- Limited compatibility – many Windows applications and older devices cannot open HEIC files
- Professional software support lacking – most design and editing tools don’t natively support HEIC
- Web browser incompatibility – HEIC images cannot be displayed in most web browsers
TIFF Format
- Universal compatibility across all operating systems, browsers, and professional software

- Excellent for archival storage with long-term format stability and reliability
Technical Details
Compression Algorithm Conversion
Converts from HEIC’s HEVC-based compression (H.265 video codec adapted for images) to TIFF’s LZW or ZIP lossless compression. This process decodes the HEIC’s advanced inter-frame prediction and transforms it into TIFF’s straightforward pixel-by-pixel storage, ensuring perfect image fidelity.
Color Space Preservation
Maintains original color profiles during conversion, supporting both sRGB and Display P3 wide color gamuts commonly used in HEIC files. Preserves 10-bit and 16-bit color depth information when converting to TIFF format, ensuring professional color accuracy for print and display applications.
Metadata Transfer
Extracts and preserves EXIF metadata from HEIC files including camera settings, GPS coordinates, and timestamps, embedding them into TIFF format using standard metadata schemas. Handles Apple-specific metadata extensions and converts them to compatible TIFF tags for maximum information retention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting HEIC to TIFF reduce image quality?
No, converting HEIC to TIFF maintains or improves image quality since TIFF uses lossless compression. While HEIC files will become larger, you’ll preserve every pixel of the original image data with no compression artifacts or quality loss.
Why are my TIFF files much larger than the original HEIC files?
HEIC uses advanced compression that reduces file sizes by 50% compared to JPEG, while TIFF prioritizes quality over size. The larger TIFF files contain uncompressed or losslessly compressed image data, which is ideal for professional use, editing, and archival storage.
Can I convert Live Photos from HEIC to TIFF format?
Yes, Convertify will extract and convert the main still image from Live Photos to TIFF format. The motion component cannot be preserved in TIFF since it’s a still image format, but you’ll get the highest quality version of the photo portion.
Will EXIF data and photo metadata be preserved during conversion?
Yes, Convertify preserves important metadata including EXIF data, camera settings, GPS coordinates, timestamps, and other technical information when converting from HEIC to TIFF. This ensures you don’t lose valuable photo information during the conversion process.
Can I convert HEIC files taken with burst mode or multiple exposures?
Yes, Convertify handles all types of HEIC files including burst mode photos, HDR images, and portraits with depth information. Each image will be converted to a separate TIFF file while maintaining the highest quality version of each photo.
Do I need internet connection to convert HEIC to TIFF?
No, Convertify works completely offline. Your HEIC files are processed locally on your Windows computer without any internet connection required. This ensures complete privacy and allows you to convert files even when disconnected from the internet.
Can older versions of Windows open the converted TIFF files?
Yes, TIFF is one of the most universally compatible image formats, supported by Windows XP and later, as well as virtually all image viewers, web browsers, and professional software. Converting to TIFF ensures maximum compatibility across different systems and applications.
How many HEIC files can I convert to TIFF at once?
Convertify supports massive batch processing and can handle thousands of HEIC files simultaneously. You can convert entire iPhone photo libraries in one operation, with the exact number limited only by your computer’s available memory and storage space.
