How to convert HEIC to TIFF
Add your HEIC files
Drag the files onto the upload area or browse for them; you can add several files and they are converted one after another.
Keep TIFF as the output
TIFF is already selected. TIFF has no quality setting.
Convert and download
Press “Convert”. Each file is uploaded to our servers, converted and deleted within 5 minutes after you download the result; download the results one by one or as a ZIP.
What is preserved?
Kept
- The image resolution (pixel dimensions)
- The correct photo orientation (EXIF orientation is applied)
- Colors (adapted to sRGB)
- Transparency (alpha channel)
Changed
- TIFF is lossless, but the loss already introduced by HEIC compression does not come back; the file usually gets larger
Not carried over
- EXIF, location and camera data: left out of the output for privacy
- Extras stored in the HEIC file, such as a Live Photo clip or a depth map: only the main picture is converted
When to use it
iPhone photos for a photo lab
Print shops and photo labs that ask for TIFF often cannot read HEIC. Converting your photos gives them files they can process directly.
Edit photos without repeated compression
Working on a TIFF copy in an editing program avoids the extra loss that comes with saving a lossy format over and over.
Limitations to know
- Up to 200 MB and about 100 megapixels per file.
- The file is uploaded to our servers and deleted within 5 minutes after you download the result; several files are converted one after another.
About the formats
What is HEIC?
HEIC (also called HEIF) is the photo format that iPhones and many recent cameras use by default. It stores photos in about half the space of a JPG at similar quality and supports transparency and several images in one file. Web browsers and many programs cannot open it, which is why HEIC photos are usually converted to JPG, PNG or WebP before they are shared.
What is TIFF?
TIFF is a high-quality image format used for scans, professional photography and printing. It typically stores pixels without lossy compression and can hold high color depth and several pages in one file, so files are very large. Web browsers do not display TIFF, so it is converted to JPG or PNG for sharing and publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Are location and camera details kept in the TIFF?
No. EXIF data such as the location and camera model is not added to the TIFF, which also keeps your whereabouts out of shared files.
How large will the TIFF of an iPhone photo be?
Much larger than the HEIC. A 12-megapixel photo usually ends up at tens of megabytes as TIFF, because every pixel is kept.
Can I convert several iPhone photos to TIFF at once?
Yes. Add all the HEIC photos together; they are converted one after another and each one comes back as its own TIFF.
Is converting HEIC to TIFF free?
Yes, completely free. There is no account, subscription or watermark; just add your files and convert them.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
Yes. This conversion runs on our servers, so your file is uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, converted there and deleted as soon as the conversion finishes; the result is permanently deleted within 5 minutes after you download it, or 10 minutes after the conversion finishes if you never download it. Files are saved under a random code instead of their name, and processing is fully automated. EXIF and location data are not added to the output.
