Convert TIFF to AVIF

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile, high-quality image format commonly used in professional photography, publishing, and graphic design. It supports lossless compression, preserving image quality while maintaining layers, transparency, and multiple pages. TIFF files can handle both RGB and CMYK color spaces, making them ideal for print production. While larger in size than JPEGs, TIFFs excel at storing detailed images without degradation.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format that offers superior compression and quality compared to JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, AVIF supports both lossy and lossless compression, HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency. Its efficient encoding reduces file sizes while maintaining excellent image quality, making it ideal for web content and digital media storage.

AVIF output is useful when you want small files, for example on a website, and the people or software receiving them support AVIF. It can be smaller than JPG at similar visual quality, but results vary by image and quality setting. Support is less universal than JPG, so check compatibility before sending AVIF files.

.AVIF image format fully supports transparency through an alpha channel, similar to PNG files. The format handles both binary (fully transparent or opaque) and variable transparency levels (partial opacity). When compressing images with transparency, AVIF maintains high quality while achieving better compression ratios compared to PNG and WebP formats. This makes AVIF an excellent choice for web graphics requiring transparency, such as logos, icons, and overlays.

You may lose some detail. Framebird decodes the TIFF pixels and encodes a new AVIF file at a default quality of 90, and this AVIF output can lose detail. Even quality 100 does not guarantee an identical image. Source metadata, such as camera or location data, is not copied. Check the result at the quality you need, and keep your original TIFF file as a backup.
