What TIFF to SVG conversion does

Embed a TIFF image inside a scalable SVG container directly in your browser. This does not vectorize the picture — it wraps the same raster pixels in an SVG wrapper for workflows that specifically need a .svg file.

How to convert TIFF to SVG

1. Choose a TIFF or TIF file.
2. Select Convert & download.
3. Save the .svg file from your browser downloads.

Why use this conversion

Some web embedding or document workflows specifically expect a .svg file, even for a raster image, so it can sit alongside other SVG assets or be styled by SVG-aware tooling.

Transparency and output quality

The embedded raster data keeps its original alpha channel. The image is embedded as base64 text, which adds roughly 33% overhead compared to the raw bytes, plus a small amount of SVG markup — the SVG file is larger than the source.

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: TIFF (.tif, .tiff) only, up to 25.0 MB and 8,192 px per side.
• This does not vectorize the image. Enlarging the SVG does not add any new detail; the raster content stays exactly as sharp (or blurry) as the source.
• Multi-page TIFF: only the first page is converted to SVG. Additional pages are not extracted or included in the download.
• Metadata is not preserved in the downloaded file.

TIFF to SVG FAQ

Why convert TIFF to SVG?

Some web embedding or document workflows specifically expect a .svg file, even for a raster image, so it can sit alongside other SVG assets or be styled by SVG-aware tooling.

Does this vectorize the image?

No. This wraps the same raster pixels inside an SVG container. Enlarging the SVG does not add any new detail.

Does SVG output keep transparency?

Yes. The embedded raster data keeps its original alpha channel.

Does this convert every page of a multi-page TIFF?

No. Only the first page (IFD) is converted. Additional pages are not extracted or included in the download.

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 a TIFF — the tool checks the byte-order header (little-endian "II*" or big-endian "MM*"), not just the filename or extension, before decoding.
