About the formats
GIF
Graphics Interchange Format
GIF is a veteran image format limited to 256 colours that supports animation. It is still everywhere for short silent loops and simple graphics.
TIFF

TIFF is the lossless image format of printing, scanning and archiving. One file can hold many pages, and scanners and fax systems often produce it.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting GIF to TIFF free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
Are animated images converted too?
Only the first frame is converted to TIFF. To keep the animation, convert to MP4 or WEBM.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
