TIFF Tagged Image File Format
TIFF is a flexible format used by scanners, publishers and photographers. It can hold uncompressed or losslessly compressed pixels, multiple pages and high bit depths.

PNG stores pixels with lossless DEFLATE compression and a full 8-bit alpha channel. It is the safe default for screenshots, logos, UI assets and anything with sharp edges or text, because every pixel survives exactly as drawn.

Why convert TIFF to PNG?
TIFF files come from scanners, fax software and print workflows, and a single page can run to tens of megabytes. Files are large and web browsers cannot display TIFF directly. Choose PNG when you need exact pixels or transparency, for example to keep editing the image or place it on a coloured background.

You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG lose quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel or sample in your TIFF is kept exactly.
Is transparency kept when converting TIFF to PNG?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your TIFF stay transparent.
Will the PNG be smaller than the TIFF?
Usually a little smaller for photos: as a rough guide, the PNG comes out at around 85% of the TIFF's size, depending on the quality setting.
