About TIFF
Aldus created TIFF in 1986 so scanners and desktop publishing apps could share images, and Adobe took it over when it bought Aldus in 1994. It's still at home in scanning, printing, faxing, archives and maps.
A TIFF is more a container than a single format. One file can hold many pages, uncompressed, packed with LZW, ZIP, PackBits or JPEG, or as black and white fax data. Images run from 1 to 64 bit, in gray, color, palette or CMYK, and can have transparency.
Filepeek decodes TIFF itself in any browser, BigTIFF included, and lets you turn the pages with the arrows or your arrow keys. Very large images are shown at a smaller size, so your device keeps enough memory.

Questions
Why won't TIFF files open in my browser?
Chrome, Edge and Firefox can't show TIFF, and Safari stops at the first page. Filepeek brings its own decoder, so every page opens here, with nothing to install.
How do I see the other pages?
Use the arrows or your arrow keys to turn the pages. On bigger screens, the pages are also listed beside the image, so you can jump straight to one.
Can I save it as PNG or JPEG?
Yes. Open it, choose Export, then Save as PNG or Save as JPEG. In a file with several pages, it saves the page you're on.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Filepeek decodes the TIFF inside your browser. Scans and faxes often hold private papers, and they never leave your device.
