Drop TIFF (TIF) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.
Save the GIF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The TIFF to GIF converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your images are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
TIFF files are large and do not display in most browsers or email clients. GIF plays and loops automatically in every browser, chat app and email client. TIFF is at home in scans, print production and archiving; GIF is the usual choice for short looping clips and reactions.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.
Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted.
TIFF is the workhorse of scanning, publishing and archiving. It keeps full quality, can hold several pages and carries rich metadata, but files are large and browsers other than Safari will not display it.

TIFF converterGIF is a 1987 format that survives because it loops silently everywhere. Each frame can use at most 256 colours, so photos and video look grainy and files are far larger than an equivalent MP4.

No. The TIFF to GIF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Yes, for photos: GIF holds at most 256 colours, so the picture is reduced to a 256-colour palette and smooth gradients can show bands. Graphics that already use few colours come through unchanged.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the TIFF file, press Convert and save the GIF. There is nothing to install.
Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
