How to convert SVG to TIFF
- Click Choose files or drop your SVG images into the box above — up to 10 at a time on the free plan.
- Optionally resize if you like; the TIFF is saved losslessly.
- Conversion starts right away. Download each TIFF file, or click Download all to get them as one ZIP.
SVG vs TIFF
| SVG | TIFF | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Vector (no pixels) | Lossy or lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Colors | Vector shapes: no pixels, sharp at any size | Up to 16 or 32 bits per channel, multiple pages |
| File size (photos) | Tiny for icons and logos | Very large |
| Opens on | Every browser and design tool; not accepted by many upload forms and office apps | Photoshop, scanners, print and publishing software; only Safari displays it in a browser |
| Best for | Logos, icons and illustrations that must stay sharp at any size | Scans, printing, publishing and archiving at maximum quality |
About SVG and TIFF
What is SVG?
SVG describes an image with shapes and paths instead of pixels, so it stays perfectly sharp at any size. It is the standard format for logos and icons on the web. Many apps, social networks and upload forms only accept pixel images, so SVGs often need to be rendered to PNG or JPG at a chosen size.
- Infinitely scalable, always sharp
- Tiny files for logos and icons
- Editable as text
- Not accepted by most social networks and upload forms
- Not suitable for photos
What is TIFF?
TIFF is the workhorse of scanning, printing and professional photography. It can hold uncompressed or losslessly compressed pixels at high bit depths, several pages in one file and lots of metadata. That flexibility makes files big, and browsers (except Safari) cannot display TIFF at all.
- Lossless and print-ready
- High bit depth and multiple pages
- Industry standard for scanners and printers
- Very large files
- Cannot be shown on most websites
Why GlideConvert?
- Private by design. Your files are converted on your own device by your browser — they are never uploaded to a server. That keeps them private, avoids upload waits and means there is no queue.
- Fast. Images convert in a fraction of a second; video uses your device’s hardware encoder.
- Free. No sign-up, no watermark. 10 images, 5 audio files or one video at a time — Pro lifts the limits and removes ads.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting SVG to TIFF reduce quality?
TIFF uses lossy compression, but at the default quality of 90% the difference is practically invisible, even though the SVG was already compressed. Move the quality slider down for smaller files, or up to 100% for the best possible result.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent areas are kept as they are.
What size will the TIFF be?
SVG files have no fixed pixel size. By default we render the SVG at its own width and height; choose 2× or 4× scale, or type an exact width, for a larger and sharper TIFF.
Can I convert several SVG images at once?
Yes. The free plan handles 10 images at a time, and you can download everything as a single ZIP. Pro removes the batch limit, converts files in parallel and supports files up to 4 GB.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. GlideConvert runs entirely in your browser: images are processed with the browser’s built-in codecs and WebAssembly, video and audio with hardware-accelerated WebCodecs (or a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg for older formats). Nothing is sent anywhere — you can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows?
Yes. It works in any up-to-date browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox or Samsung Internet — on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. On phones, extremely large images may be scaled down to fit within the browser’s memory limit; you will see a note if that happens.
