SVG to TIFF
This SVG to TIFF converter prepares vector artwork for print pipelines that request TIFF delivery.
Why print shops want TIFF
TIFF is lossless - unlike JPG, there's no quality degradation from compression. For print production:
- No compression artifacts - Every pixel is preserved exactly
- High bit depth - Supports 16-bit color for smooth gradients
- CMYK ready - Works with the color space printers use
- Industry standard - Every print shop accepts TIFF
What DPI should I use?
DPI depends on how it'll be printed:
- 300 DPI - Standard for magazines, flyers, business cards (anything viewed close-up)
- 150 DPI - Fine for posters and large format (viewed from distance)
- 72 DPI - Screen resolution, don't use this for print
When in doubt, go with 300 DPI. It's more file size, but you won't have to redo anything.
File size heads up
TIFF files are large because they're uncompressed. A full-page image at 300 DPI can easily be 50-100MB. That's normal for print - it's the trade-off for perfect quality.
For shareable vector handoff, also use SVG to PDF. If you only need web delivery, use SVG to WebP instead. Format reference: TIFF overview.
Frequently Asked Questions
300 DPI for standard printing (flyers, business cards, magazines). 150 DPI is fine for large format like banners or posters.
Print shops prefer TIFF because it's the industry standard and guarantees lossless quality. PNG works too, but TIFF is what they expect.
TIFF is uncompressed to ensure perfect quality. Large files are normal and expected for print production.
Yes. TIFF supports alpha channel transparency, so your transparent backgrounds are preserved.
Technically yes, but don't. TIFF files are huge. Use PNG or WebP for web.
