What is HEIC?
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads use to save photos. Based on the HEVC video codec, it stores a photo at about half the size of a JPG with similar quality, but Windows, many websites, older Android phones and a lot of software cannot open it without an extra plugin.
What is TIFF?
TIFF is a high-fidelity image format used in printing, publishing, scanning and photo archiving. It keeps every detail, supports layers and high bit depths, and is usually saved without lossy compression — so files are large and browsers do not display it.
Tips for converting HEIC to TIFF
- Transparent backgrounds are only kept in formats that support them (PNG, WebP, AVIF); JPG fills them with white.
- For photos, lossy formats keep files small; for logos, screenshots and text, lossless PNG stays sharper.
- Converting an already compressed HEIC does not add detail — start from the highest-quality original you have.
- If the image is for a website, a modern format such as WebP or AVIF usually loads faster than TIFF.
