About the output format

When TIFF is the right output

TIFF is the archival / print-production format — lossless, multi-layer, supports CMYK for print, embedded ICC colour profiles. Scanned documents (some banks and legal archives still specify TIFF), print shops handling high-DPI artwork, and medical imaging (DICOM often wraps TIFF) are the real use cases. File sizes are large; TIFF is not appropriate for anything shown on-screen or shared via web.

ARW to TIFF FAQ

Quick answers about compatibility, quality, metadata handling, and the most common reasons to convert ARW files to TIFF.

How do I convert ARW to TIFF online?

Upload your Sony ARW file and click Convert. The RAW image is processed and exported as a lossless TIFF. Download your professional-grade file instantly.

When should I use TIFF instead of JPG for ARW conversion?

Use TIFF when you need a lossless, print-ready file for professional workflows — photo labs, magazine publishing, or archiving. TIFF files are larger than JPG but preserve every detail. For web or sharing, JPG is more practical.

What programs can open TIFF files?

TIFF is supported by Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP, Affinity Photo, most Windows and macOS image viewers, and professional print software. It's the standard format for high-resolution commercial printing.

What is the file size difference between ARW and TIFF?

ARW files are typically 20–50 MB. Lossless TIFF exports can be 60–200 MB depending on camera resolution. For a 61 MP Sony A7R camera, a 16-bit TIFF can reach 350 MB.

Is ARW to TIFF conversion free?

Yes, completely free with no watermarks. The free plan supports files up to 50 MB — sufficient for most ARW files. Upgrade to Plus or Pro for larger high-resolution files.
