Why convert AVIF to TIFF instead of PNG?

TIFF is the format expected by professional print shops, photo labs and archiving systems, with the deep colour and metadata support PNG lacks. It is the safe master format when a file is heading into a print or archive workflow. Handing a print shop a TIFF avoids the format questions that an AVIF would raise.

Will quality improve compared to the AVIF?

No. The TIFF preserves everything already decoded from the AVIF exactly — lossless conversion cannot add detail that was not there, it just stops any further loss during editing.

Why is the TIFF so much larger?

TIFF stores the image with little or no compression to stay lossless, so it is many times bigger than the highly efficient AVIF. That size is the trade-off for archival quality.

Does the TIFF keep the AVIF's transparency?

Yes. TIFF supports an alpha channel, so a transparent AVIF stays transparent, which matters for layered artwork placed over other elements in print design.

What colour depth does TIFF support?

TIFF handles 8-bit and higher colour depths, which makes it a solid master format that professional print and archive workflows expect for grading and adjustments.

What happens if the AVIF is animated?

TIFF is a still format, so only the first frame is kept. Export the animation separately as WebP or a video if you need to preserve the motion. A TIFF is meant as a still master, not a motion container.

Can I convert several AVIF files to TIFF at once?

Yes. Add all the AVIF files you need and each becomes its own lossless TIFF in a single pass, handy when preparing a batch for a print or archive workflow.
