Convert TIFF to GIF

File Extension TIFF
Full Name Aldus Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) Bitmap Image

File with a .TIFF extension contains high quality raster images with colour depth from 1 up to 24 bites, many layers of the image and many pages, stored with lossy or lossless compression.

File Extension GIF
Full Name Graphics Interchange File Format

Files with the .GIF extension contain images saved without loss using a palette of up to 256 indexed colors that have been either predefined or adapted to the specific colors of the image. They support pixel transparency, but only in full form. They can also be used as a recording format for basic animations.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "TIFF") to another (referred to as "GIF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, TIFF file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format TIFF to format GIF becomes essential.

So, how can we perform TIFF to GIF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format TIFF and transforming it into format GIF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of TIFF to GIF converters.
