Examples

1. Web Optimization for Graphics

Web Designer

Background

A designer has a high-resolution TIFF file intended for a website banner that needs to be converted to a lightweight GIF.

Problem

The original file is too large and contains too many colors for efficient web loading.

How to use

Upload the TIFF, set the color count to 128, and enable dithering to maintain visual quality.

colors: 128, dithering: true, transparency: true

Outcome

A smaller, web-optimized GIF that retains visual fidelity while loading significantly faster.

2. Preserving Transparency for Icons

UI Developer

Background

A developer needs to convert a transparent TIFF icon into a GIF for a specific UI component.

Problem

Standard conversion often loses transparency, resulting in an ugly background box around the icon.

How to use

Upload the TIFF and ensure the 'Preserve Transparency' checkbox is selected.

FAQ

Is there a file size limit for TIFF uploads?

Yes, the tool supports individual TIFF files up to 100MB.

Does this tool support multi-page TIFF files?

This tool is designed for standard image conversion; it will typically process the primary frame of the TIFF file.

What does the dithering option do?

Dithering uses the Floyd-Steinberg algorithm to create the illusion of color depth in images with limited palettes, resulting in smoother gradients.

Can I keep my original image metadata?

Yes, you can enable the 'Keep Metadata' option to preserve EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data during the conversion.

Is my data secure?

All processing happens locally or via secure temporary sessions; your files are not stored permanently on our servers.

transparency: true, keepMetadata: false
