TIFF to AVIF Converter

Turn heavy TIFF scans and photos into AVIF files that are a tiny fraction of the size - for an image that opens everywhere try TIFF to JPG.

How to convert TIFF to AVIF

  1. Add your TIFF files. Drop up to 50 TIFF files into the box, or browse for them. Multi-page TIFFs show their pages under the preview.
  2. Pick the pages. The first page is ticked. Tick any others you want - each becomes its own AVIF.
  3. Set quality and size. Quality 70 keeps scans clean. Max width 1920 or 2560 px saves the most for web use.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to AVIF. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Why convert TIFF to AVIF?

TIFF files are made for print and archives, not for screens.

A single scan can weigh 50-100 MB; as an AVIF it often fits in a few hundred KB and still looks great on any screen.

Keep the TIFF as your master and share the AVIF.

Tips

  • Resize scans - 300 DPI A4 scans are about 2500 x 3500 px, far more than screens need.
  • Text documents? Pick Full colour and quality 80+ so small letters stay sharp.
  • Need to look first? Open the file in the TIFF Viewer.
