How do I convert a HEIC photo to TIFF?

Add one HEIC or HEIF. The browser decodes it to PNG bytes and writes a TIFF at quality 100. From that decoded PNG the TIFF is lossless. The download uses the tiff extension. Keep the HEIC as the camera original and use the TIFF as the heavier archive or print file. Open the TIFF once to confirm it is the frame you selected.

Is there a daily size gate on this conversion?

This browser tool skips the 12 MB daily gate used on server conversions. You convert one HEIC or HEIF at a time, on this device. The TIFF is written at quality 100 from the decoded PNG and is the heavier file. Keep the camera original beside it. A second photo is a second run after the first download finishes.

Why is the TIFF larger than the HEIC?

TIFF is the archive and print copy, stored at quality 100 after the photo is decoded to PNG bytes. The write from that decoded image is lossless, so the file holds the raster rather than the compact camera encoding. Keep the HEIC if you want the smaller original, and keep the TIFF if a folder or a printer asked for it. The pair belongs together.

Can I convert a batch of HEIC files together?

This variant takes one file and rejects a multi-file selection. Convert the photo you want, download the TIFF, and start the next. That keeps each camera original paired with its own TIFF. Every pass still decodes to PNG bytes and writes quality 100 in the browser. The extension on each download is tiff.

What happens to the original HEIC?

It stays the camera original on your device. The TIFF is a new file, the heavier one, written from the decoded PNG at quality 100. You can decode the HEIC again later if you need another TIFF. Leave the camera file in the roll, and file the TIFF wherever the archive or the print job expects it. Open the new file once before you send it on.

What does lossless from the decoded PNG mean?

The HEIC is decoded to PNG bytes first. The TIFF is then written at quality 100 from those bytes, and that write keeps the decoded image. You are saving the picture the decoder produced, in a TIFF container with a tiff extension. The HEIC remains the camera file. Use the TIFF when the next step asked for TIFF, and check the frame against the original before you archive it.

Save one HEIC or HEIF photo as a TIFF you can archive or hand to a print workflow, and keep the camera file beside it. The conversion runs in the browser. The photo is decoded to PNG bytes, and those bytes are written out as a TIFF at quality 100. From the decoded PNG onward, that TIFF write is lossless, so you are storing the picture the decoder produced rather than squeezing it again. The download uses the tiff extension. One file at a time is the rule on this variant, so a burst of photos is a series of single conversions. TIFF is the heavier file, which is the point when the goal is an archive or a print master rather than a light attachment. The HEIC remains the camera original. Leave it in the roll. The TIFF is the copy you file, send to a lab, or drop into a layout that asked for TIFF. Open the TIFF once and compare it with the HEIC on your screen. You are checking that the right photo came across, at the frame you expected. Because the path decodes first and then writes at quality 100, the TIFF is a faithful container for that decoded image. This browser tool is free of the daily upload gate used on server conversions, so the work you are doing is the decode and the write on this device.

A heavier TIFF beside the camera original

HEIC is a fine camera file and a poor guest in some print and archive folders. This page decodes one HEIC or HEIF to PNG bytes, then writes a TIFF at quality 100. The write from that decoded PNG is lossless, and the download ends in .tiff. You keep the HEIC. It is still the camera original, smaller and still the source if you ever need to decode again. The TIFF is the heavier file you hand onward, the one a shelf or a printer asked for. One photo per run keeps the pair, HEIC and TIFF, easy to match. The conversion stays in the browser, with the daily server gate left off this tool.

How it works

1
Add one HEIC or HEIF
This variant takes a single photo. The camera file stays where it is. A second shot is a second run after the first TIFF downloads.
2
Let the browser write the TIFF
The photo is decoded to PNG bytes, then stored as TIFF at quality 100. From that decoded PNG, the TIFF write is lossless. The extension is tiff.
3
Keep both files
The TIFF is the heavier archive or print copy. The HEIC remains the camera original. Open the TIFF once and confirm it is the frame you added.

Use cases

A print folder that asks for TIFF

Decode the HEIC and download the TIFF at quality 100. Send the TIFF, and leave the camera original in the roll in case the lab asks a question.

An archive copy of a keeper

The TIFF is the heavier file, lossless from the decoded PNG. File it beside the HEIC so the pair stays obvious months from now.

One frame from a burst

Convert the single HEIC you actually want. The variant rejects a multi-file drop, so the TIFF you get matches the one photo you chose.

Problems we solve

Several photos were selected

This TIFF variant takes one HEIC or HEIF. Add the keeper, download its TIFF, then start the next photo. Each pair stays easy to match.

The TIFF is much larger than the HEIC

That is the archive and print file, written at quality 100 from the decoded PNG. Keep it when the heavier copy is what you came for, and keep the HEIC too.

Trust & privacy

Converted in the browser

Decode and TIFF write happen on this device. The daily server size gate stays off this tool, and the HEIC never has to be uploaded for the conversion.

Lossless from the decoded PNG

Quality is 100 on the TIFF write. The download holds the picture the decoder produced, with a tiff extension you can file or send.
