Frequently asked questions

Is this SVG to TIFF converter really free?+

Yes. There's no file limit, no watermark, and no account required. Because the conversion runs in your browser instead of on a server, there's no processing queue to pay for.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?+

No. Orbfile decodes and re-encodes the image locally using ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly, running entirely inside your browser tab. The bytes never leave your device.

Will converting to TIFF lose quality?+

There's a quality slider so you can balance file size against visual quality. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible.

Can I convert more than one file at once?+

Yes — drop as many files as you like and download them individually or as a single ZIP.

Is there a maximum file size?+

There's no fixed upload limit — Orbfile isn't uploading anything. The practical ceiling is your device's own memory, which comfortably handles even large, high-resolution photos.

How do I convert SVG to TIFF?+

Drop your SVG file into the box above — it's automatically converted to TIFF and a download link appears in seconds. No settings are required, though you can adjust quality if the tool offers a slider.

About SVG and TIFF

What is SVG?

SVG is a vector format described in XML — instead of a pixel grid, it stores shapes and paths, so it stays crisp at any size.

What is TIFF?

TIFF is a flexible, high-fidelity format favored in printing, scanning, and professional photography workflows.

The short version: TIFF gives you supports lossless compression and very high bit depths, which helps once you run into SVG's biggest limitation: not suited to photographic detail. It's a natural move when your image is headed toward print production.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your file in

    Drag your image onto the box above, or click it to browse — there's no account to create and no upload to wait on.

  2. 2

    Pick your settings

    The output format is already set for this page — just adjust any extra options shown, if there are any.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Your browser processes everything locally and hands you a download link the moment it's done — nothing was ever sent to a server.

Is it private?

Everything happens locally, inside this browser tab. Your image is read from disk, processed with WebAssembly running on your own device, and handed back to you as a download — it's never transmitted anywhere, so there's nothing to intercept and nothing stored on a server.

Common use cases

  • Print production
  • Scanned documents
  • Preparing images for a website or online store
  • Attaching a photo to an email with a size limit

About SVG files+

SVG is a vector format described in XML — instead of a pixel grid, it stores shapes and paths, so it stays crisp at any size.

Scalable Vector Graphics is, technically speaking, not an image format at all — it's an XML-based markup language that describes shapes, curves, and text mathematically rather than as a grid of pixels. That's what gives it its defining trait: an SVG can be scaled up to billboard size or down to a favicon without a single pixel of quality loss, because it's redrawn from the underlying math at whatever size it's displayed. It's also just a text file, so it can be opened and hand-edited in any code editor, styled with CSS, and even animated — which is why it's become the standard choice for logos, icons, and illustrations on the modern web.

How to open a SVG file

Opens readily in Any modern web browser. For real editing, use Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape (free), Figma.

Since it's an XML text file, you can also open and edit it in any plain text editor.

Good for

  • infinitely scalable with no quality loss
  • tiny file size for simple graphics
  • editable as text/code

Watch out for

  • not suited to photographic detail

About TIFF files+

TIFF is a flexible, high-fidelity format favored in printing, scanning, and professional photography workflows.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was designed to be a container flexible enough for almost any kind of image data — multiple pages, layers, high bit depths, and either lossless compression or none at all. That flexibility is exactly why it became the standard in print production and document scanning, where color accuracy and detail matter more than file size. It's rarely seen on the web, since browsers don't render it natively and its files run large, but it remains the safe choice whenever an image needs to survive a professional print or archival pipeline untouched.

How to open a TIFF file

Opens readily in Windows Photos, macOS Preview. For real editing, use Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Adobe Lightroom.

Most web browsers won't display TIFF directly — convert to JPG or PNG first if you need it to show up on a page.

Good for

  • supports lossless compression and very high bit depths
  • the de facto standard in print and scanning pipelines

Watch out for

  • large files
  • poor support in web browsers
