Can I convert an animated GIF?

You can upload one, but only the first frame is converted — FileMorf's browser-based engine currently produces still images, so the animation itself is not carried into the TIFF file. Static GIFs convert completely.

Is GIF transparency preserved in the TIFF output?

Yes. GIF's single-level transparency carries over cleanly. Edges will remain hard, though — GIF never stored partial transparency, so there is no soft alpha for the TIFF file to inherit.

Does converting GIF to TIFF improve image quality?

No — colors that were already reduced to GIF's 256-color palette stay reduced; no converter can invent detail back. What you gain is a container without GIF's limits, so future edits and saves in TIFF won't degrade the image any further.

How large will the TIFF file be?

Large. FileMorf writes plain uncompressed RGBA TIFF — about 4 bytes per pixel — because that is the variant every print, scanning, and archival tool reads without codec surprises. Use TIFF when a pipeline requires it; for everyday storage, PNG holds the same pixels in far less space.

Questions about GIF and TIFF.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

Document-management systems, OCR pipelines, and archival workflows often ingest only TIFF, while the asset you have — an old logo, diagram, or scanned figure — is a GIF. Converting stores the decoded pixels as uncompressed RGBA TIFF with GIF's transparency carried over, and nothing is lost, since the pixels are copied exactly as they are. For animated GIFs only the first frame is converted; TIFF here is a single still image.
