Rendered composition
Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.

What happens when you convert PSD to TIFF?
HDR to SDR
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Encoding mode
TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.

Good choice when
- TIFF fits your delivery use: Scans & raster interchange.
- You need a rendered delivery copy of the composition.
- You need an SDR delivery copy and can review its tone mapping.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
Probably not when
- You must keep masks, layer effects or editable text.
- You need the original HDR range for relighting or grading.
- You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
- You need a guaranteed output file size or archival pixel equality. Encoder settings do not guarantee either.
PSD to TIFF conversion details
- Rendered composition
- Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.
- HDR to SDR
- HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
- Transparency representation
- The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
- Encoding mode
- TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.
- Sample precision & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Metadata & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Compression
- PSD: Lossless → TIFF: Depends on variant PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback. TIFF: TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Colour depth
- PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel → TIFF: Tagged sample types
- HDR
- PSD: 32-bit workflows
- Layers
- PSD: Layers & masks
- Multiple images
- TIFF: Image directories
- Dimensions
- Rendered image dimensions are retained within the converter limits; this tool does not offer resizing. Orientation handling depends on the source decoder.
- Metadata
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Common questions
Will the editable PSD layers survive?
Uses the saved merged RGB/grayscale image. Layers are not recomposited; 16-bit, CMYK and PSB are not supported.
How will HDR brightness be mapped?
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Which compression mode will TIFF use?
TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. The output uses the implemented still-image encoder; file size depends on the pixels and format.
Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
