Free Online HEIC to TIFF Converter

Convert iPhone HEIC photos to lossless TIFF for printing and professional editing.

1

Upload HEIC

Select HEIC/HEIF images from your iOS device or computer. Up to 50MB per file.

2

Process

Our engine decodes the HEIC and recompresses it into TIFF (LZW/Deflate).

3

Download TIFF

Save your high-fidelity, print-ready TIFF files instantly.

Why TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is preferred by photographers and publishers because it is uncompressed or uses lossless compression. It preserves maximum detail for printing.

Studio Quality

Features for Professionals

Designed for workflows where quality cannot be compromised.

Lossless Compression

Choose LZW or Deflate compression to save space without losing a single pixel of detail.

Print Ready

TIFF is standard for layout apps like InDesign. Convert your phone snaps for your next brochure or poster.

Color Fidelity

We support 16-bit color depth and preserve ICC profiles, ensuring your colors stay accurate.

Cloud Processing

Don't rely on your browser's limited memory. We process the heavy TIFF conversion on our powerful servers.

Trusted by Pros

See why professionals use our tool for their critical work.

"Clients send me HEIC files all the time. This tool is a lifesaver for converting them to TIFF for our offset printers."

Engineering Philosophy

From Mobile
To Professional Print.

Converting HEIC to TIFF is often done when moving from consumption (viewing on a phone) to production (printing or archival). We treat this not just as a format change, but as an data integrity mission.

Our backend utilizes LibHeif to extract the raw pixel buffer from your HEIC file at maximum bit-depth, and then streams it into a TIFF container with your chosen compression algorithm (LZW, Deflate, or Raw).

Crucially, we preserve the Color Profile. If your iPhone shot in Display P3, we ensure that wide color gamut is embedded in the TIFF so your prints look adequately saturated and vibrant.

Archival Grade

Print Ready

TIFF is the standard for high-quality printing. We ensure compatibility.

Lossless LZW

Optional LZW compression reduces file size without losing a single pixel.

HEIC vs TIFF: A Guide for Printing

When you take a photo on an iPhone, it is saved as **HEIC**. This is a great format for screens because it compresses the image to save space. However, for **professional printing**, compression is the enemy.

**TIFF** (Tagged Image File Format) is the gold standard for the print industry. It supports **lossless compression**, meaning the file holds 100% of the pixel data captured.

Converting HEIC to TIFF ensures that when you blow up a photo for a large poster or include it in a high-quality magazine, it doesn't look pixelated or show compression artifacts.

Quick Definitions

LZW

Lempel-Ziv-Welch: A universal lossless compression algorithm supported by TIFF.

Artifacts

Visible distortions in an image caused by heavy compression (like in JPG).

CMYK

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (Black). The color model used for printing. TIFF supports this.

Metadata

Information about the image (camera model, date taken) stored inside the file.

Bit Depth

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

DPI

Dots Per Inch. A measure of printing resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy-First Architecture

Your Data Never
Leaves Your Control.

Most converters trade your data for the service. We do the opposite. Our engine is designed on a "Volatile-Memory" principle—once your TIFF is downloaded, the session is cryptographically purged.

2-Hour Auto-Delete

Files are automatically and permanently wiped from our secure servers after 2 hours.

End-to-End Encryption

Using TLS 1.3 and military-grade SSL encryption, your files are protected from the moment they leave your device.
