TIFF is an image format created in 1986 by Aldus and later maintained by Adobe. It's commonly used for print publishing, professional photography, archival preservation.

Will converting TIFF to HEIC reduce quality?

Slightly. HEIC uses lossy compression, so some fine detail is discarded. At normal viewing sizes, the difference is imperceptible.

How much smaller will the HEIC file be?

Typically 60-80% smaller than the original TIFF, depending on image content and quality settings.

Can I convert HEIC back to TIFF later?

Yes, but the HEIC compression is permanent. Always keep the original TIFF file if quality matters.
