How to Convert HEIC to TIFF Online?

Convert iPhone photos (HEIC/HEIF) to professional TIFF format. Preserve maximum detail for printing, editing, and archival storage.

Upload HEIC Photos

Select high-quality HEIC files from your device. Drag and drop works instantly. We handle the large files generated by ProRAW.

Lossless Processing

Our studio-grade engine converts your image to TIFF using LZW compression, ensuring zero loss of visual data.

Download TIFF

Get your high-fidelity images ready for printing or Photoshop. Download individually or as a batch ZIP archive.

Pro Tip: Why TIFF?

TIFF is the format of choice for photographers and designers. Unlike JPG, it doesn't compress away details each time you save, making it ideal for images that will be edited or printed professionally.

Engineering Philosophy

Professional Grade.
Archival Integrity.

HEIC is built for consumer efficiency, but TIFF is the standard for professional publishing and archival. Our HEIC to TIFF engine is designed for photographers and publishers who demand zero compromise.

We employ **Deep Bit-Depth Mapping** to translate the 10-bit HEIC HDR data into professionally accessible TIFF formats (using LZW lossless compression). This ensures that every nuance of light and shadow captured by your iPhone's sensor is preserved for printing or post-processing.

With strict **Metadata Preservation**, we carry over EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data, ensuring your copyright and shooting information remains embedded in the final high-fidelity file.

What is HEIC and Why Convert to TIFF?

HEIC is Apple's high-efficiency format, fantastic for storing thousands of photos on your phone. However, when it comes to professional workflows—like printing large posters or detailed photo editing—HEIC can be limiting due to compatibility issues.

**TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)** is the industry standard for handling images where quality is paramount. It supports lossless compression, layers, and high bit depths.

Turning your HEIC files into TIFF with RiseConvert unlocks their full potential for use in professional software like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and at professional print shops, without sacrificing the quality captured by your unparalleled iPhone camera.

The RiseConvert Advantage

We treat your images with the respect they deserve.

Lossless LZW: We use LZW compression for our TIFFs. It reduces file size by about 50% without discarding a single pixel of data.
Metadata Integrity: A professional image is useless without its data. We keep your EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tags intact.
Secure Workflow: Professional work often involves sensitive or copyrighted material. Our ephemeral processing ensures total privacy.

Knowledge Base

HEIC

High Efficiency Image Container. Great for mobile storage, tricky for pro editing.

TIFF

Tagged Image File Format. The gold standard for printing and raster graphics.

LZW Compression

Lempel-Ziv-Welch. A universal lossless data compression algorithm used in TIFFs.

Bit Depth

The number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel.

Troubleshooting Tips

File Size Warning

TIFF files are massive compared to HEIC. A 5MB picture might become 50MB. This is normal for uncompressed quality.

Printing

Always send TIFF files to your printer for the best possible color reproduction and sharpness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert HEIC to TIFF?

Upload your HEIC files using the tool above. Our system will process them and provide you with high-quality TIFF files instantly.

Is TIFF better than JPG?

For quality and editing, yes. TIFF is lossless, meaning it preserves all image detail, whereas JPG compresses and discards some data.

Will the file size be larger?

Yes, significantly. TIFF preserves all data, often resulting in files 10x larger than the original HEIC. This is the tradeoff for maximum quality.

Do you keep the metadata?

Yes, we preserve EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata during conversion so your copyright and technical info stays with the image.

Is it safe?

Absolutely. We use ephemeral servers that delete your files immediately after processing. Your data is never stored.
