TIFF to DivX Converter

How to Convert TIFF to DivX Online

1. Upload Your TIFF Files: Drag and drop or click "+ Add Files" to load .tif/.tiff images. Numbered sequences (e.g., frame_0001.tif through frame_1000.tif) work — upload them all and they become individual frames in the output video. Both single-page and multi-page TIFFs are accepted.
2. Pick Merge Strategy and Duration: Choose Merge images to combine every TIFF into one DivX video (the usual choice for time-lapses, animations, or rendered frame sequences), or Video per image to wrap each TIFF in its own DivX clip. Then set Duration — pick 1/30s or 1/24s for cinematic playback of pre-rendered sequences, or 2-10 seconds per frame for slideshow-style output. Default is 5 seconds per frame.
3. Set Background Color and Resolution (Optional): Pick a Background Color (default White) to fill letterbox/pillarbox bars when TIFF aspect ratios don't match the output. Under Video resolution, pick Keep original, a Preset Resolution (768p, 1080p, etc.), or enter custom Width x Height with aspect ratio locked. The File Compression > Quality Preset dropdown (default "Very High") trades file size for visual fidelity.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert". The encoder packages MPEG-4 Part 2 video with MP3 audio (silent by default for image input) into a .divx-extension AVI container. Download each file individually or grab them all as a ZIP. Server-side processing — no sign-up, no watermark.

Why Convert TIFF to DivX?

TIFF is the go-to format for uncompressed image capture — scientific cameras, scanners, 3D renderers, and motion-graphics tools all write numbered TIFF sequences as their native output because TIFF preserves full bit depth (8/16/32-bit), alpha channels, and metadata losslessly. The trade-off: a single 4K TIFF frame can hit 25-50 MB, so a 10-second 24fps sequence balloons to 6-12 GB of source files. DivX (MPEG-4 ASP in an AVI container, originally released in 2000) compresses that down by 50-100x while still playing on the wide range of DivX-certified TVs, Blu-ray players, in-car systems, and game consoles shipped over the last two decades. Common scenarios:

• Time-lapse and stop-motion delivery — A DSLR shooting interval-mode TIFFs for a sunrise time-lapse produces hundreds of 20-MB files. Wrapping them at 24-30 fps into a DivX AVI yields a single ~50 MB playable file for sharing or burning to DVD-R.
• Scientific and microscopy playback — ImageJ, Fiji, and microscope-capture software export raw acquisitions as TIFF stacks. Converting to DivX makes them shareable with collaborators who don't have specialized viewers, and most lab PCs already have DivX or a compatible MPEG-4 ASP decoder installed.
• 3D-render and animation output — Blender, Maya, and After Effects render to numbered TIFF sequences to avoid codec artifacts mid-pipeline. DivX is a quick "preview" delivery format that plays on every standalone DVD player manufactured after January 2011 (when DivX support became near-universal in consumer DVD hardware).
• Legacy hardware and standalone DVD players — Samsung, Philips, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, and Toshiba have all shipped DivX-certified players. If you're authoring discs for older home-theater setups or in-car DVD systems, DivX in AVI is more compatible than H.264/MP4 across early-2000s hardware.
• Surveillance and time-stamped archives — Security cameras and dashcams that snapshot to TIFF (for legal-evidence integrity) can be sequenced into a single DivX clip for review — far smaller than the original frame set.
• Archive-to-shareable conversion — A 1,000-frame TIFF master archive at ~20 GB compresses to a 200-300 MB DivX file, fitting on a CD-R or as an email-shareable Drive link.

Need a different starting format? Convert JPG to DivX or PNG to DivX the same way. For modern delivery, TIFF to MP4 (H.264) plays on phones and browsers directly; TIFF to AVI lets you pick a different codec inside the AVI container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use DivX instead of MP4 for a TIFF-sequence video?

Two reasons. First, hardware compatibility: standalone DVD players, in-car DVD systems, and consumer electronics from roughly 2003-2015 are far more likely to play a .divx/.avi file than an .mp4 file directly off a USB stick or burned disc. Second, DivX in AVI plays back natively in VLC, MPC-HC, KMPlayer, and PotPlayer without any codec installation. If your audience is on phones, browsers, or modern smart TVs, TIFF to MP4 gives a smaller file at equal quality.

My TIFF files are different sizes — what happens when I merge them into a video?

The output frame size is fixed (whatever you picked under Video resolution), and each TIFF is scaled to fit while preserving its aspect ratio. The unused space gets filled with the Background Color (white by default) — that's why a portrait TIFF inside a 1920x1080 output produces white side bars. To avoid letterboxing, either pre-crop the TIFFs to a uniform aspect ratio or set the output resolution to match the dominant aspect.

Will the order of my TIFF files be preserved?

Files are processed in the upload order, which most browsers sort alphanumerically. For numbered sequences, use zero-padded names (frame_0001.tif, frame_0002.tif, ... frame_1000.tif) — not frame_1.tif, frame_10.tif, frame_2.tif, which sorts wrong. If frames appear out of order, rename them with consistent padding and re-upload.

Can I add an audio track to my DivX output?

This converter renders silent video from TIFFs. To add music or narration, first generate the silent DivX, then mux audio in a tool that supports AVI editing (VirtualDub, FFmpeg, or import into a video editor). DivX in AVI supports MP3, AC3, and AAC audio tracks — MP3 is the most compatible choice for older DVD players.

What's the difference between the .divx and .avi file extensions?

Both contain the same MPEG-4 Part 2 video. The .divx extension uses DivX Media Format (DMF), an extension to AVI that supports chapters, interactive menus, and multiple subtitle tracks. A plain .avi is the standard 1992 Microsoft container — broader compatibility but no DivX-specific features. Most players treat them identically; the extension is mostly a hint to the OS about which player to associate.

How big will my output DivX video be?

For a typical 30-second clip at 1080p with "Very High" quality preset, expect 15-40 MB. The exact size depends on visual complexity — a static slideshow of solid-color images compresses far better than a fast-motion time-lapse with lots of detail per frame. To target a specific size, lower the Quality Preset from "Very High" down to "High" or "Medium" and re-encode.

Do multi-page TIFFs become a single video or split into multiple frames?

Each page of a multi-page TIFF is treated as one frame in the output sequence, in document order. A 60-page TIFF document at 1/30s per frame becomes a 2-second 30 fps DivX clip. If you want them as separate videos instead, choose Video per image in Merge Strategy — though for multi-page TIFFs, the pages within one file still become frames of a single output.

Is DivX still actively maintained in 2026?

Yes. DivX, LLC released version 11.14 in December 2025 and continues shipping Windows and macOS updates. The MPEG-4 Part 2 codec itself is two decades old and won't see new features, but decoders ship in every major media player. The successor formats from DivX are DivX Plus HD (H.264) and DivX HEVC Ultra HD; this converter produces classic MPEG-4 ASP DivX for maximum legacy-hardware playback.

Can I trim or rearrange frames before converting?

Not in this converter. Pre-trim by deleting the TIFF files you don't want before upload, or rename them to control sequence order. For frame-by-frame editing after conversion, use Video Cutter on the resulting DivX file, or run through Video Compressor if the output is larger than you need.
