About the GIF to TIFF Converter
This GIF to TIFF converter turns images from GIF into TIFF without installing software or uploading anything. It solves a common problem: GIF is limited to 256 colours and produces surprisingly heavy files. Converting to TIFF gives you a lossless, print-ready TIFF, ideal for scanned documents, print production, archiving and professional photo masters.
The converter decodes your GIF with your browser's own image engine and writes the TIFF with a small open-source TIFF encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: transparency is preserved because both GIF and TIFF support an alpha channel; only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted; TIFF stores the pixels without further quality loss; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the GIF to TIFF Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your GIF images onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting; leave it empty to keep the original size.
- Press "Convert to TIFF". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each TIFF file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Photoshop or GIMP to check it; your original GIF is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- TIFF output is uncompressed for maximum compatibility, so expect large files that print and archive perfectly.
- Animated GIF files are converted from their first frame; use our video tools if you need every frame.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the TIFF to a website or government portal.

What is the difference between GIF and TIFF?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a palette image and animation format best suited to short animations, memes, simple graphics and email-friendly moving images. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality raster image best suited to scanned documents, print production, archiving and professional photo masters.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.
How do I convert GIF to TIFF without losing quality?
TIFF is lossless, so the converter keeps every pixel of your GIF; just leave the maximum width empty to keep the original size.
Can I set the DPI of the TIFF?
Convert first, then use our Change Image DPI tool to set 200, 300 or 600 DPI without re-compressing the image.

What is a GIF file?
GIF dates back to 1987 and is limited to a palette of 256 colours per frame. That makes it poor for photos but perfect for simple animations, reaction clips and memes, which is why GIF is still everywhere on chat apps and social media.
What is a TIFF file?
TIFF was created by Aldus in 1986 for desktop publishing and scanning. It keeps images at full quality and can hold several pages in one file, which is why scanners, printers, archives and fax systems still use it.
