Makes Sense
TIFF and AVIF solve different problems. TIFF is commonly used for source files, scans, and higher-fidelity working images. AVIF is usually used for final delivery where the image needs to be easier to serve or share.
| Format | Best for | Practical trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| TIFF | Source files, scans, editing workflows | Often kept as the working original |
| AVIF | Modern delivery and smaller output copies | Needs current app or browser support |
Use this converter when the source TIFF is still useful, but the file you actually need to hand off is an AVIF version. If you need the TIFF itself as your long-term working file, keep the original and use AVIF only as the delivery copy.
Settings That Matter
Lossy vs lossless
Lossy mode is the better choice when the priority is a smaller AVIF file. Lossless mode is the safer choice when you want to keep the image as close as possible to the source.
Quality levels
The available quality choices are set up for practical use:
| Quality | Best for |
|---|---|
| 30-40 | Smaller output files |
| 50 | Balanced default |
| 60-80 | More visible detail |
Start with the default setting if you are not sure. Then compare the output at the size where the image will actually be used.
Resize during conversion
Width and height are optional. Use them when the source TIFF is larger than the final display size, or when you need a consistent export dimension for a page, app screen, or asset library.
Common Limits to Keep in Mind
This page is built for one image in and one AVIF file out. That keeps the workflow focused, but it also means you should prepare the source file before conversion if it has extra structure.
Multi-page or layered TIFFs
If your TIFF contains layers or multiple pages, flatten it or export the exact page you want before converting. This page is designed to produce a single AVIF result from a single image input.
Browser support
AVIF works best in current browser and app versions. If your next destination does not accept AVIF, keep the original TIFF and use the AVIF copy only where support is available.
Uploaded files are processed on the backend
Files are uploaded for conversion on our backend and scheduled for deletion within 24 hours. If a file is sensitive or regulated, think carefully before uploading it.
What Is a TIFF File?
A TIFF file is a Tagged Image File Format image. It is often used for scans, working files, and high-quality source images where preserving the original is more important than serving the final copy.
That is why TIFF to AVIF is a useful workflow: TIFF stays as the source, while AVIF becomes the version you actually deliver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This converter accepts both `.tif` and `.tiff` input files.
TIFF is a flexible image format often used for source files, scans, and high-quality images. It is common in workflows where the original file needs to stay intact for editing or archiving.
Use lossy AVIF when file size matters most. Use lossless AVIF when you want the output to stay as close as possible to the source image.
Yes. You can enter a width, a height, or both before conversion.
When the source TIFF contains transparency, the AVIF output can keep it. If transparency matters, preview the result on the background where it will be used.
This page is built for a single-image result. If your TIFF has layers or multiple pages, flatten it or export the page you want before converting.
TIFF is usually the source or working format. AVIF is usually the delivery format when you want a modern image file for supported apps and browsers.
No. Files are uploaded for backend processing and then scheduled for deletion within 24 hours.
Often, yes, but the final size depends on the image content, dimensions, and output settings.
