TIFF to PNG Converter In your browser, nothing uploaded
EXIF metadata is removed. Decoding and redrawing the image carries no GPS coordinates, camera model or timestamp across, so the file you download has none of it. If you need that data kept, copy the originals instead.

What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless raster format from 1996. Every browser, every operating system and every image editor out there reads one without argument. Its compression combines per-row prediction filters with DEFLATE, exploiting the resemblance between neighbouring pixels to shrink the file while reproducing it exactly on decode, which is the trick every lossless image codec has leaned on since. It carries a full alpha channel. It handles everything from 1-bit line art to deep colour. For scanned documents, diagrams, screenshots and anything with text in it, PNG is the format that keeps edges crisp where a lossy codec would smear them.
What is a TIFF File?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format commonly used in photography, publishing, and professional printing. TIFF files can be very large and are not supported by web browsers, making conversion necessary for sharing or web use.
TIFF vs PNG
Choose this conversion when the TIFF is a master copy you cannot afford to degrade. Both formats are lossless, so the pixels that come out are the pixels that went in — the only differences are how efficiently they get stored and how widely they are supported. TIFF is frequently written with no compression at all. That is why a scan can balloon to tens or hundreds of megabytes. PNG compresses that identical image substantially, often by 60 to 95 percent on a document scan, because the acres of white background a scanner produces are about the most compressible thing an image codec ever meets. And unlike a TIFF, a PNG opens in any browser. Set against converting to JPG, you keep every pixel and accept a larger file for it.
Why Convert TIFF to PNG?
- You give up nothing whatsoever here, since both of these formats store their pixels losslessly.
- You shed most of the weight, and a document scan in particular collapses, because a page that is mostly white background is exactly the sort of thing DEFLATE eats for breakfast.
- You get a file a browser will actually display.
- You keep text and line art sharp, where JPG's compression would leave a visible halo of ringing around every letterform, which on a scanned contract is the difference between a clean document and a smeary one.
- You keep the alpha channel, if the TIFF had one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which browsers can decode a TIFF?
None of them, which is the awkward part. It is also the reason that most in-browser converters skip TIFF entirely. Chrome and Firefox reject the file. Safari does too, even though the macOS underneath it reads TIFF perfectly happily. So we ship our own decoder, written in JavaScript, running on a background thread and behaving identically in every browser including Safari, which is why this page carries no browser-support caveat. Your file still never leaves the device.
Is any quality lost converting TIFF to PNG?
None. Both formats are lossless, so what happens here is a repackaging rather than a re-encoding. Every pixel value survives exactly. That is the key difference from converting to JPG, which discards some of the detail permanently. For an archival master, a scanned legal document, or anything you plan to keep editing, PNG is the correct destination and JPG is a mistake you cannot undo.
What happens with a multi-page TIFF?
Only the first page converts. A single TIFF can store many pages. Scanners and fax software do it routinely. A PNG holds one image. Feed it a multi-sheet scan and you will get sheet one and nothing else, so reach for a dedicated multi-page TIFF tool when you need all of them.
Should I convert to PNG or JPG?
PNG when fidelity matters, or when the image is a document, a scan, a diagram or anything with text in it — it is lossless and keeps edges sharp. JPG when the content is photographic and small matters more to you than exact. For a scanned page, PNG wins on both counts. For a scanned photograph, JPG will be considerably smaller.
