AVIF can store images losslessly, but professional printing, scanning, and publishing workflows have long standardized on TIFF instead, since most prepress and print software simply doesn't have AVIF support built in. If a graphic or photo saved as AVIF needs to enter a print pipeline, converting to TIFF gets it into the format those systems actually expect, with TIFF's support for high bit depths helping preserve AVIF's 12-bit color precision where the source file actually used it.
This conversion is less about quality improvement and more about meeting a format requirement, since both AVIF and TIFF can store images losslessly — TIFF is simply the long-established standard print software is built around.
- Install Turbo Batch Image Converter Pro on your Windows PC.
- Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single AVIF file.
- Drag your AVIF file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to AVIF and the "To" format to TIFF.
- Click Convert. TIFF files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
- 100% offline — your images are never uploaded anywhere
- Bulk conversion of entire folders, including sub-folders, in one click
- Produces TIFF files compatible with professional print and prepress workflows
- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
- Option to delete original AVIF files automatically after conversion
- No recurring subscription or hidden upload limits
Does converting AVIF to TIFF lose any image quality?
Not if the source AVIF was encoded losslessly, since both formats are capable of lossless storage, though TIFF generally results in a larger file size.
Why do print shops want TIFF instead of AVIF?
TIFF has long been the established standard in publishing and prepress workflows, and most professional print software simply doesn't have AVIF support built in yet.
Will my AVIF's color depth be preserved in TIFF?
TIFF supports high bit depths natively, so AVIF's 12-bit color information, where the source actually used it, can generally be preserved.
