About TIFF files

Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.

Common questions about TIFF
Why are my scanned TIFF files hundreds of megabytes? TIFF keeps every detail for print and archival, usually uncompressed — after the archive copy is safe, a JPG or PNG version is far easier to send and share.
Why convert photos to TIFF? For print and archiving: no compression surprises, deep colour support, and every photo lab and printer accepts it.
Can Windows and phones open TIFF files? Windows and macOS open TIFF, but most phone gallery apps and browsers other than Safari cannot display it. Converting to PNG or JPG is the practical way to show a TIFF on a web page or send it to a phone.
