Convert TIFF to AVIF — From Archival to Web-Ready

TIFF files are excellent for archival, print production, and professional photography, but their uncompressed or losslessly compressed format makes them far too large for web delivery. AVIF offers the best compression available for still images, turning multi-megabyte TIFFs into compact web-ready files without visible quality loss.

Modern format with excellent compression. Limited browser support.

Apple's format. Excellent quality at small sizes.

Lossless format. Large files, ideal for print/archival.

256 colors max. Best for simple graphics.

Uncompressed bitmap. Very large files.

Vector trace. Best for logos and simple graphics. Not a pixel-perfect conversion.

Best for logos, icons, and line art. Photos produce stylized results.

BMP files are uncompressed and can be very large. Consider TIFF (LZW) or PNG for lossless with smaller file sizes.

Why Convert TIFF to AVIF?

A lossless TIFF can be reduced by 95% or more when converted to AVIF. A 40 MB print-ready TIFF might become a 500 KB AVIF that looks identical on screen. If you need to share professional images online, embed them in presentations, or use them on websites, AVIF makes your TIFFs practical for digital delivery.

How to Convert TIFF to AVIF

1

Upload your TIFF file by dragging it into the converter or clicking to browse. Files up to 50 MB are supported.

2

KoalaPic decodes the TIFF (including multi-layer and CMYK images) and encodes to AVIF with adjustable quality.

3

Download your web-optimized AVIF file. Both files are automatically deleted after 1 hour.

Quality Note

TIFF is lossless and AVIF is lossy, so this conversion introduces compression artifacts. At quality 80+, the visual difference is imperceptible for photographic content. File size reduction is dramatic — typically 95-99% smaller than the original TIFF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically 95-99% smaller. A 40 MB uncompressed TIFF might become a 500 KB AVIF with no visible quality difference. The exact ratio depends on image content.

Yes. AVIF supports full alpha channel transparency, so transparent TIFFs convert cleanly to transparent AVIFs.

Yes, if you need lossless archival copies or plan to print. AVIF is lossy, so it’s best used for web delivery and sharing while keeping TIFFs as your master files.

AVIF uses AV1 intra-frame compression, which evaluates far more encoding options than JPG, and TIFF sources are frequently very large — a 100 MB scan or 45 MP capture gives that search a lot of pixels to work through.
