How to convert TIFF to PNG

  1. Upload one or more TIFF files (up to 50 MB total).
  2. Click 'Convert to PNG' — finishes in under 2 seconds per file.
  3. Download PNG files individually, or grab all as a ZIP.

Quick fact about TIFF

Both TIFF and PNG are lossless, so TIFF → PNG preserves every pixel exactly. The advantage is that PNG is a web-native format — TIFF is not supported by browsers. A TIFF → PNG conversion keeps the lossless quality while gaining web delivery.

Why convert TIFF to PNG?

TIFF is the professional standard for print production, publishing, and archival storage — but no browser supports it. PNG is also lossless (every pixel is preserved), supports transparency, and works in every browser and web platform. Converting TIFF to PNG gives you the same lossless quality in a format you can actually use on the web or in design workflows. The trade-off is file size: PNG files are typically 5-10x smaller than TIFF but still larger than lossy formats.

TIFF vs PNG

Attribute TIFF PNG
Developer Aldus / Adobe PNG Development Group
Compression LZW or uncompressed DEFLATE (zlib)
Typical file size Very large 5-10x smaller than TIFF
Alpha channel Supported (8/16-bit) Supported (8-bit)
Browser support None (not web-native) Universal since 1996
Best for Print, archival Web, editing, transparency

Technical details

Input format TIFF, TIF (LZW or uncompressed)
Output format PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
Compression Lossless (zlib)
Transparency Preserved (8-bit alpha)
Typical size change ~5-10x smaller than source TIFF
Browser support Universal since 1996
Max file size 50 MB per file
Batch processing Supported
File retention Auto-deleted after conversion

How the conversion works

The converter decodes the TIFF (LZW or uncompressed) and writes it as an uncompressed PNG using zlib compression. Every pixel of the decoded TIFF is preserved exactly — no quality loss occurs. TIFF's alpha channel is preserved as PNG's 8-bit alpha channel.

When to convert TIFF to PNG

Quality considerations

PNG output is lossless — every pixel of the decoded TIFF is preserved exactly. This makes PNG ideal for editing workflows and archival when you need a web-compatible format. TIFF is still the best choice for print masters; PNG is better for web delivery and general editing.

Common problems and fixes

PNG is still large
PNG is lossless, so files remain larger than JPG or WebP. For smaller files, use TIFF → WebP or TIFF → JPG.
16-bit TIFF precision is lost
PNG supports 16-bit per channel, but our converter outputs 8-bit for web compatibility. For high-precision work, keep the TIFF.
Multipage TIFF becomes single-page PNG
PNG doesn't support multiple pages. Our converter extracts the first page. For multipage, use a PDF conversion instead.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert TIFF to PNG? +
For web compatibility. TIFF isn't supported by browsers; PNG is. Both are lossless, so no quality is lost.
Is PNG lossless from TIFF? +
Yes. Every pixel of the decoded TIFF is preserved exactly.
Is PNG smaller than TIFF? +
Yes — typically 5-10x smaller. TIFF is often uncompressed or LZW-compressed; PNG uses more efficient DEFLATE.
Does PNG support transparency? +
Yes, 8-bit alpha. TIFF's transparency is preserved.
Will print quality suffer? +
For screen viewing, no difference. For print, keep the TIFF master — PNG's 8-bit depth may not preserve 16-bit color precision.
Can I convert multipage TIFF? +
Only the first page is converted to PNG. For multipage, use TIFF → PDF instead.
What's the maximum file size? +
50 MB per TIFF file.
