TIFF to PNG
Both TIFF and PNG can store images losslessly, but PNG is far more widely supported by web browsers and everyday apps, which don't typically open a raw TIFF file at all.
Choose PNG over JPG here if the source TIFF has transparency or sharp text and lines you don't want softened by lossy compression, since PNG preserves both exactly as they were.
As a rule of thumb: stick with TIFF when you need it for scanning, print, professional photo editing, and convert to PNG when screenshots, logos, graphics with text is what you actually need instead. Transparency support carries over either way.

Frequently asked
- Is my TIFF file uploaded to a server?
- No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
- What's the maximum file size?
- There's no hard limit, but very large images (over ~50 megapixels) may be slow to process since everything runs on your device rather than a server.
- Can I convert multiple files at once?
- Yes, the converter above accepts multiple files and lets you download them all at once as a zip.
