Format comparison
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality format widely used in print and publishing industries.
Pros
- ✓ Lossless quality
- ✓ Print industry standard
- ✓ Layer support
Cons
- ✗ Very large file sizes
- ✗ Not suitable for web
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless compression and supports transparency. Ideal for logos and screenshots.
Pros
- ✓ Lossless compression
- ✓ Alpha transparency
- ✓ Great for sharp edges
Cons
- ✗ Larger file sizes
- ✗ Inefficient for photos
When to Convert TIFF to PNG
Convert TIFF to PNG when you want a more convenient, lossless format for sharing or editing (common for scanned/print assets).
Technical Format Details
TIFF Technical Specifications
Technical details
TIFF is commonly used for scanning, print, and archiving. It supports many variations (compression, bit depth, multi-page), which is why compatibility can vary a lot across software.
Good for
- Scans/print assets: High-quality source files- Production workflows: Print-oriented intermediates
Notes
- File size: TIFFs can be very large- Compatibility: Not every TIFF is handled the same (multi-page/compression). If conversion fails, try exporting to PNG/JPEG from a dedicated editor first

PNG Technical Specifications
Technical details
PNG is a lossless raster format that preserves pixel data exactly. It supports alpha transparency, which makes it a common choice for logos and UI assets.
Good for
- Logos/icons: Assets that need transparency- Screenshots: Crisp text and line art
Notes
- Photos: Files can be large (WebP/JPEG may be a better fit)- Quality setting: Since PNG is lossless, “quality” controls may have little or no effect

How to Use
Add files
Drop or click to select your TIFF files (multiple supported)
Confirm output
Default is PNG. You can change to another supported output format if needed.
Adjust options
Set quality, resize, and metadata options only if you need them.
Convert & download
Download each file, or download everything as a ZIP for batch outputs.
FAQ
What's the difference between TIFF and PNG?
Both support lossless compression, but TIFF handles CMYK, layers, and multi- page — ideal for print.PNG is RGB- only, optimized for screen display.
Can I convert multi-page TIFFs?
Browser-based TIFF processing handles the first page only. For all pages, consider using a desktop application.
Does file size change?
Depends on the TIFF compression. Uncompressed TIFFs often become much smaller as PNG.
Will converting reduce image quality?
It depends on the output format. PNG is lossless, so quality stays the same. Lossy formats like JPEG/WebP/AVIF/JXL can change file size and appearance depending on the quality setting. Always verify with the final output before publishing.
Can I keep Exif metadata?
When "Keep Exif/Metadata" is ON, we try to carry over things like capture time, camera info, and GPS where possible. Some tags may be dropped depending on the input, output format, and browser environment. Turn it OFF if you want to remove location data before sharing.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. You can select multiple files, convert them in one run, and download each file individually. For multiple outputs, you can also download everything as a ZIP. For very large batches, splitting into smaller runs is more stable.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and your images are not sent to an external server.
What if conversion fails or is slow?
Some formats (like HEIC/HEIF) depend on browser support. If it fails, try another browser, reduce the number of files, or resize before converting.
