Overview

Easily convert your high-quality TIFF images into the widely compatible GIF format using our browser-based conversion tool, featuring customizable color palettes and advanced dithering options for optimal visual results.

When to use

  • When you need to convert professional TIFF files into web-friendly GIF images.
  • When you want to reduce file size by limiting the color palette of your images.
  • When you need to preserve transparency or apply dithering to improve color transitions in your graphics.

How it works

  1. 1Upload your TIFF file using the file selector.
  2. 2Adjust the color depth, dithering, and transparency settings to suit your requirements.
  3. 3Click the convert button to process your image.
  4. 4Download your newly converted GIF file directly to your device.

Use cases

  • Preparing high-resolution print graphics for web display.
  • Optimizing images for legacy systems that require GIF format.
  • Creating web-ready assets with specific color constraints and transparency.

Compare alternatives

  • Convert multiple image files between different formats like JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF with quality settings and batch processing

  • Convert multiple images to different formats with quality settings and batch processing

  • Convert GIF images to AVIF format with next-generation compression and quality settings

Who it's for

Best for

  • Convert images in the browser.
  • Repeatable jobs with images and the same settings every time.
  • Jobs where the output is a downloadable file.

Not ideal for

  • Fully automated batch jobs — this page is built for interactive use; use the API endpoint for scripts.
  • Files in formats this tool does not accept — it works with .tiff input.

Edge cases & common failures

  • Very large files

    Large files take longer and can hit browser memory limits — try a smaller sample first.

  • Skipping the output check

    Compare the first rows or pages of the output with the input before using it in production.

  • Files from unusual exporters

    Some files use format variants that do not convert cleanly — if the output looks wrong, re-save the file from the app that created it and try again.

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.
