How to use Convert TIFF to GIF

  1. 1. Upload the TIFF file. Drop in a .tiff or .tif file. Its pixel data decodes in the browser and is prepared for encoding into the GIF format.
  2. 2. The tool converts it automatically. There is nothing to configure. The image is packed into a GIF, which uses a limited color palette but is far more widely supported for web use than TIFF.
  3. 3. Download the GIF file. Save the resulting .gif from the output panel, ready for sharing on the web or in messaging apps that do not display TIFF files.

When to use Convert TIFF to GIF

Convert TIFF to GIF turns a TIFF image into a GIF that browsers and messaging apps can actually display. Most browsers cannot render TIFF at all, so converting it makes an otherwise print-oriented file usable on the web.

  • Sharing a scanned page online. A scanned document saved as TIFF needs to be posted in a forum or chat, but most browsers cannot display TIFF directly, so converting it to GIF makes it viewable.
  • Publishing an archival image on a website. A historical photo stored in an archive as TIFF needs to appear on a public-facing web page, which requires converting it to a browser-friendly format like GIF first.
  • Attaching an image to a web form. A web form's upload field expects common web image formats, and a TIFF file exported from a scanner needs converting to GIF before it will be accepted.

Examples
