Why convert AVIF to TIFF?

Archival systems, scanning software, and prepress/print pipelines are standardized on TIFF, and much of that tooling doesn't accept AVIF as an input yet. Converting gives you a TIFF those systems can open immediately.

Does the TIFF keep AVIF's HDR or high-bit-depth color?

No. This converter decodes every source to standard 8-bit-per-channel canvas data before writing the TIFF, so any HDR, wide-gamut, or 10/12-bit color the AVIF was carrying is lost — the output is always 8-bit RGBA. That's worth knowing here specifically, since TIFF is otherwise the format archival and high-fidelity workflows rely on.

What happens if the source AVIF is animated?

Only the first decodable frame is converted; the rest of the animation is discarded. Most AVIF files are static single images, so this only affects the less common animated (AVIS) profile — and AVIF decoding also depends on your browser's support.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser and does not upload your file to Looty Tools servers.

What is validated before conversion?

The file must actually be an AVIF — the tool checks the ISO-BMFF ftyp brand, not just the filename or extension, before decoding.

What AVIF to TIFF conversion does

Convert an AVIF image to TIFF directly in your browser. TIFF is the format archival, scanning, and prepress workflows standardize on, and much of that software still can't open AVIF — this decodes the AVIF and writes a straightforward, uncompressed TIFF those pipelines expect.

How to convert AVIF to TIFF

Choose a AVIF file.
Select Convert & download.
Save the .tiff file from your browser downloads.

Why use this conversion

Print shops, scanning software, and archival or digital-asset-management systems often require TIFF specifically and don't yet accept AVIF as an input, even though AVIF itself is technically capable of the HDR and high-bit-depth data those workflows care about.

Transparency and output quality

Output is uncompressed 8-bit RGBA, so an alpha channel carried in the source AVIF is preserved. This tool writes uncompressed TIFF (raw RGBA pixel data) rather than a compressed variant, so the file can be several times larger than a well-compressed AVIF source — a deliberate tradeoff for compatibility with archival and print tooling.

Privacy and local processing

Processing occurs locally in the browser.
Files are not uploaded to Looty Tools for conversion.
Converted files remain on your device.

Limits and known issues

Input: AVIF (.avif) only, up to 25.0 MB and 8,192 px per side.
This conversion decodes to standard 8-bit-per-channel canvas data before writing the TIFF, so any HDR, wide-gamut, or 10/12-bit color the source AVIF was carrying does not survive — the output is always 8-bit RGBA regardless of the source's bit depth. That matters more here than for most other targets, since TIFF is otherwise the format archival and high-fidelity work relies on.
If the source AVIF happens to be animated, only its first frame is converted to TIFF; the rest of the animation is discarded. Most AVIF files are static, so this only affects the less common animated (AVIS) profile.
Metadata is not preserved in the downloaded file.
