Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert TIFF to GIF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) uses lossless (supports layers) encoding and is best for professional photography, print publishing, and document scanning with high color depth. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses lossy (limited to 256 colors) encoding and excels at simple animations, memes, and images on platforms that support animated GIFs natively. Converting between them lets you take advantage of each format's strengths — for example, using a compressed format for sharing and a lossless format for editing. All conversion happens locally in your browser with no file size limits.

How is my TIFF encoded as a GIF?

Your still image encodes to a single-frame GIF locally via the bundled gif.js worker (2 workers, quality 10, workerScript /gif.worker.js) using the encodeGif path in ImageCatchAllConverter. TIFF inputs may not decode in browsers, so verify the source opens first.

Does TIFF to GIF make animated GIFs?

No — output is a single still frame, not an animation. Use the video-to-gif tool to cover animation.

What happens to TIFF transparency?

Transparency flattens to white — no transparent option is passed to the encoder, so see-through areas become white in the GIF.

Do my TIFF files upload anywhere?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded, so downloads on this local tool are unlimited.
