How to convert PNG to TIFF
- Add your .PNG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TIFF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TIFF file.
What to expect
- TIFF can be lossless, so pixel quality is preserved; avoid lossy JPEG-in-TIFF options if exact fidelity matters.
- PNG transparency may not be retained - many TIFF readers ignore or flatten the alpha channel, so transparent areas can turn opaque.
- The TIFF is often larger than the source PNG because TIFF's lossless compression is generally less efficient.
Frequently asked questions
Is PNG to TIFF a lossless conversion?
It can be. TIFF supports lossless compression (and even none at all), so the PNG pixels can be preserved exactly. TIFF also allows lossy JPEG-in-TIFF, but for a PNG source a lossless setting keeps full quality.
Why convert a PNG to TIFF?
TIFF is the standard for scanned documents, faxes, and archival images, and it supports multi-page files. Converting is common when an image needs to fit an archival or document workflow that expects TIFF.
Where does a TIFF open?
TIFF opens without extra software on Windows (Photos app) and macOS (Preview), and in most image editors. It is well supported on the desktop, though browsers generally do not display TIFF inline.
Will the TIFF be larger than the PNG?
Often yes. PNG is tuned for compact lossless web images, while TIFF's lossless modes are usually less space-efficient, so the same image tends to be larger as a TIFF.
