## Overview

Easily convert your high-quality TIFF images into the modern, space-efficient HEIF format with our professional-grade conversion tool, offering granular control over compression, bit depth, and metadata preservation.

## Inputs

- **TIFF Image** (file): Select a TIFF image file...
- **Quality** (range): Quality level (1-100, higher = better quality)
- **Lossless Compression** (checkbox): Use lossless compression for perfect quality
- **CPU Effort** (range): CPU effort (0=fastest, 9=slowest/best compression)
- **Chroma Subsampling** (select)
- **Bit Depth** (select)
- **Keep Metadata** (checkbox): Preserve original image metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP)

## When to use

- When you need to reduce the file size of large TIFF images for web or mobile storage without sacrificing visual fidelity.
- When you are migrating your image library to a modern format that supports advanced compression and high-efficiency standards.
- When you require specific bit-depth adjustments or chroma subsampling settings for professional image workflows.

## How it works

- Upload your TIFF file using the file selector.
- Adjust the quality, CPU effort, and bit-depth settings to suit your specific output requirements.
- Select your preferred chroma subsampling and choose whether to retain original image metadata.
- Click the convert button to process your file and download the resulting HEIF image.

## Use cases

- Optimizing professional photography archives for cloud storage by converting bulky TIFF files to high-efficiency HEIF.
- Preparing high-bit-depth images for modern application development that requires the HEIF format.
- Reducing bandwidth usage for image-heavy websites by leveraging HEIF's superior compression capabilities.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between TIFF and HEIF?

TIFF is an uncompressed or losslessly compressed format ideal for printing and archiving, while HEIF is a modern format designed for high-efficiency storage and web use.

### Can I keep my original EXIF data?

Yes, simply check the 'Keep Metadata' box before starting the conversion to preserve your original EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data.

### What does the CPU Effort setting do?

The CPU effort slider (0-9) controls how much processing power is used for compression; higher values result in better compression efficiency but take longer to process.

### Does this tool support 10-bit or 12-bit color depth?

Yes, you can select your desired bit depth from the dropdown menu to match your source file requirements.

### Is there a limit to the file size I can upload?

You can upload TIFF files up to 100MB in size for conversion.
