Why convert SVG to TIFF instead of PNG or JPEG?

TIFF supports higher bit depths, multiple color spaces, and embedded metadata which are essential for professional printing, archival, or specialized uses, while PNG and JPEG may lack these features.

Can TIFF files produced from SVG be used for printing?

Yes, TIFF files preserve color fidelity and high resolution making them ideal for professional print and prepress workflows.

Will my SVG animations or scripts work in the TIFF format?

No. Since TIFF is a raster format, interactive features such as animations and scripting from SVG files are lost during conversion.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts SVG files, which are scalable vector graphics, into TIFF format, a flexible raster image widely used for professional imaging, printing, and archiving. It transforms resolution-independent vector artwork into high-quality bitmap images with rich metadata support.

How to Use This Tool?

Upload your SVG file featuring vector shapes, paths, and styling
Choose TIFF as the output format for rasterized high-bit-depth images
Set any desired options such as resolution or compression if available
Click convert to start the file transcoding process
Download the generated TIFF file optimized for professional and archival use

Key Features

Converts SVG vector graphics to TIFF raster images with high resolution and color depth
Supports embedding TIFF-specific metadata and tags not available in SVG
Preserves color fidelity ideal for print and archival usage
Generates TIFF files compatible with professional imaging, scanning, and GIS applications
User-friendly, browser-based conversion process

Examples

A designer converts a company logo from SVG to a high-bit-depth TIFF with embedded color profiles for print production
An illustrator exports vector page artwork as multipage TIFF files for archival storage and editing in raster imaging software

Common Use Cases

Exporting logos or technical diagrams from vector editors into TIFF for print prepress workflows
Converting interactive or web-based SVG assets into fixed raster TIFFs for publishing or scanning systems
Preparing vector artwork for submission to medical imaging or GIS applications requiring TIFF inputs

Tips & Best Practices

Select an appropriate pixel resolution before conversion to ensure TIFF output meets quality needs
Be aware that TIFF files may become large with high bit depth or minimal compression
Review the resulting TIFF to check that complex SVG effects rendered as expected after rasterization
Use TIFF metadata tags to embed essential information for archival or specialized uses
Test the TIFF files in your target software to confirm compatibility with compression and tag features

Limitations

Converting from SVG to TIFF fixes the resolution, so the resulting TIFF image won't scale infinitely without quality loss
High bit depth and minimal compression TIFF files can be very large, impacting storage and transfer
Some advanced SVG features like scripting and complex filters may be flattened or render differently after conversion
TIFF codec, tag, and format variant support varies across tools, which may affect interoperability
TIFF is not optimized for web use since it has no native browser support and slower decoding
