Add your TIFF file
Drop one or more .tiff files onto the converter above, or browse for them. They load into browser memory only — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size-based pricing and no server queue.
TIFF to PNG
Converting a .tiff image to .png re-encodes the pixels for a different balance of size, quality, and support. Free, private, and validated — the file never leaves your browser.

Converting a .tiff image to .png re-encodes the pixels for a different balance of size, quality, and support. A .tiff file is a Tagged Image File Format raster, the long-standing archival and prepress standard for images that must not lose a single bit. Its tag-based structure lets one .tiff hold multiple pages, layers of metadata, and pixel formats from 1-bit fax scans to 32-bit floating-point channels.
A .png file is a losslessly compressed raster image with full 8-bit alpha transparency, making it the standard choice for graphics that must stay pixel-perfect. Screenshots, logos, UI assets, and diagrams are the classic .png territory, since sharp edges and flat color survive without compression artifacts. For this route the practical draw is perfectly lossless, so files can be opened and re-saved indefinitely and true 8-bit (or 16-bit) alpha channel — balanced against photographic content produces files several times larger than JPEG or WebP, which is worth knowing before you commit a large batch.
Why convert TIFF to PNG?
The practical trigger for this conversion is usually a mismatch: with .tiff, files are huge — often 10x a visually identical JPEG. Switching to .png buys you perfectly lossless, so files can be opened and re-saved indefinitely, which is why it is the better fit for screenshots and screen recordings exported as stills. Because the conversion runs locally, trying it costs nothing but a few seconds of compute on your own machine.
TIFF vs PNG at a glance
| Aspect | TIFF image (.tiff) | PNG image (.png) |
|---|---|---|
| Format type | Lossless — every pixel or sample is preserved exactly | Lossless — every pixel or sample is preserved exactly |
| How it stores data | structured as Image File Directories (IFDs) of numbered tags, allowing multiple images per file | uses DEFLATE compression preceded by per-scanline prediction filters (None, Sub, Up, Average, Paeth) |
| Strongest at | archival masters for museums, libraries, and digitization projects | screenshots and screen recordings exported as stills |
| Weak spot | files are huge — often 10x a visually identical JPEG | photographic content produces files several times larger than JPEG or WebP |
| Metadata | eXIF is itself structured as TIFF tags, so TIFF holds it natively, alongside XMP packets, IPTC records, ICC profiles, and GeoTIFF georeferencing tags | text metadata lives in tEXt/iTXt chunks and XMP can be embedded there; standardized EXIF arrived late via the 2017 eXIf chunk, so many tools still drop EXIF when writing PNG |
Pick PNG as the output
Select .png in the output menu next to each file. The menu only offers targets this engine can genuinely produce, so if PNG is selectable, the route is real and validated.
Convert on your device
Press Convert. Decoding and re-encoding happen on your device using the browser's native image pipeline and hand-tuned encoders.
Verify and download
Each result is signature-checked before the download unlocks, so a failed encode can never masquerade as a valid PNG file. Outputs keep the original filename with the .png extension.
TIFF to PNG questions, answered
Will converting TIFF to PNG lose quality?
Since tiff is lossless-oriented and png is lossless-oriented, the conversion preserves the source content exactly as stored; no additional compression pass is applied beyond what .png itself requires.
Is it private to convert TIFF files here?
Yes — the .tiff file is processed inside your browser tab and never uploaded. Decoding and re-encoding happen on your device using the browser's native image pipeline and hand-tuned encoders. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.
Where will the PNG file work?
Every modern browser has rendered PNG with full alpha since Internet Explorer 7 fixed its transparency bug in 2006, and native OS support is universal on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It is also the required format in many contexts, such as iOS app icons and favicon fallbacks.
Will the PNG file be bigger or smaller than my TIFF?
It depends on the content: uses DEFLATE compression preceded by per-scanline prediction filters (None, Sub, Up, Average, Paeth). Convert one representative file first and compare before batch-processing a large set.
What happens to the metadata in my TIFF file?
In .tiff, eXIF is itself structured as TIFF tags, so TIFF holds it natively, alongside XMP packets, IPTC records, ICC profiles, and GeoTIFF georeferencing tags. Re-encoding through the browser pipeline does not carry embedded metadata into the output, which doubles as a privacy scrub — check the exported file if you specifically need tags preserved.
Can I convert PNG back to TIFF?
Yes — the reverse route exists as a separate tool. Bear in mind that round-tripping .tiff → .png → .tiff is not a perfect undo when any lossy step is involved; keep your original if fidelity matters.
