TIFF to AVIF Converter

Convert TIFF images to AVIF online for free. Use this exact converter when you need better compatibility, different transparency behavior, or a format that fits your next workflow better.

Converting TIFF to AVIF re-encodes the image into the AVIF container while preserving resolution and color information. The trade-off depends on the target format: lossy targets (JPG, WebP) shrink file size; lossless targets (PNG, TIFF) preserve every pixel exactly.

Why Convert TIFF to AVIF

Best-in-Class Compression

AVIF achieves up to 50% smaller files than WebP and 70% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality. It is the most efficient image format currently available for photographic content.

HDR and Wide Color Gamut

AVIF supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depths with HDR metadata, enabling vibrant, true-to-life images on HDR displays. Wide color gamut coverage exceeds sRGB for richer, more accurate colors.

Modern Browser Support

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all support AVIF images. Adoption is accelerating rapidly, and AVIF is becoming the preferred next-generation image format for the modern web.

Film Grain Preservation

AVIF includes a dedicated film grain synthesis tool that preserves the natural texture of photographs at a fraction of the file size. Grainy low-light photos maintain their character after compression.

Transparency and Animation

AVIF supports alpha transparency and animated image sequences, combining the best features of PNG, GIF, and JPG into one format with dramatically better compression efficiency.
