Why convert CGM to TIFF?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is the ISO vector graphics standard used for technical illustrations in aerospace, defence and engineering manuals. LibreOffice draws the metafile's lines, filled shapes and text onto a page, which is rendered at 144 dpi so the illustration stays crisp.
TIFF is a long-established image format for archiving, scanning and print workflows, and it holds the rendered page at full resolution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert CGM to TIFF?
Drop your CGM file above and press Convert. Our servers open the CGM with LibreOffice, export it as a PDF and render each page of that PDF as the image you chose. The result is saved as a TIFF image, ready to download.
Do the text labels in a CGM illustration show up in the TIFF?
Yes. LibreOffice imports the metafile's text along with its lines and filled shapes, so callouts and labels are drawn in place.
Are the fills and colours of a CGM illustration kept in the TIFF?
LibreOffice draws the filled areas, line colours and text as the metafile defines them, and the page is rendered at 144 dpi in full colour.
What happens when a CGM file fills several TIFF pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own TIFF image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one TIFF file.
Is the TIFF from a CGM file a single image?
Each rendered page is saved as its own standard TIFF image at full resolution. When there are several pages you receive one TIFF per page in a ZIP, numbered in order.
Is my .cgm file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
