Layers will be flattened

TIFF supports multiple layers, but MP4 does not. All layers will be merged into a single flat image. Keep your original TIFF file if you need to edit individual layers later.

Some metadata may not survive

Your TIFF file may contain EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC metadata. MP4 has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

CMYK → RGB color conversion

Your TIFF file uses CMYK color space (designed for print). MP4 uses RGB. Colors will be converted — some print-specific colors (especially deep blues and vivid oranges) may shift slightly. For critical color matching, use a calibrated ICC profile.

What compression artifacts to expect

MP4 lossy compression can produce blockiness, banding in gradients, mosquito noise. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
