About GIF
A still GIF is a GIF image with a single frame: up to 256 colours from a palette, with optional transparency for one colour.
Simple graphics, small icons and images for very old software.
The 256-colour palette makes photos look banded or dithered.
Convert GIF to TIFF online free, no account required — TIFF is a flexible image format for print, scanning and archiving.
Change GIF to TIFF without losing quality — convert GIF to TIFF free in your browser.
Why won’t my GIF image animate? Some GIF files contain a single still frame rather than an animation, and no player will move them — turning the still into JPG or PNG keeps it crisp without the 256-colour limit.
About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format from 1986 that can store lossless or lossy images, several pages and high bit depths in one file.
Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.
Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
Why convert photos to TIFF? For print and archiving: no compression surprises, deep colour support, and every photo lab and printer accepts it.
What changes when you convert GIF to TIFF
- The GIF picture is re-encoded as TIFF at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
Settings you can change
Before you convert GIF to TIFF, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted TIFF file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
