HEIC to TIFF Converter

Turn iPhone and iPad photos into lossless TIFF files for print shops, publishing and archives - for screen use HEIC to PNG is lighter.

How to convert HEIC to TIFF

  1. Add your HEIC files. Drop up to 50 HEIC photos into the box, or browse for them. They are decoded on your device and never uploaded.
  2. Pick a compression. LZW is the default and opens everywhere. Deflate is a little smaller. Multi-page puts every photo into one TIFF.
  3. Adjust if you like. Resize, rename, or turn on Keep EXIF to keep the date and location. Every option starts closed and shows its value.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to TIFF. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Need a PDF instead? HEIC to PDF lays photos out on A4 or Letter pages.

Why convert HEIC to TIFF?

iPhones and iPads save every photo as HEIC by default.

TIFF is the working format of print shops, publishers, photo labs and archives.

Tips

  • For print turn on Keep profile, so the Display P3 colour of iPhone photos travels with the TIFF.
  • Keep EXIF to keep the date and camera details in your archive.
  • Too big to send? Compress TIFF can help.

Date, camera, location and colour

  • Removed by default. The TIFF has no camera details, date or GPS location unless you turn on Keep EXIF.
  • Location warning. When a photo has GPS coordinates, the page tells you before you share it.
  • Colour. Phone photos are often in Display P3. Keep profile saves that wider colour; the default converts to standard sRGB that looks the same everywhere.
  • Upright. Photos are turned the right way up, and the orientation tag is reset so no app turns them twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your HEIC photos into the box, check the settings and press Convert to TIFF.

One file downloads directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

No. Your browser decodes the HEIC and writes the TIFF on your device, so private photos stay private.

Windows needs the HEIF and the paid HEVC extensions from the Microsoft Store, and many websites and programs do not read HEIC at all. Converting to TIFF fixes that.

Yes. Turn on Multi-page TIFF and every photo becomes a page of one TIFF, in the order shown.

The TIFF is lossless and much bigger than the HEIC - 10-30 times is normal.

Only if you turn on Keep EXIF - by default they are removed. If the photo has a GPS location, the page warns you before you share it.

Bursts and collections show every picture under the preview. The first one is ticked; tick any others and each becomes its own TIFF.
