Convert TIFF to SVG — Raster Archive to Vector

TIFF is commonly used for archival and scanned images. Converting to SVG is particularly valuable for scanned logos, letterheads, and graphics that need to be used digitally at various sizes. The lossless quality of TIFF provides clean input for the tracer, producing high-quality vector output.

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.

Why Convert TIFF to SVG?

Scanned logos and graphics stored as TIFF can be vectorized to SVG for scalable, resolution-independent use in web design, print production, and design tools. TIFF’s lossless quality means no compression artifacts to interfere with the trace, producing cleaner vectors than tracing from lossy formats like JPG.

How to Convert TIFF to SVG

1

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

2

KoalaPic reads the TIFF pixel data and traces it to vector paths using automated edge detection.

3

Download the SVG file. Both files are deleted after 1 hour.

Quality Note

TIFF’s lossless quality makes it an excellent source for vectorization. Scanned logos with high contrast trace very well. Complex photographs produce artistic interpretations with many paths. Only the first page/layer of multi-page TIFFs is traced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, excellent. TIFF’s lossless storage preserves the clean edges that the tracer needs. High-contrast scanned logos trace very well to clean SVG vectors.

Only the first page or layer is traced. Split a multi-page TIFF before converting if you need each page as its own SVG — scanning and fax workflows commonly produce these, so it is worth checking the page count first.

For simple graphics, usually much smaller. A 40 MB TIFF of a simple logo might produce a 10 KB SVG. Complex images produce large SVGs that can exceed the TIFF size.

Yes. Transparent areas are treated as background and are not traced into shapes, which is usually what you want — a logo on a transparent TIFF traces cleanly without a surrounding rectangle. Flattened white backgrounds may trace as an extra shape.
