Why no direct HEIC download?

HEIC encoding requires a licensed HEVC encoder. Web browsers cannot produce HEIC files — they can only decode them on supported platforms. This tool provides a lossless PNG download as the best browser-based alternative.

To get a real HEIC file:

  • macOS: Preview → File → Export → HEIC
  • ImageMagick: magick in.tiff out.heic
  • Adobe Photoshop: File → Export As → HEIC

Summary

Upload a TIFF image to preview it in your browser, then download it as a PNG — with clear guidance on converting to HEIC using desktop apps.

How it works

  1. Click "Choose TIFF File" or drag a .tif / .tiff file onto the drop zone.
  2. The UTIF.js library decodes the TIFF data entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
  3. The decoded pixel data is painted onto an HTML5 canvas so you can inspect the image.
  4. Click "Download as PNG" to save a lossless PNG copy of the rendered image.
  5. To obtain a HEIC file, use macOS Preview (File → Export), ImageMagick, or Adobe Photoshop.

Use cases

  • Quickly preview a TIFF from a scanner or camera without installing software.
  • Convert a TIFF to PNG as an intermediate step before desktop HEIC encoding.
  • Verify that a TIFF file is not corrupted before passing it to another workflow.
  • Share a web-compatible copy (PNG) of a TIFF with colleagues who lack TIFF viewers.
  • Check image dimensions and color data of a multi-layer TIFF before processing.
  • Batch-preview single-page TIFFs from a document management system.
