HEIF to TIFF Converter

Turn HEIF photos from Android phones, cameras and iPhones into lossless TIFF files for print shops, publishing and archives - for screen use HEIF to PNG is lighter.

How to convert HEIF to TIFF

  1. Add your HEIF files. Drop up to 50 HEIF 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 it smaller? Compress TIFF.

Why convert HEIF to TIFF?

Samsung, Google Pixel and many cameras can save photos as HEIF, and iPhones use the same container.

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.
