How it works
- 01Add TIFF or TIF images by dropping, choosing or pasting them.
- 02Select Process; no quality setting is needed for lossless PNG.
- 03Check the result size shown next to each file.
- 04Download one PNG at a time or everything with Download all as a ZIP.
Why use this tool
No quality loss
PNG stores exact pixels, just like an uncompressed or LZW TIFF, so fine lines, small text and flat colors stay sharp.
Keeps transparency
TIFF graphics with transparent backgrounds stay transparent in PNG, ready to place over any color in a layout.
Displays in browsers
Most browsers cannot show TIFF at all. PNG previews instantly in web pages, wikis, chat apps and online editors.
Supported formats
Use cases
Scanned text and forms
Contracts and handwritten notes scanned to TIFF stay perfectly legible as PNG, without the fuzzy halos JPG compression adds around letters.
Technical drawings
Engineering plans, charts and microscopy images exported as TIFF need exact lines. PNG keeps them lossless for documentation sites and presentations.
Cut-out graphics
Product cut-outs or logos saved as TIFF with transparency become PNG files you can drop straight into a web page or slide deck.
Technical details
Both TIFF and PNG can store pixels losslessly, but PNG is the one the web understands. Converting does not discard detail, so it is a safe way to make a viewable copy of a scan or drawing. Size depends on content: line art and text scans often get smaller, while large photographic TIFFs remain big as PNG. For those, see whether a lossy format suits you better on the JPG vs PNG comparison.
Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted, so split fax or document stacks into single pages first. Output colors are converted to sRGB, and metadata from the TIFF, such as scanner or camera tags, is not kept. Transparency in the source is preserved in the PNG, so cut-out graphics keep their shape. Each file may be up to 50 MB and 100 megapixels, which covers most desktop scans.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting TIFF to PNG lossless?
Yes. PNG uses lossless compression, so the pixels you see in the TIFF are the pixels in the PNG. The only changes are that colors are converted to sRGB and metadata such as scanner tags is not copied across.
Will my PNG be smaller than the TIFF?
Often, but not always. Scans of text, diagrams and graphics usually compress well. A detailed photographic TIFF may produce a PNG of similar size, because lossless formats cannot throw detail away. Use JPG when a much smaller photo matters more.
Does PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. If your TIFF has transparent areas, they stay transparent in the PNG. This is a key reason to choose PNG over JPG, which would fill those areas with a solid color.
Can I convert every page of a TIFF?
The converter takes the first page of each TIFF file. For a multi-page document, save the pages as separate TIFF files in your scanner or viewer software, then add them all here as one batch.
Why can't my browser open TIFF files?
Most browsers only support TIFF partially or not at all, because it is a print and archive format with many variants. PNG is supported natively everywhere, which makes it a good lossless stand-in for viewing and sharing.
