02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • The GIF's transparency and colors are read as they are
  • Saved with lossless LZW compression, so quality is kept and the file is smaller than an uncompressed TIFF
  • Transparency is kept

Good to know

  • For an animated GIF only the first frame is used.
  • TIFF files are large, and web browsers cannot display them. It is meant for print, scanning and archives.
  • The result is a single-page TIFF.

GIF vs TIFF

GIF

A GIF file stores simple images or short looping animations using a very limited color palette (256 colors). It's the classic format for memes, reaction animations, and short looped clips.

Used in: Memes & reactions · Simple animations · Messaging apps

TIFF

A TIFF file stores images at maximum quality with little to no compression loss, often at very large file sizes. It's the standard in professional photography, print production, and scanning workflows where quality matters more than file size.
