Convert images between PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, and SVG formats
What is this?
Image Converter is a free, browser-based tool that converts image files between popular formats — PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, and GIF. SVG files can also be rasterised to any of those formats. No software to install and no sign-up required.
How to use
- Upload: Click the file picker and select your image (up to 3 MB).
- Choose formats: Select the source format and your desired output format, then adjust quality if needed.
- Convert & download: Click Run. A preview appears immediately and you can download the converted file.
FAQ
- What is the maximum file size?
- 3 MB. This is set by the Vercel free tier request body limit. For larger images, clone the repo and run locally — there is no size cap when self-hosted.
- Does conversion affect image quality?
- Lossless formats (PNG, TIFF) preserve every pixel. Lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF) use the quality slider — 80 is a good default that balances file size and visual fidelity.
- Why convert to WebP or AVIF?
- WebP is 25–35% smaller than JPEG/PNG at equivalent quality and is supported by all modern browsers. AVIF is 50% smaller still but takes longer to encode. Both are great for web delivery.
Why convert TIFF to AVIF?
AVIF files are typically 50–80% smaller than TIFF, making them faster to transfer and cheaper to store. Converting from TIFF (lossless) to AVIF (lossy) is a common way to reduce file size when pixel-perfect quality is not needed.
- –Web optimisation — replace TIFF assets on your website with AVIF to improve page load speed and Core Web Vitals scores.
- –Batch conversion of TIFF files in a CI pipeline using the REST API: POST /api/image-converter.
- –Quick one-off conversion without installing software — everything runs in your browser.
About TIFF and AVIF
TIFF is a lossless format used in professional photography and publishing. Files are large but preserve every detail.
AVIF is based on the AV1 video codec and achieves up to 50% better compression than JPEG. It is supported by Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Quality note: TIFF is lossless; AVIF is lossy. The conversion is irreversible — once you save as AVIF, the original pixel data cannot be recovered. For archival purposes, keep a copy of the original TIFF.
How to convert TIFF to AVIF

Frequently asked questions
- Is it safe to convert TIFF to AVIF in the browser?
- Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your images are not uploaded to any server. No data leaves your device.
- Does converting TIFF to AVIF reduce quality?
- Converting to AVIF uses lossy compression, so some quality reduction is possible. The tool uses high-quality settings by default. For archival use, keep the original TIFF file.
- Can I convert multiple files at once?
- The web UI supports multiple files at once — drag and drop a batch of TIFF images and download them all as AVIF. The REST API also accepts individual files for automated batch workflows.
- How do I convert TIFF to AVIF without software?
- Use this tool — no installation required. Drag your TIFF file onto the converter, select AVIF as the output format, and click Convert. The result downloads automatically.
