WEBP to TIFF
Take an image saved from the web and turn it into a TIFF that print and publishing tools can use.
WEBP to TIFF for print and publishing
WEBP was built for websites, and TIFF was built for print shops and publishers, so the two worlds rarely meet. When a picture you've saved from the web needs to go into a brochure, a magazine layout or an archive, this WEBP to TIFF converter bridges the gap in your browser.
Most layout software and printing workflows don't accept WEBP at all, but they handle TIFF without trouble.
How to convert WEBP to TIFF
There are no settings to adjust, since TIFF compression here is lossless.
- 1
Find your WEBP image
Open the upload box and pick the .webp file, or drop it on. A group of twenty is the limit per run.
- 2
Convert to TIFF
Press the button. The picture is decoded and stored losslessly, with transparent parts turned white.
- 3
Pass it along
Download the TIFF and send it to your print shop, or place it in your layout software.
Check whether the image is big enough to print
This matters more than the format. Divide the pixel width by 300 to get the print width in inches at standard print quality:
| Image width | Prints sharply up to |
|---|---|
| 800 px | About 2.7 in (7 cm) |
| 1200 px | About 4 in (10 cm) |
| 2000 px | About 6.7 in (17 cm) |
| 4000 px | About 13 in (34 cm) |
Posters viewed from a distance can get away with 150 DPI, which doubles those sizes.
What you'll get
- An 8-bit RGB TIFF at the same pixel size as the WEBP.
- Lossless Deflate compression, read by Photoshop, InDesign, Affinity and GIMP.
- A much larger file than the WEBP, often ten times the size or more.
- One page, with no layers, metadata or DPI tag. Set the print size in your layout tool.
Do you actually need TIFF?
Check what your printer asks for. Many online print services are perfectly happy with a high-quality JPG, which WEBP to JPG can make in seconds, at a much more manageable size. For transparent graphics headed to a design tool, WEBP to PNG is usually a better fit.
And make sure that you have the right to print a picture you found online. Images on websites are usually protected by copyright.
Private, with no sign-up
The file stays on your device, the tool is free, and the TIFF carries no watermark. Up to 250 MB per image is accepted.

Frequently asked questions
Drop the WEBP here and press Convert to TIFF. The picture is saved as a lossless 8-bit RGB TIFF that you can download immediately.
It depends on the pixel count. Web images are often only 800 to 1500 pixels wide, which prints sharply at just 3 to 5 inches at 300 DPI. Converting doesn't add detail, so look for a bigger original for large prints.
No. It preserves what the WEBP holds, including any compression artifacts. It does prevent further loss when you edit and save.
Transparent pixels are flattened onto white, since the TIFF has no alpha channel. Add your own background first if you need another color.
The first frame is saved as a single-page TIFF. The other frames aren't included.
Yes, as many as 20 at a time.
No. It's converted inside your browser.
