How to convert TIFF to PNG

  1. Drop your TIF or TIFF files onto the box above, or click Choose images to select them.
  2. Wait a moment while each file is decoded. Multi-page TIFFs show a grid with every page.
  3. Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.

Why convert TIF to PNG?

TIFF and PNG are both lossless, so you might wonder why to switch. The answer is support. TIFF is a format for scanners, print shops and photo archives; Chrome, Edge and Firefox can’t display it and many apps can’t open it. PNG keeps the same quality and opens everywhere, from web pages and slides to chat apps and image editors.

Convert TIFF to PNG when you want:

  • Exact quality. Screenshots, diagrams, scans of drawings and graphics stay pixel-perfect.
  • Transparency. Logos and cut-out product photos keep their transparent backgrounds, which JPG can’t do.
  • Something to edit further. PNG doesn’t degrade when you save it again, unlike JPG.

TIFF and PNG compared

Feature TIFF PNG
Quality Lossless (or JPEG inside) Lossless
Transparency Yes Yes
Multiple pages Yes No, one image per file
Opens in browsers Safari only Yes
Typical use Scanning, printing, archives Web, documents, graphics

Because a PNG holds a single image, multi-page TIFFs are split into one PNG per page. The orientation tag is applied, so pages come out the right way up, and faxes with stretched pixels are corrected.

All decoding happens in your browser with no upload. For photos, TIFF to JPG gives much smaller files; for documents, TIFF to PDF keeps all pages in one file.

Questions and answers

Is converting TIFF to PNG lossless?

Yes. PNG compression is lossless, so the image isn't degraded. A few things do change: 16-bit TIFFs are reduced to 8 bits per channel (what screens and the web use), CMYK images are converted to RGB, and fax pages with stretched pixels are resized to normal proportions.

Does transparency survive?

Yes. PNG supports transparency, so color and grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel keep their see-through areas.

Will the PNG be smaller than my TIFF?

Usually, if the TIFF is uncompressed. Compared with an LZW or ZIP compressed TIFF, the PNG is about the same size. For much smaller files, convert TIFF to JPG instead.

What happens to a multi-page TIFF?

Each page becomes a separate PNG, named with its page number. You can save single pages from the grid or download them all as a ZIP.

Which TIFF files can it open?

Uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, PackBits, JPEG and CCITT fax compressed TIFFs, in black and white, grayscale, color, palette, CMYK and 16-bit. JPEG 2000, Zstandard and WebP compressed TIFFs and rare layouts such as separate color planes aren't supported yet; you'll see a message if you add one.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your browser decodes the TIFF and writes the PNG on your device, so nothing is sent anywhere.
