Convert AFPHOTO to TIFF

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert AFPHOTO to TIFF?
Yes - AFPHOTO converts to TIFF.

Open the file in Affinity Photo and use File > Export, pick TIFF, and enable the layers option if you want an editable multi-layer TIFF. Note that many other apps will still open an Affinity layered TIFF as a single flattened layer.

Why convert AFPHOTO to TIFF?

People export .afphoto to .TIFF because TIFF is a lossless, high-bit-depth format that print shops, scanning workflows and other editors all accept, whereas the native .afphoto format only opens in Affinity. A layered TIFF also lets you hand off an editable file to software that cannot read Affinity documents.

How to convert AFPHOTO to TIFF

Affinity Photo EASIEST

Open the .afphoto file, then choose File > Export, set Format to TIFF, and tick Save Affinity layers for a layered TIFF or leave it off for a flattened one.

Affinity Photo (batch)

For many files use File > New Batch Job, add your .afphoto documents, and set the output format to TIFF to convert them all at once.

Quality & what to watch

  • Affinity-made layered TIFFs often open flattened to a single layer in other apps such as Photoshop, so layers are not universally portable.
  • Live adjustments, masks and vector text are rasterized on export, so a layered TIFF is not a full replacement for the editable .afphoto file.
  • TIFF files are large; choose ZIP or LZW compression in the export dialog if size matters.

Frequently asked questions

Can Affinity Photo keep layers when exporting TIFF?
Yes. In the TIFF export dialog enable the option to save Affinity layers, though other apps may still see the result as flattened.
Is exporting afphoto to TIFF lossless?
TIFF itself is lossless, but live filters and adjustments are baked in, so you lose the ability to re-edit them non-destructively.
Why is my exported TIFF so large?
TIFF stores uncompressed pixel data by default. Pick ZIP or LZW compression in the export panel to shrink it without quality loss.
Do I need Affinity Photo to open the TIFF later?
No. Any image editor or viewer can open the TIFF, but only Affinity reliably re-reads the saved Affinity layers.
