Is my TIFF file uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and conversion run entirely in your browser using JavaScript (UTIF.js) and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.

Does the PNG preserve the full quality of the TIFF?

Yes. Both TIFF and PNG are lossless formats, so no pixel data is lost during conversion. The PNG output is a pixel-perfect representation of your TIFF image.

Why is my TIFF not loading?

This tool supports most standard TIFF variants including uncompressed, LZW and PackBits. Some proprietary TIFFs with unusual bit depths or compression methods may not decode correctly. Try re-exporting the TIFF from your software as a standard TIFF first.

Can I convert a multi-page TIFF to multiple PNGs?

Currently only the first page is extracted. Multi-page TIFF to individual PNG export is a planned enhancement.

Should I convert to PNG or JPG?

Convert to PNG to keep the image lossless — identical quality to the TIFF but universally compatible. Convert to JPG if you need the smallest possible file for sharing and can accept some quality loss.

Why is my PNG larger than expected?

PNG compresses less for complex photographic content. Photos from professional cameras may still produce large PNGs because DEFLATE compression works best on flat colours and simple patterns. For photos, JPG is a better choice.

Why Convert TIFF to PNG?

TIFF is a professional archival format widely used in print, scanning, and photography workflows. However, it is not supported natively by most web browsers and many consumer apps. PNG offers the same lossless quality — every pixel preserved exactly — while being universally compatible with browsers, messaging apps, and design tools. Converting TIFF to PNG gives you the same fidelity in a far more portable format.

TIFF vs PNG Comparison

Feature	TIFF	PNG
Compression	Lossless (LZW / uncompressed)	Lossless (DEFLATE)
Transparency	Supported	Full alpha channel
Multi-page	Yes	No (one image per file)
Browser support	Very limited	Universal
File size	Often very large	Smaller (better compression)

Multi-Page TIFFs

TIFF files can contain multiple pages (common in scanned documents). This converter extracts and converts the first page only. If you need all pages converted, you will need a dedicated multi-page document tool or process each page separately.

Common Sources of TIFF Files

Professional cameras — photographers export final edited images as TIFF from Lightroom or Photoshop. The TIFF is the master; PNG is used for web delivery.
Scanners — flatbed and document scanners default to TIFF for archival scans. PNG gives identical quality in a smaller, portable file.
Fax software — many document management systems save received faxes as multi-page TIFFs.
Print production — prepress workflows exchange TIFFs between designers and printers; PNG is needed when repurposing assets for web or slides.

After Converting: Consider WebP for Web Use

PNG is lossless and universally compatible, but not always the smallest option for web delivery. After converting TIFF to PNG, run the result through the PNG to WebP Converter — WebP typically cuts another 25–35% off file size while remaining visually lossless, making it the best format for images on modern websites.
