How do I convert a TIFF file to GIF?

Upload your TIFF file, select GIF as the output format, and click Convert. After processing, download the GIF. For multi-page TIFFs, you can choose to convert each page into a separate GIF or combine them into an animated GIF.

Why should I convert TIFF to GIF?

TIFF files are large and often used for printing or archiving. GIF compresses images losslessly and supports animation, making it ideal for web use, logos, and simple graphics. However, because GIF supports only 256 colors, it's best for images with flat colors rather than photos.

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

All layers are flattened. Transparency is preserved as fully transparent or fully opaque, but partial transparency is lost because GIF uses a 1-bit transparency mask. Color profiles like CMYK are discarded, and colors are reduced to an indexed RGB palette of 256 colors. DPI metadata is removed; only pixel dimensions are retained.
