About AVIF and TIFF
AVIF .avif
A modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It compresses harder than JPEG or WebP at the same visual quality, and handles wide colour and high dynamic range.
Good for
- The smallest files of any format here at a given quality
- Transparency, animation, wide colour gamut and HDR
- Holds up better than JPEG at very low bitrates
Trade-offs
- Support is newest — older browsers and many desktop apps cannot open it
- Encoding is slow compared with JPEG
- Fine detail can smooth over at aggressive settings
image/avif
TIFF .tiff
A flexible container used wherever image fidelity matters more than file size — scanning, publishing and archives. A single TIFF can hold multiple pages.
Good for
- Lossless storage suitable for archival masters
- Multi-page, which suits scanned documents
- Standard in print, publishing and document capture
Trade-offs
- Very large files
- Poor support in browsers — effectively unusable on the web
- So flexible that not every reader supports every variant

What changes when you convert AVIF to TIFF
Only the first frame survives
Most AVIF files are still images and convert straightforwardly. AVIF can also hold an animation, though, and TIFF cannot: if yours is animated, what you get back is its first frame and nothing else. Convert to a video format, or to another animating image format, if the motion matters.
Camera data is removed by default
A AVIF straight from a phone or camera carries EXIF metadata — model, settings, timestamp and, quite often, the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. The converted TIFF is written without it, so a file you are about to share does not quietly carry your location. The orientation flag is read and applied to the pixels first, so the image will not come out sideways once the tag holding it is gone. If you need the metadata kept, there is a setting for it.
How the TIFF is written
Our default is quality 90 with LZW compression, which every print and scanning tool reads. The quality control on the converter moves this if you need to — the default aims to be indistinguishable from the source at a sensible file size, rather than to win a compression benchmark.

Where your transparent background went
Transparency is the property most often lost silently in a conversion — the file looks perfect until it lands on a coloured background and grows a white rectangle.

The data hiding in your photos, and what conversion does to it
Every photo from a phone carries a record of the camera, the settings, the time and often the exact place it was taken. Here is what is in there, how it leaks, and what happens to it when you convert the file.
