TIFF to HEIC Converter
To convert TIFF to HEIC, add your TIFF files, keep HEIC as the output and press Convert. Large TIFF scans and camera images usually become many times smaller; the quality slider starts at 80%, and for a multi-page TIFF only the first page is converted. Each file is uploaded to our servers over a secure connection, converted there and deleted within 5 minutes after you download the result.
- Free, no sign-up
- Uploaded securely, deleted within 5 minutes of download
- Up to 200 MB per file
For multi-page TIFF files only the first page is converted.
Your file is uploaded to our servers over a secure (HTTPS) connection, converted there and permanently deleted within 5 minutes after you download the result. Files are converted one after another.
How to convert TIFF to HEIC
Add your TIFF 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 HEIC as the output
HEIC is already selected. The quality slider starts at a default that suits the format (JPG 90%, WebP 80%, AVIF 60%, HEIC 80%); lower it if you want an even smaller file.
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
- HEIC is a lossy format: lower quality means a smaller file but less fine detail
- The lossless source is recompressed at the quality you choose, so pixel values are no longer identical
Not carried over
- EXIF, location and camera data: left out of the output for privacy
- Pages after the first in a multi-page TIFF: only the first page is converted
When to use it
Shrink a scanned photo archive
Old prints scanned to TIFF can take tens of megabytes each. As HEIC they fit easily on an iPhone or in cloud storage.
Bring TIFF images into Apple Photos
Converted HEIC files sit in your photo library like any other iPhone photo and are easy to share between Apple devices.
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 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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 16-bit TIFF kept at 16 bits?
No. The image is converted with 8 bits per channel, which is plenty for viewing and sharing but less headroom for heavy editing.
What happens to a multi-page TIFF?
Only the first page is converted. To keep every page, convert the TIFF to PDF instead.
Should I delete my TIFF originals after converting?
Keep them if they are your master copies. HEIC is lossy, so it is best used as a compact viewing copy rather than a replacement for archival files.
Is converting TIFF to HEIC 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.
