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.
Convert TIFF to PNG online free, no account required — PNG is a lossless image format with transparency.
Change TIFF to PNG without losing quality — convert TIFF to PNG free in your browser.
Why are my scanned TIFF files hundreds of megabytes? TIFF keeps every detail for print and archival, usually uncompressed — after the archive copy is safe, a JPG or PNG version is far easier to send and share.
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).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
What changes when you convert TIFF to PNG
- TIFF and PNG both store pixels without loss, so the picture carries over pixel for pixel.
Settings you can change
Before you convert TIFF to PNG, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted PNG file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
