What Is a HEIC File?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the image format used by Apple devices since iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra. It uses the HEVC (H.265) codec for compression, producing smaller files with high image quality. Despite its efficiency, HEIC isn't compatible with many image editing or publishing platforms.
What Is a TIFF File?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a lossless, high-quality image format widely used in graphic design, desktop publishing, and image archiving. TIFF supports multiple color spaces, layers, and metadata, making it ideal for professional imaging needs.
Why Convert HEIC to TIFF?
HEIC is great for saving space, but it isn't supported by all platforms. Converting HEIC to TIFF provides:
- Universal compatibility with design and publishing software like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, CorelDRAW
- Lossless image preservation for printing, archiving, or professional use
- Rich metadata support useful in photo management or tagging systems
- Wide color depth including CMYK, RGB, and grayscale support
Who Uses HEIC to TIFF Conversion?
- Photographers converting Apple shots to editing-ready formats
- Print shops needing TIFF files for brochures and banners
- Archivists backing up images in stable, long-term formats
- Design agencies importing image layers and color profiles into workflows
- Researchers storing consistent and uncompressed images
How to Use the HEIC to TIFF Converter
- Click the Upload button or drag and drop your HEIC files
- Enter an optional filename prefix to label output files (e.g., "archive_", "projectA_")
- Click Convert

Batch Conversion Support
Upload one or many HEIC files. The tool automatically detects and converts them all, giving you a batch output with organized naming. Whether itÂ’s 1 image or 50, the conversion is seamless and fast.
Comparison: HEIC vs TIFF
| Feature | HEIC | TIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (HEVC) | Lossless |
| File Size | Small | Large |
| Platform Compatibility | Apple ecosystem | Universal |
| Ideal Use | iPhone storage | Editing, printing, archiving |

What Is a File Name Prefix?
A file name prefix is an optional input that lets you add text at the beginning of all converted files. Example: if you enter client2025_, your TIFF files will be named like client2025_1.tiff, client2025_2.tiff, etc. This is perfect for grouping, archiving, or sharing large batches of images.
Upload Limit and File Size Guidelines
You can upload HEIC images up to 100MB each. For large photoshoots, upload up to 50 HEICs in a batch. The resulting TIFF files may be significantly larger depending on resolution and color data, so ensure enough storage space.
