How do I convert a TIFF file to AI using LetsConvert?

Upload your TIFF file via the upload button or drag-and-drop the file onto the page. Select 'AI' as the target format. For advanced control, enable the 'advanced' option to adjust edge threshold and path complexity for vector tracing. Click 'Convert', then download the resulting .AI file. You can open it directly in Adobe Illustrator and edit the vector paths.

Why should I convert from TIFF to AI?

TIFF is a raster format that stores pixel-based data, ideal for high-quality scans and print graphics. AI is Adobe Illustrator's vector format, which represents shapes as mathematical paths. Converting TIFF to AI lets you edit the image as vectors, scale it infinitely without quality loss, and incorporate it into logos, illustrations, or print designs. Vector files are also often smaller in file size for graphics with simple shapes.

What happens to layers, transparency, and color profiles when converting TIFF to AI?

Our conversion traces the TIFF's raster data into vector paths. Transparency is preserved by mapping alpha channels to clipping masks. Color profiles (RGB/CMYK) are retained and embedded in the AI file. However, layers are flattened during vectorization, resulting in a single layer with grouped paths. Since vectors are resolution-independent, the original DPI becomes irrelevant after conversion. Complex gradients may be approximated with gradient meshes.
