How to Convert HEIC to TIFF

  1. Upload your HEIC files by dragging and dropping or clicking the upload area. You can select up to 10 files at once from your iPhone or other Apple devices.
  2. Choose compression: Select None for maximum quality, LZW/ZIP for lossless compression, or JPEG for smaller files.
  3. Configure settings: Set color space (RGB for screen, CMYK for print), bit depth, and resolution (DPI) based on your needs.
  4. Convert and download: Click convert and download individual TIFF files or all as a ZIP archive.
Pro tip: Use our HEIC Analyzer to check your file details before converting, or try HEIC to JPG if you need smaller files for web use.

HEIC vs TIFF Comparison

HEIC

Apple's High Efficiency Image Container format. Uses advanced HEVC compression for 50% smaller files than JPEG with similar quality. Excellent for iPhone photos but has limited compatibility outside Apple ecosystem. Consider HEIC to PNG for web graphics with transparency.

TIFF

Tagged Image File Format - the gold standard for professional photography, printing, and archiving. Supports lossless compression, CMYK color space, 16-bit depth, and layers. Universally compatible with professional software like Photoshop, InDesign, and print workflows.

TIFF Compression Options

None

Uncompressed TIFF. Maximum quality with no data loss. Produces the largest files but guarantees perfect preservation. Best for archival purposes when storage space isn't a concern.

LZW

Lossless compression. Reduces file size by 20-50% with zero quality loss. Widely supported and ideal for images with large areas of solid color. Great balance of quality and size.

ZIP/Deflate

Lossless compression. Often achieves better compression than LZW for photographic images. Excellent for professional workflows where both quality and file size matter.

JPEG

Lossy compression. Smallest file sizes but with some quality loss. Useful when you need TIFF format compatibility but want smaller files. Quality can be adjusted 60-100%.

When to Use TIFF Format

Professional Printing

TIFF with CMYK color space and 300+ DPI is the industry standard for high-quality print production.

Long-term Archiving

Uncompressed or lossless TIFF preserves every detail for future use. Use our Image Resizer to adjust dimensions if needed.

Photo Editing

16-bit TIFF provides maximum color depth for extensive editing without banding or quality loss.

Publishing & Design

TIFF is preferred by publishers, magazines, and design agencies for its quality and compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

TIFF is the professional standard for printing and archiving. Unlike HEIC, TIFF is universally compatible with all professional software, supports CMYK color space for print, and can store images in 16-bit depth for maximum quality. Use our image compressors if you need smaller files for web use instead.

For printing and archiving, use LZW or ZIP compression - they reduce file size without any quality loss. Use uncompressed (None) only for critical archival needs. JPEG compression is suitable when you need smaller files and can accept minor quality loss.

Use CMYK when your images will be professionally printed (magazines, brochures, posters). For screen display, web, or home printing, RGB is the correct choice. Note that CMYK files are larger and colors may appear slightly different on screen.

For professional printing: 300 DPI minimum, 600 DPI for fine detail. For web/screen: 72-150 DPI is sufficient. Higher DPI increases file size but doesn't add detail beyond the source image's resolution. Try our TIFF Resizer to adjust dimensions after conversion.

Yes! With lossless compression (None, LZW, ZIP), all original image data is preserved. TIFF actually supports higher quality than HEIC with 16-bit color depth. Only JPEG compression introduces minor quality loss, but it's adjustable.
