TIFF vs AVIF: what changes when you convert
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was introduced in 1986 by Aldus (now Adobe) and is best known for print production, scanning, and archival masters. AVIF (AV1 Image File Format), created by the Alliance for Open Media (Google, Netflix, Mozilla), is the better choice when you need maximum web compression — typically 50% smaller than jpg.
Why convert? AVIF files are typically much smaller than TIFF — expect a noticeable reduction in file size. TIFF files are huge and browsers refuse to show them, so they need conversion for any web use. Converting to AVIF solves that instantly.
Upload one file or a whole batch — conversion happens over a secure HTTPS connection and finished files are automatically deleted from our servers within minutes. Most desktop image editors and older devices cannot open AVIF yet.
