TIFF and AVIF explained

TIFF is a flexible container used in print, publishing and archiving. It can hold multiple pages, layers, and a variety of compression schemes including none at all, which is why TIFF files vary enormously in size.

AVIF stores still images using the AV1 video codec's intra-frame compression. It generally achieves the smallest files of any widely supported format, and it handles wide colour gamut and HDR, which JPEG cannot.

Where TIFF files come from
Scanners, professional photography workflows, and print production.
Where AVIF is used
Performance-focused websites and modern image pipelines.

TIFF vs AVIF

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

AVIF is stronger at
The best compression of any broadly supported image format. Handles HDR and wide colour gamut. Supports transparency and animation.

Why convert TIFF to AVIF?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of TIFF: anything involving the web or casual sharing. AVIF is the better fit when you control the audience (a modern website) and file size is the priority.

TIFF limitations that prompt the switch
No browser support at all. Large files. The format's flexibility means some TIFFs will not open in some readers.
What you give up
Encoding is slow compared with JPEG or WebP. Desktop application support is still thin.

Does converting TIFF to AVIF reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
