About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Convert PNG to TIFF online free, no account required — TIFF is a flexible image format for print, scanning and archiving.
Change PNG to TIFF without losing quality — convert PNG to TIFF free in your browser.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the same photo as JPG? PNG stores every pixel losslessly, which is ideal for screenshots and graphics but wasteful for photos — JPG or WebP compress photographs far more efficiently.
About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format from 1986 that can store lossless or lossy images, several pages and high bit depths in one file.
Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.
Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
Why convert photos to TIFF? For print and archiving: no compression surprises, deep colour support, and every photo lab and printer accepts it.
