Phase One IIQ to TIFF
Phase One IIQ to TIFF turns IIQ raw files from Phase One medium format backs into baseline, uncompressed TIFF images. Select one or many files, click Convert to TIFF, and the tool extracts the largest JPEG preview stored in each file and saves it as a TIFF that retouchers, designers, and print workflows can open without raw software.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Phase One IIQ to TIFF converter do?
It reads IIQ files, the raw format from Phase One medium format systems, and finds the JPEG previews the camera back stored inside each one. The largest is saved as a TIFF: baseline and uncompressed, using 8 bits per channel RGB, the most broadly compatible form of the format. It is a practical hand-off file when a retoucher, designer, or publisher asks for TIFF and only needs to see or place the shot.
How do I convert IIQ files to TIFF?
Click the Drop Phase One IIQ Files Here area and choose your .iiq files; choosing again replaces the list. Each file is listed as Ready. Click Convert to TIFF and the files are processed in order, showing Processing and then Done. Each TIFF downloads automatically, keeping the original file name with a .tiff extension. If a file has no usable preview, its status says so and the rest carry on.
Is the TIFF output 16-bit?
No. The TIFFs are 8 bits per channel, and the tool has no raw development controls such as white balance or exposure. Browsers cannot develop sensor data, so it saves the camera back's own preview at that preview's resolution, which may be smaller than the full capture. It does not read the raw file's rotation flag, so vertical shots may need rotating. For 16-bit masters, export from your raw editor.
How large will the TIFF files be?
Because the TIFFs are uncompressed, each one stores roughly three bytes per pixel, so a 50 megapixel preview would come out at about 150 MB. The exact size depends on the preview resolution stored in each file. Large batches therefore take disk space and time. The benefit is that any TIFF reader can open them and no compression artifacts are added. For smaller lossless files, use the PNG version of this converter.
Where does TIFF conversion fit in a commercial workflow?
TIFF is the long-standing standard for print production, publishing, and retouching hand-offs, so a TIFF of a select gives collaborators a file they can open in any professional application for layout or a first look. Keep the IIQ originals as your masters and deliver final files from your raw editor. For editing large commercial shoots consistently, Imagen can learn your personal editing style and apply it across your raw files.
Is the IIQ to TIFF converter free and secure?
Yes. It is free, adds no watermark, and needs no installation. All conversion happens on your own device inside the browser and your files never leave it, so confidential client images stay with you. To unlock the tools, you answer that you are a photographer and create or log into a free account once.
