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
- Click "Choose TIFF File" or drag a .tif / .tiff file onto the drop zone.
- The UTIF.js library decodes the TIFF data entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- The decoded pixel data is painted onto an HTML5 canvas so you can inspect the image.
- Click "Download as PNG" to save a lossless PNG copy of the rendered image.
- 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.
