Quick answer: To convert GIF to TIFF, add the GIF file to the iHateFiles GIF to TIFF converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. A straight swap between two raster formats, at full resolution.
Should you convert GIF to TIFF?
A safe conversion: GIF and TIFF are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
GIF and TIFF are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.
TIFF holds one frame
An animated GIF becomes a single still TIFF: the first frame, with the rest discarded. If you wanted the movement, convert to a format that keeps it instead.

What usually goes wrong
About the GIF. A ten-second GIF is often larger than the MP4 it came from and looks considerably worse. The 256 colour limit, not the length, is what does the damage.
About the TIFF. Because TIFF can contain many different compressions, a file that one program writes is occasionally one another program cannot read. Converting it to PNG settles the argument.
How to convert GIF to TIFF
- Add your GIF file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to TIFF.
- Press convert and the TIFF file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert GIF to TIFF?
Open this page, add your GIF file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this GIF to TIFF converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to TIFF lose quality?
TIFF is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
