Generation loss — quality may degrade
MKV uses lossy compression and TIFF typically uses lossy mode. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Some metadata may not survive
Your MKV file may contain Matroska tags, chapter markers, attachments metadata. TIFF has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
