TIFF to PNG with no loss of quality

TIFF and PNG are both lossless, but PNG is far easier to live with. Browsers show it, phones open it, and every editor and office app can read it. This TIFF to PNG converter moves your scans, diagrams and archive images to that friendlier format, without changing their pixels.

It's the right choice when you can't accept any further compression loss, such as with text documents, technical drawings and images you'll edit later.

How to convert TIFF to PNG

It takes three steps, and the result is identical to the source for 8-bit images.

  1. 1

    Pick your TIFF file

    Drop a .tif or .tiff onto the upload box. Only the first page of a multi-page file is used.

  2. 2

    Start converting

    Press Convert to PNG. There's no quality to set, since both formats are lossless.

  3. 3

    Download the PNG

    You'll get a file that opens anywhere. Take several at once as a ZIP if you've done a batch.

What to know about the conversion

  • First page only. Fax files and multi-page scans give you just the first image.
  • 8-bit output. High-bit-depth scans are reduced to 8 bits per channel. If you need 16-bit PNG, use desktop software.
  • Standard color. Files with embedded profiles or CMYK color are converted for the screen, and that can shift colors a little.
  • No metadata. Scanner details, EXIF and DPI information aren't copied.

Making the PNG lighter

Scanned documents often have only a few real colors. Compress Image reduces the PNG's palette, and it can dramatically shrink pages of black text on white, usually with no visible change. If you've got more pixels than you need, Resize Image can reduce them before you share the file.

To turn several converted scans into a single document, use Image to PDF, which creates one page per image.

Runs on your device

Your TIFF files aren't uploaded, so scans of personal or company documents remain private. The tool is free, with no account or watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Drop the TIFF on this page and press Convert to PNG. Your browser decodes the file and writes a lossless PNG for you to download.
For ordinary 8-bit images, yes: every pixel stays exactly the same. 16-bit TIFFs are converted to 8 bits per channel, which is a reduction in tonal precision, though it's rarely visible.
Often, particularly if the TIFF is uncompressed. Scanned documents and graphics can shrink by half or more. If the TIFF already uses strong lossless compression, the sizes may be similar.
Yes, when the decoded TIFF contains alpha. PNG supports full transparency, so those areas stay see-through.
Only the first page is converted, because a PNG holds one image. Export other pages from your scanning software as separate files.
PNG is better for text, line art and images that you'll edit further. JPG is better for photos that you want to share, since the file will be much smaller.
Yes. They're converted in your browser and never uploaded.
