Convert SVG to TIFF Online

Rasterize SVG vector graphics to TIFF format for professional print production and publishing workflows. TIFF is the industry standard for high-quality image interchange, while SVG excels for scalable web graphics. Our converter bridges these worlds, transforming vector artwork into print-ready TIFF files.

This conversion is essential when submitting vector designs to print shops that require TIFF format, or integrating web graphics into professional publishing workflows using Adobe InDesign or similar software.

Why Convert SVG to TIFF?

Professional print workflows often require TIFF format for consistency and predictability. While SVG is resolution-independent, TIFF provides a fixed, high-resolution raster that prints identically across all systems. Print shops may not have SVG rendering capabilities or may require standardized TIFF submissions.

TIFF also supports CMYK color mode used in commercial printing, embedded color profiles, and maintains lossless quality through multiple edits—features essential for print production that SVG handles differently.

Output Quality

Our converter renders SVG at high resolution to ensure sharp output in the resulting TIFF. The vector's perfect scalability is captured at print-quality resolution, preserving crisp edges and smooth curves in the raster output. TIFF's lossless compression maintains this quality through further editing.

The rendering process handles all SVG features including gradients, transparency, filters, and text. Complex visual effects are accurately captured in the TIFF output. For best results, ensure your SVG uses embedded fonts or convert text to paths before conversion.

How the Conversion Works

Converting SVG to TIFF involves rendering the vector graphics to a high-resolution pixel grid (rasterization). The SVG's mathematical descriptions of shapes, colors, and effects are calculated at each pixel position to create the raster image. TIFF then stores these pixels with lossless compression.

The conversion captures SVG's appearance at a specific resolution, typically 300 DPI for print. Unlike SVG, the resulting TIFF cannot be scaled up without quality loss—but it provides the fixed, predictable output that professional print workflows require.

Professional Use Cases

  • Print production — preparing vector logos for commercial printing
  • Publishing workflows — integrating web graphics into layout software
  • Client deliverables — providing fixed-format files to clients
  • Archival — creating standardized raster versions of vectors

Frequently Asked Questions About SVG to TIFF Conversion

Why would I convert SVG to TIFF instead of keeping vector format?

Print shops and publishing workflows often require TIFF format for consistency. While SVG is resolution-independent, TIFF provides a fixed raster that prints identically across all systems. Some print services don't support SVG and require standardized TIFF submissions.

What resolution is used when rasterizing SVG to TIFF?

Our converter renders SVG at high resolution (typically 300 DPI) to ensure sharp output suitable for professional printing. The vector's perfect scalability is captured at print-quality resolution, preserving crisp edges and smooth curves.

Does the conversion preserve transparency from SVG?

TIFF supports alpha channel transparency, so transparent areas in your SVG can be preserved in the output. However, some print workflows require flattened images. Check your print provider's requirements for transparency handling.

Will complex SVG effects convert correctly to TIFF?

Standard SVG effects like gradients, shadows, and filters convert accurately. Our converter renders all SVG elements before creating the TIFF. Some advanced SVG features may render differently—preview the result to verify quality.

Is TIFF better than PNG for print production?

TIFF is the traditional standard in print production, supporting CMYK color mode, embedded ICC profiles, and higher bit depths. While PNG works well for web, TIFF is preferred when integrating with professional publishing workflows using InDesign or similar software.

How large will the TIFF file be compared to my SVG?

TIFF files are typically much larger than SVG because they store pixel data rather than vector instructions. A 10KB SVG could become several megabytes as high-resolution TIFF. The exact size depends on the rendered dimensions and compression settings.

Can I convert SVG with embedded fonts to TIFF?

Yes, text in your SVG is rasterized during conversion, preserving the exact appearance of fonts. The resulting TIFF displays text without requiring fonts to be installed. For guaranteed consistency, convert text to paths in your vector editor first.

What TIFF compression is used in the output?

Our converter uses LZW compression by default, providing lossless compression that reduces file sizes while maintaining perfect quality. Some professional workflows may require specific compression settings or uncompressed TIFF.

Can I specify custom dimensions for the TIFF output?

The output dimensions are determined by the SVG's viewBox at our default rendering resolution. For specific dimensions, adjust your SVG's viewBox before conversion, or resize the TIFF afterward using image editing software.

Is SVG to TIFF conversion lossless?

The rasterization process captures the SVG's visual appearance at high resolution, and TIFF stores this without compression artifacts. Quality is preserved at the rendered resolution, though you lose SVG's infinite scalability.
