How to convert TIF to WMF
- Add your .TIF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WMF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WMF file.
What to expect
- The image is embedded as a bitmap; WMF does not convert a photo into scalable vector shapes.
- WMF is a legacy Windows format with limited support on other platforms.
- A multi-page TIFF is reduced to one image and TIFF metadata is dropped.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting a TIFF to WMF turn it into scalable vector art?
No. The TIFF's pixels are embedded as a bitmap inside the WMF metafile; the image is not traced into vector shapes, so enlarging it still pixelates.
Why convert a TIFF to WMF?
WMF inserts cleanly into older Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents and legacy Windows workflows that expect a metafile rather than a raster file.
What opens a WMF file?
Windows applications open it directly, as do IrfanView and XnView MP; on Mac or Linux, LibreOffice Draw or Inkscape handle it.
What are the limitations of the result?
WMF is a legacy 16-bit Windows GDI format with limited support outside Windows. A multi-page TIFF reduces to a single image, and TIFF metadata is not retained.
