TIFF to WebP Converter

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

TIFF files are often 10-30x larger than the same image as WebP, because TIFF stores every pixel losslessly. Converting TIFF to WebP reduces file size by up to 95% while keeping visual quality high on modern screens.

TIFF is the professional standard for print production, publishing, and archival storage — but its lossless format produces enormous files that can't be delivered efficiently over the web. A single TIFF scan can be 50-200 MB. WebP is the modern web format: 95% smaller, universally supported by browsers since 2020, and preserves transparency. Converting TIFF to WebP modernizes images for web delivery without sacrificing visual quality on screens.

The converter decodes the TIFF (LZW or uncompressed) and re-encodes it as WebP using libwebp at 85% quality. WebP's VP8-based compression is significantly more efficient than TIFF's lossless storage, producing files 20-30x smaller at the same visual quality. TIFF's alpha channel is preserved as WebP's alpha channel.

• Converting archival TIFF scans for web delivery.
• Reclaiming storage from a large TIFF folder.
• Preparing print masters for web publishing.
• Modernizing legacy TIFF images for use in web apps.
• Reducing backup size for TIFF-heavy folders.
• Preparing TIFF images for CDN delivery.
• Converting large TIFFs for mobile or bandwidth-limited users.

WebP output uses 85% quality — visually indistinguishable from the TIFF source at normal viewing distances. The file size drops up to 95% because WebP uses modern lossy compression while TIFF stores losslessly. For print-quality TIFF masters, keep the original TIFF — WebP is for screen delivery.

• WebP is a lossy format — the TIFF source is not preserved bit-for-bit.
• Very old software (pre-2015) may not support WebP.
• 16-bit TIFF precision is reduced to 8-bit in WebP.
• Very large TIFF files (over 50 MB) are rejected.
• Some TIFF variants (multipage, complex layers) use only the first frame.

• WebP opens natively in every browser since 2020.
• Native support in Windows 10+, macOS Big Sur+, iOS 14+, Android 4+.
• Supported by WordPress 5.8+, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost.
• Native import in Photoshop 23+, GIMP 2.10+, Affinity, Figma.
• Ideal for modern web delivery via CDNs.

• Keep the TIFF master — it's the archival source for print.
• WebP is for screen delivery; TIFF is for print.
• Batch-convert up to 50 MB of TIFF files at once.
• For lossless web delivery, use TIFF → PNG instead.
• WebP preserves TIFF transparency if the source had alpha.

WebP file is much smaller than expected

That's the point — TIFF → WebP typically reduces file size by 90%+ while preserving visual quality on screens.

WebP won't open in very old software

Software from before 2015 may not support WebP. Convert to JPG if legacy compatibility is required.

16-bit TIFF precision is lost

WebP is 8-bit. For high-precision work, keep the TIFF or use PNG (also 8-bit but lossless) as an intermediate format.
