Convert TIFF to PNG
Convert TIFF images to PNG format instantly in your browser. PNG preserves lossless quality with smaller files than TIFF — perfect for web graphics and continued editing. No upload needed.

//when_to_use
When to Convert TIFF to PNG
- Converting scanned architectural drawings from TIFF to PNG for embedding in web-based project management tools
- Preparing TIFF graphics from InDesign or Illustrator exports for use on websites where TIFF isn't supported
- Converting medical imaging TIFF files to PNG for viewing in standard image viewers without specialized software
- Sharing high-quality TIFF scans via web platforms (Google Drive preview, Slack, Notion) that display PNG natively
- Archiving TIFF images in PNG format to maintain lossless quality with better software compatibility

//how_it_works
How It Works
Drop your TIFF files
Drag and drop or select TIFF/TIF images. Supports all TIFF variants — uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, and JPEG-compressed.
Browser decodes TIFF
Your browser's native TIFF decoder reads the image data at full resolution and renders it onto an HTML Canvas with alpha channel support.
Lossless PNG export
The Canvas exports as a 32-bit PNG with DEFLATE lossless compression. Zero quality loss — every pixel identical to the TIFF source, typically in a smaller file.
Download web-ready PNGs
Your PNG files work everywhere — web browsers, image editors, social media, chat apps. Lossless quality preserved for further editing.
// under the hood
TIFF stores image data in various compression modes (uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, JPEG) with support for high bit depths. Our converter renders the TIFF onto an HTML Canvas using the browser's native decoder, then exports as 32-bit PNG (24-bit color + 8-bit alpha) with DEFLATE lossless compression. The conversion is fully lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly as in the original TIFF.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why convert TIFF to PNG?
- TIFF files are large and not supported by web browsers. PNG offers lossless compression that's typically 30-60% smaller than uncompressed TIFF, while being universally supported on the web and in all image editors. You get smaller files without any quality loss.
- Is the conversion lossless?
- Yes. Both TIFF and PNG support lossless compression, so no image data is lost during conversion. Every pixel in the PNG output is identical to the TIFF source. PNG uses DEFLATE compression which is very efficient for graphics and scans.
- How much smaller will the PNG be?
- Compared to uncompressed TIFF, PNG is typically 30-60% smaller thanks to DEFLATE lossless compression. If the TIFF already uses LZW compression, the PNG will be similar in size. Either way, PNG gains universal web and software compatibility.
- Does PNG preserve transparency from TIFF?
- Yes. PNG fully supports alpha channel transparency. If your TIFF has transparent areas, they will be preserved in the PNG output with full 8-bit alpha precision (256 transparency levels).
- Are my files private?
- Completely. All conversion happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your TIFF files are never uploaded to any server. We have zero access to your images at any point.
