HEIC is great for everyday iPhone photo storage thanks to its efficient HEVC-based compression, but professional printing, scanning, and publishing workflows have long standardized on TIFF instead, valuing its support for lossless storage and high color depth. If you've taken a photo on an iPhone that needs to go into a print or prepress pipeline, converting from HEIC to TIFF gets it into the format those systems expect.
HEIC's 10-bit color depth can be preserved going into TIFF, which supports high bit depths natively, making this a reasonable path if you want to retain more of the original color precision than converting to an 8-bit format like standard JPG would allow.
- 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 HEIC file.
- Drag your HEIC file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to HEIC and the "To" format to TIFF.
- Click Convert. TIFF files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
- 100% offline — your photos are never sent to any server
- Bulk conversion of entire iPhone photo libraries in one pass
- Produces TIFF files compatible with professional print and prepress workflows
- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
- Option to delete original HEIC files automatically once converted
- No recurring subscription or hidden upload limits
Will my photo's color depth be preserved converting to TIFF?
TIFF supports high bit depths, so HEIC's 10-bit color information can generally be preserved better than converting to a standard 8-bit format.
Why do print shops want TIFF instead of HEIC?
TIFF has long been the established standard in publishing and prepress workflows, supporting lossless storage and high color depth, while HEIC support in professional print software remains limited.
Can I batch-convert an entire photo shoot from HEIC to TIFF?
Yes, Batch Mode handles entire folders, including nested sub-folders, in a single conversion run.
