HEIC vs TIFF Format Comparison
Aspect | HEIC (Source Format) | TIFF (Target Format) |
---|---|---|
Format Overview |
HEIC
High Efficiency Image File Format
Modern container using HEVC compression; supports HDR, wide color gamut, and embedded metadata. Raw |
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format
Versatile raster format supporting multiple compressions, high bit depths, and extensive metadata. Standard |
Compression | Lossy HEVC-based; highly efficient for reducing file size without significant quality loss. |
Options for lossless (LZW, ZIP) and lossy (JPEG) compression; flexible but larger files. |
Color Depth | Up to 16 bits per channel; supports HDR imaging and wide gamut. |
8, 16, or 32 bits per channel; suitable for high‑dynamic‑range and scientific uses. |
File Size | Compact due to HEVC; significantly smaller than TIFF for same visual fidelity. |
Typically large, especially at high bit depths or lossless settings. |

Why Convert HEIC to TIFF?
While HEIC excels at efficient storage and modern features like HDR, it’s not universally supported in all workflows. Converting to TIFF gives you a highly flexible, broadly compatible format that preserves full image fidelity.
TIFF’s support for true lossless compression, multi-page images, and extensive metadata makes it ideal for professional printing, archival, and scientific analysis. You can choose compression modes to balance file size and fidelity as needed.
If you need guaranteed compatibility with desktop publishing, CAD, GIS, or enterprise imaging systems—where every detail and metadata tag matters—converting HEIC to TIFF ensures seamless integration without sacrificing quality.
