Generation loss — quality may degrade
WEBM 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 WEBM file may contain WebM/Matroska tags metadata. TIFF has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
