TIFF Won't Open? Convert to MOV Instantly
Fast, instant TIFF to MOV conversion. No signup required. Just drop your .tiff file and get .mov in seconds.
Batch Settings
Layers will be flattened
TIFF supports multiple layers, but MOV 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. MOV 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). MOV 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.
Color depth reduction: 32-bit → 10-bit
TIFF stores up to 32 bits per channel, but MOV supports only 10 bits. You may notice banding in smooth gradients (like sky or skin tones) where subtle color transitions are lost.
What compression artifacts to expect
MOV lossy compression can produce codec-dependent (ProRes: minimal, H.264: blockiness). 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.
