What happens when you convert TIFF to AVIF?
HDR display encoding
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Encoding mode
AVIF can use lossy or lossless AV1 coding. Chroma subsampling, RGB↔YUV conversion and reduced bit depth can change source values even when the AV1 coding stage is lossless. Quality defaults to 55; adjust it in Advanced options. File size depends on the image and encoder.

Good choice when
- AVIF fits your delivery use: Photo delivery & HDR images.
- You can choose the source image or part needed for delivery.
- You need HDR-capable delivery and can validate its encoding and colour signalling.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
Probably not when
- You require a complete collection, page set or multipart round trip.
- You require guaranteed scene-linear values or HDR appearance.
- 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.
TIFF to AVIF conversion details
- Multiple source images
- One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
- HDR display encoding
- 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
- AVIF can use lossy or lossless AV1 coding. Chroma subsampling, RGB↔YUV conversion and reduced bit depth can change source values even when the AV1 coding stage is lossless. Quality defaults to 55; adjust it in Advanced options. File size depends on the image and encoder.
- 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
- TIFF: Depends on variant → AVIF: Lossy & lossless TIFF: TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. AVIF: AVIF can use lossy or lossless AV1 coding. Chroma subsampling, RGB↔YUV conversion and reduced bit depth can change source values even when the AV1 coding stage is lossless.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Animation
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- Colour depth
- TIFF: Tagged sample types → AVIF: 8 / 10 / 12 bits
- HDR
- AVIF: Optional; colour properties
- Multiple images
- TIFF: Image directories
- Dimensions
- One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
- Metadata
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Common questions
Will every source image be exported?
One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
Will HDR automatically survive in AVIF?
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Which compression mode will AVIF use?
AVIF can use lossy or lossless AV1 coding. Chroma subsampling, RGB↔YUV conversion and reduced bit depth can change source values even when the AV1 coding stage is lossless. Quality defaults to 55; adjust it in Advanced options. File size depends on the image and encoder.
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.
