What happens when you convert TIFF to WebP
| Compression | Lossless → Lossy or lossless |
|---|---|
| File size | Usually far smaller: often under a fifth of the size for photos |
| Transparency | Kept |
| Metadata | EXIF, GPS location and camera data are not copied to the new file |
| Opens in | all current browsers, Windows 10/11 Photos, macOS 11+ and recent editors; many upload forms and print shops still refuse it |
Sizes are typical values; your files will vary with content and settings.

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.

WebP is Google's web image format. It supports both lossy and lossless compression plus alpha transparency, and typically produces files 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at similar visual quality. Every current browser displays it.

Why convert TIFF to WebP?
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 WebP to make images load faster on a website while keeping transparency.
TIFF to WebP settings
Use the quality slider to balance size against detail; 80 to 90 percent is a good default for WebP. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Will the WebP lose quality?
WebP uses lossy compression, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. At the default quality setting the difference is very hard to see. Raise the quality slider if you need the result to stay closer to the TIFF original.
Is transparency kept when converting TIFF to WebP?
Yes. WebP supports transparency, so transparent areas in your TIFF stay transparent.
Will the WebP be smaller than the TIFF?
Usually much smaller for photos: as a rough guide, the WebP comes out at around 5% of the TIFF's size, depending on the quality setting.
