What is a TIFF file?
TIFF – TIFF image. TIFF keeps pictures without losing quality, can hold several pages in one file, and is common in scanning, printing and photography. Files are large.
TIFF Converter →What is a PSD file?
PSD – Photoshop document. PSD is the working file of Adobe Photoshop. It keeps layers, masks and text, so files are large; converting gives the flattened picture that every program can open.

Good to know
- The Photoshop document has a single layer holding the picture.
- A TIFF file can hold several pages. PSD holds one picture, so when there is more than one page you get a ZIP with a PSD for each page.
- Tick Remove metadata in Options to leave out information stored in the picture, such as the camera and the place.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting TIFF to PSD free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my TIFF pictures uploaded anywhere?
Pictures up to 200 MB never leave your device: ConvertKitty converts them inside your browser, with ImageMagick compiled to WebAssembly. Only larger files, or formats your browser cannot handle (camera RAW, PostScript, XPS, LibreOffice and Publisher files, and video or audio), are sent to our server, over an encrypted connection, and deleted 72 hours after the conversion. The button says "Upload and convert" whenever that happens.
How large can the TIFF file be?
Files up to 200 MB are converted right in your browser. Larger files, up to 1 GB, are converted on our server.
Can I change the size or quality of the PSD?
Yes. Click Options next to the file to set a width and height, choose a quality, remove metadata and more. Only the settings that make sense for TIFF to PSD are shown.
Can I convert several TIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.
