How do I convert TIFF to SVG without losing image quality?
+
Upload your TIFF file, then our converter applies format-aware quality optimization for SVG output. For lossless formats (PNG, TIFF, BMP) we preserve every pixel; for lossy formats (JPG, WebP) you can tune the quality factor before download.
Does TIFF to SVG conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when going to PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or SVG. Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, target a transparency-aware format instead of SVG.
Will my color profile (sRGB / Adobe RGB / CMYK) survive TIFF to SVG?
+
Embedded ICC color profiles are read from the source TIFF and re-attached to the SVG output where the format supports it (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP). Formats without profile support fall back to sRGB.
What about EXIF metadata when converting TIFF to SVG?
+
Camera EXIF (ISO, shutter, lens, GPS) is preserved by default during TIFF → SVG conversion when both formats support metadata. Use the privacy option to strip metadata before download if you want to share images without geolocation.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of TIFF files to SVG at once?
+
Yes — drag multiple TIFF files into the upload zone and we queue them in parallel. Free users get 100MB per file; Premium has no per-file cap and runs more parallel workers, so a 200-image batch typically finishes in under two minutes.
How does TIFF to SVG compare to Photoshop / GIMP for the same task?
+
For straightforward format conversion we run the same libpng / libjpeg-turbo / libwebp / ImageMagick pipelines a desktop editor uses, with the same quality. The difference is that desktop tools open one file at a time; we accept a batch and run them in parallel.
What resolution and dimensions will my SVG file have?
+
Default behaviour is 1:1 — your SVG output has the same pixel dimensions as the source TIFF. Use a separate /resize-image/ step after conversion if you need to downscale or upscale as part of the workflow.
How small can the SVG file get without visible artifacts?
+
For JPG / WebP, quality 75-85 typically gets the file 60-80% smaller than the source TIFF with no visible difference at normal viewing distance. For lossless targets (PNG, TIFF), expect smaller savings — usually 5-30% via better deflate / LZW compression.
Are my TIFF files private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded TIFF files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never read, store, or share the pixel data. The full privacy policy and retention window are documented at /privacy/.
Does the TIFF to SVG converter work for very large images (50MP+)?
+
Yes for free up to 100MB. Premium handles larger inputs (300MB+) and exotic per-pixel depths (16-bit PNG, 32-bit float TIFF). The pipeline streams pixel rows, so memory use scales with the row count, not the total pixel count.
Why is my converted SVG file bigger / smaller than I expected?
+
A TIFF file with strong compression (e.g. heavily lossy JPG) often grows when re-encoded to a lossless SVG (PNG, TIFF), and a high-bitrate lossless TIFF often shrinks dramatically when going to JPG / WebP. The ratio depends on image content (photos compress differently from line art).
Can I use the converted SVG file commercially?
+
Yes. The conversion is a format change — copyright on the image content stays with you (or whoever held it on the source TIFF). We add no watermark, no metadata stamp, and claim no licence over the output.
