A folder of layered Photoshop PSD files is hard to hand off. The files are large, they carry hidden layers and extra channels, and most print shops and archives want a single flat TIFF instead. Opening each PSD in Photoshop and exporting it one by one wastes an afternoon. Total Image Converter flattens and converts the whole folder to TIFF in one batch, and no Photoshop is required.
Quick answer: To convert PSD to TIFF, install Total Image Converter, open the folder that holds your PSD files, check the ones you need, click the TIFF button, set the compression and resolution, then press Start. The program flattens every layered PSD and writes a print-ready TIFF for each file in one offline batch, with no upload and no size limit.
Point the program at the folder with your PSD files and it lists them all. Check the files you want, or click Select All to grab the whole set. Click TIFF, confirm the compression and resolution, pick an output folder, and press Start. Total Image Converter flattens the layers and saves a clean TIFF for each source file. The built-in viewer lets you compare source and result before you commit.
TIFF is the format print houses and long-term archives trust. It stores bitmap data losslessly, works on every professional editor, and needs no Photoshop to open. Flattening a PSD to TIFF locks the layers into one stable image so the file prints exactly as you see it. For a document-style hand-off instead, convert the same files with PSD to PDF; to bundle finished TIFFs into one document, use TIFF to PDF.
Keep the default settings for the fastest run — the program saves each PSD as a full-quality TIFF with no manual tuning. Adjust compression only when you need to trim file size for storage.
Working on a server or a nightly job? The command-line version converts PSD to TIFF from a .bat script or a scheduled task, so a watched folder can flatten new files without anyone opening the interface.
A personal license starts at $49.90 and unlocks unlimited conversions. The 30-day trial is fully functional and needs no email or credit card.
"Clients keep sending cover art as layered PSD files, but our imagesetter only takes flat TIFF. Total Image Converter flattens a whole job folder to TIFF in one pass with the resolution locked where I need it, so I stopped opening Photoshop just to export files one at a time."

"We archive scanned poster designs and needed a lossless master format, not PSD. Batch-converting to uncompressed TIFF preserved every detail, and processing a few hundred files at once saved days compared to the manual route we used before."

"Our large-format printer chokes on multi-layer PSD, so I flatten everything to TIFF first. The batch mode handles the full folder and the LZW option keeps file sizes reasonable. It took a moment to find the resolution setting, but once set it just works."
