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.
Same format? You might want to compress instead.
SSIM-optimized — finds the lowest file size at your chosen visual fidelity.
Need to crop first? Use the Crop tool. Want to adjust or filter? Try the Editor.

Tip: Use PNG or WebP for transparent output. Standalone tool →
Lossless format — files can be large
GIF is limited to 256 colors
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.
Leave empty for all pages. Multi-page PDFs produce a ZIP.

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
Upload your TIFF file by dragging it into the converter or clicking to browse. Files up to 50 MB are supported.
KoalaPic reads the TIFF pixel data and traces it to vector paths using automated edge detection.
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.
