TIFF to GIF Converter

Turn TIFF scans, diagrams and graphics into small GIF images for the web and old systems - every page of a multi-page TIFF included. Photos look better as TIFF to JPG.

How to convert TIFF to GIF

  1. Add your TIFF files. Drop up to 50 TIFF files into the box, or browse for them. Multi-page TIFFs show every page under the preview.
  2. Pick the colours. A GIF holds up to 256 colours. Fewer colours make smaller files; dithering keeps gradients smooth.
  3. Pick the pages. Every page is ticked. Untick pages, or type a range such as 1-3.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to GIF. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Want the pages as one moving GIF? Save them here, then animate them in the GIF Maker.

Why convert TIFF to GIF?

TIFF files are big and most browsers cannot show them.

GIF is tiny for diagrams, charts, line art and scanned text, and every browser and email client shows it.

Black and white fax pages become especially small.

Tips
