How to convert TIFF to PNG
- Choose your files. Click Select File or drag your TIFF files into the upload box. You can add many at once.
- Pick the settings. PNG is already selected as the output format. Adjust Quality and Max dimension if you want smaller files.
- Download. Each file appears in the list when it is ready. Download them one by one, or all together with Download all.
Why convert TIFF to PNG?
TIFF is common for scans and professional photos, but browsers and many apps do not show it. PNG keeps the image lossless and opens everywhere, so it is the natural choice for sharing a TIFF without losing detail.
When to keep the TIFF
Keep the TIFF for print workflows and archives, especially if it has layers or extra colour depth.
Tips for the best result
- Set Quality to 100 for a lossless, full-colour PNG.
- Use Resize to make a lighter copy for the web.
- Transparency is kept if the TIFF has it.
Common problems and fixes
- Only one page came out.
- For multi-page TIFF files the first page is converted.
- The PNG is very large.
- Lossless PNG of a big scan is large. Use TIFF to JPG for photos, or lower Quality to reduce colours.

TIFF – Tagged Image File Format
TIFF is a flexible, high-quality format used in scanning, print production and professional photography. Files are usually large, and many web browsers cannot display TIFF at all, so images are normally converted before they are published online.

PNG – Portable Network Graphics
PNG stores images with lossless compression and supports full transparency, which makes it the usual choice for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges. The trade-off is size: a photograph saved as PNG is normally far larger than the same photo saved as JPG or WebP.

Converting TIFF to PNG
- PNG files are usually smaller than TIFF files at similar visual quality, so converting TIFF to PNG typically saves storage and speeds up page loads.
- PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges. To keep files small, the number of colours is reduced to match your Quality setting.
Frequently asked questions
Is PNG lossless like TIFF?
Yes, at Quality 100 the PNG stores every pixel exactly.
Why will my browser not show TIFF?
Most browsers do not support TIFF at all. PNG, JPG and WebP are the web formats.
How do I convert TIFF to PNG?
Click Select File or drop your TIFF file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted PNG appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
