HEIF File

File extension .HEIF
CategoryImage File
DescriptionHEIF, which stands for High Efficiency Image Format, is a modern image format that offers several advantages over traditional formats such as JPEG. HEIF images are smaller in size while retaining high image quality, making them ideal for use on websites and mobile devices. Additionally, HEIF supports more advanced features such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 10-bit color depth, allowing for more vibrant and lifelike images.

One of the key benefits of HEIF is its ability to store multiple images and even video within a single file. This is achieved through the use of a container format that can hold both images and metadata such as camera settings and GPS data. This makes it easier to manage and share collections of photos and videos.

Another advantage of HEIF is its support for advanced compression techniques such as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), which is used to compress video in 4K and higher resolutions. This means that HEIF can store high-quality video at a smaller file size than traditional formats.

Despite its many advantages, HEIF is not yet widely adopted by all devices and software. However, with the growing popularity of mobile devices and the need for smaller image and video files, it is likely that HEIF will become more prevalent in the future. As such, it is worth considering using HEIF for your images and videos to future-proof your content and take advantage of its many benefits.

TIFF File

File extension .TIFF, .TIF
CategoryImage File
DescriptionThe TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely-used file format for storing digital images, developed by Aldus Corporation (now owned by Adobe Systems). It is a versatile format that supports a wide range of color depths, resolutions, and image types, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications.

TIFF files can contain multiple images, each with their own characteristics such as resolution, compression, and color depth. They can also be uncompressed or compressed using a variety of methods, such as LZW, ZIP, and JPEG compression. Additionally, TIFF files can store metadata such as keywords, descriptions, and copyright information.

One of the key benefits of the TIFF format is its support for high-quality, lossless image compression. This makes it a popular choice for archiving and sharing images, especially in fields such as graphic design, printing, and photography. TIFF files can also support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for use in web graphics and other applications where transparency is important.

TIFF files can be opened and edited using a wide variety of software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Microsoft Paint. They are also supported by many operating systems and web browsers.

Overall, the TIFF format is a robust and versatile format for storing digital images. Its ability to support multiple images, high-quality compression, and metadata make it a popular choice for a variety of applications, especially those requiring high-quality images.

Our records management system requires TIFF for all photographic evidence and investigators now submit HEIF images from newer smartphones. The converter integrated cleanly into the ingest script and the TIFF files pass the system's format validator every time.

HEIF to TIFF — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What is a .heif file?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is a still-image container standardised by MPEG in 2015 (ISO/IEC 23008-12). It wraps HEVC-compressed image data and supports 10-bit colour, HDR, transparency, and image sequences. Apple writes HEIC (the same format) on iPhones since iOS 11.

Why convert HEIF to TIFF?

TIFF is the format prepress houses, museums, libraries, and high-end print shops use for long-term storage. It is lossless, holds rich metadata, supports 16-bit colour, and is universally readable in professional imaging tools.

Does the converter use 16-bit TIFF?

Yes when the source HEIF carries 10-bit colour or HDR. The converter promotes the 10-bit HEIF data into a 16-bit TIFF so wide-gamut and HDR content survives without quantisation. Standard-depth HEIF becomes 8-bit TIFF.

What compression does the TIFF use?

The converter writes LZW-compressed TIFF by default. LZW is lossless and reduces file size while remaining universally readable in Photoshop, InDesign, Capture One, and other professional tools.

Will EXIF and ICC metadata transfer?

Yes. The converter copies EXIF tags (camera, lens, exposure, timestamps) and embeds the ICC colour profile from the HEIF so colour management remains correct.

What is the file size limit?

The online converter accepts HEIF files up to 50 MB. For larger images or batch jobs, use the desktop Total Image Converter, which has no size limit.

Can I convert several HEIF files at once?

The online tool processes one file per upload. The desktop version converts entire folders in a single run and supports command-line automation through .bat scripts.
 

 

Convert HEIF to TIFF — Modern Photos as 16-Bit Archival Files

HEIF is the modern photo container Apple, smartphone makers, and high-end cameras adopted — small files, deep colour, but unsupported by every prepress, museum, and archival workflow. Converting HEIF to 16-bit TIFF preserves the full colour depth and metadata in the format the imaging industry already standardised on. Drop your .heif file above.

What Is HEIF?

HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) is the still-image container MPEG defined in 2015 as part of ISO/IEC 23008-12. HEIF wraps HEVC-encoded image data (the same codec as H.265 video) and supports 10-bit colour, HDR, alpha transparency, and image sequences. Apple uses HEIF for iPhone photos as .heic; many mirrorless cameras and Android devices also write .heif. Prepress and archival tools rarely accept it.

What Is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the raster image format Aldus and Microsoft standardised in 1986, now controlled by Adobe. TIFF supports lossless compression (LZW, ZIP), 16-bit colour per channel, CMYK, ICC profiles, multi-page, and rich metadata. Prepress, museums, libraries, scientific imaging, and medical archives all standardise on TIFF.
