TIFF
Browsers cannot show TIFF. This page decodes it on your machine and hands back a JPG, PNG or WebP — multi-page scans included.

the format browsers never learned
Every other image on this site is in a format your browser already decodes. TIFF is not: outside Safari, no browser will display a .tif, which is why dropping one into an ordinary image tool gets you nothing. So this page carries its own decoder — about 100 KB, fetched only the moment you open a file — and turns the pixels into a canvas the browser can then save as JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing is uploaded; the decoder runs on your machine like everything else here.
TIFF is less a format than a container with thirty years of history inside it. LZW, Deflate and PackBits compression, 1-bit fax pages, 16-bit scans, palettes, CMYK, tiles instead of strips, several pages in one file — all of that is legal TIFF. Most of it decodes here, and a multi-page scan gets a page selector. A few old variants do not, and the honest answer is that the decoder is given a time limit and stopped if it runs over: an early-nineties LZW variant can send it into a loop that would otherwise freeze the tab. When that happens you get a message rather than a dead page.
three steps
Drop in a .tif or .tiff up to 60 MB. The decoder is fetched the moment you do and not before, so a page you never use costs nothing.
Multi-page scans get a page selector. JPG is the default; PNG keeps every pixel exactly, WebP sits in between.
The chosen page is saved at full resolution. For another page, change the number and download again.
quick answers
Because no browser other than Safari ships a TIFF decoder. The format is standard in scanning, printing and mapping, but it never made it into the web platform, so a .tif in an img tag shows a broken image. This page carries its own decoder to get around that.
Uncompressed, LZW, Deflate and PackBits; 1-bit, 8-bit and 16-bit; greyscale, palette, RGB and RGBA; strips and tiles; CCITT Group 4 fax; multiple pages. The obsolete old-style JPEG compression from 1992 is the main gap.
You get a message saying so. The decoder runs with a time limit on a separate thread, so a file that would otherwise loop forever is stopped and the page stays usable.
One at a time: change the page number and download again. The file is decoded page by page rather than all at once, which is what keeps a two-hundred-page scan from exhausting memory.
Choosing JPG means lossy compression, and the quality slider controls how much. Choose PNG if the TIFF was lossless and you want it to stay that way — the pixels come out identical.
It is converted to RGB, because that is the only thing a browser canvas and a JPG can hold. If you need to keep CMYK separations for print, the TIFF is the file to keep and this is not the right tool.
No. The decoder is a script that runs on your machine, and the converted image is built here too. There is no server in this tool to receive a file.
