Why convert TIFF to PNG?

TIFF is the standard format for scanning and print workflows, but most websites, apps, and messaging platforms do not accept it. PNG is universally supported, displays natively in every browser, and is usually smaller than an uncompressed TIFF. Converting is risk-free because .PNG is a lossless format, so no pixel data is lost in the process.

Quality & what to watch

  • A multi-page TIFF becomes one PNG file per page - PNG can only hold a single image.
  • CMYK TIFFs (common in print files) are converted to RGB on export, so colors may shift slightly.
  • If the source TIFF has an alpha (transparency) channel, PNG preserves it intact.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting TIFF to PNG lose quality?
No - both formats are lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly. The only exception is a TIFF that already uses internal JPEG compression, which was lossy before the conversion.
Why is my PNG sometimes larger than the original TIFF?
The TIFF was likely compressed with LZW or ZIP, which can beat PNG on images with large uniform areas such as scanned documents. PNG is only guaranteed smaller than an uncompressed TIFF.
How do I convert a multi-page TIFF to individual PNGs?
Use ImageMagick (magick input.tiff page-%03d.png) or IrfanView (Image > Extract all frames) - each page becomes a numbered .png file.
What happens to CMYK color when converting to PNG?
PNG does not support CMYK, so the tool converts it to RGB on export. Colors may shift slightly; for precise results use Adobe Photoshop with a proper color profile.
