Why convert PNG to TIFF?

PNG is a lossless web format — great for browsers but not always accepted by professional print and publishing software. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the industry standard for prepress, offset printing, medical imaging, and archival storage. Converting PNG to TIFF prepares images for workflows that require TIFF specifically.

Both PNG and TIFF are lossless, so conversion preserves every pixel exactly. TIFF adds support for CMYK color space, 16/32-bit depth, multiple layers, and embedded ICC profiles — features needed for professional print production. Transparency from PNG is preserved in TIFF.

TIFF files will be larger than PNG because TIFF uses less aggressive compression (LZW vs Deflate). If you need web-optimized files, keep them as PNG or convert to WebP.

This converter processes files locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No registration, no limits, no watermarks.

How to convert PNG to TIFF

  1. Upload your PNG file

    Drag and drop your PNG image onto the converter area or click to browse your device. You can add multiple files at once for batch conversion.
  2. Click Convert

    TIFF stores pixels without compression and without a quality slider: 8 bits per channel, with an alpha channel, on a single page.
  3. Download TIFF

    The Download button next to a file saves it on its own, and Download all packs all finished files into one ZIP archive. With a single finished file no archive is made, the file downloads directly.

When should you convert PNG to TIFF?

  1. The file is going to a print shop or into layout

    Print shops and layout programs such as Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher and Scribus accept TIFF without further conversion. The file from this converter is lossless, has 8 bits per channel and keeps the alpha channel, and you set the print resolution in your graphics program.
  2. A scan or photo is going into an archive

    Digital libraries and archives keep master copies in TIFF, because every save returns the same pixel values. All pixel values pass into it from the PNG file unchanged, and further saves remove nothing.
  3. The file has to open in every graphics program

    TIFF is read by Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, IrfanView and the macOS system preview, and among browsers Safari shows it. For email and the web keep the PNG, though, because TIFF weighs many times more.
  4. The image is going onto a website

    Among the major browsers only Safari displays TIFF, and the file weighs many times more than a compressed version. For a website prepare a light file with the PNG to WebP converter or the PNG to AVIF converter.

What makes this PNG to TIFF converter different?

  1. Complete privacy

    Your PNG files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server – your images stay on your device at all times.
  2. Many files at once

    Add any number of PNG files, each up to 100 MB. The converter processes them one by one and shows the status of each.
  3. Size before and after

    Next to every file you see the input and output size, and under the list the total for the whole queue, so you know at once how much a file grew or shrank.
  4. Download in one archive

    The Download all button packs all finished files into one ZIP archive, so you do not have to approve a dozen downloads one after another.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and Canvas API. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

No. TIFF from this converter stores pixels without compression, 8 bits per channel with an alpha channel, so the result is faithful to the image read from the PNG file.

Yes, the converter supports batch conversion. You can add multiple PNG files and convert them all to TIFF simultaneously. Use the batch download option to save all converted files at once.

What is the maximum file size?

Each file may be up to 100 MB; a larger one stops on the list with a message that it is too large. The number of files in the queue is not limited, and large images take longer because the browser decodes them fully into memory.

Is TIFF supported by all browsers?

No. Among the major browsers only Safari displays TIFF; Chrome, Firefox and Edge offer the file for download instead. For a web page save the image as PNG, JPG or WebP.

How do I download all files at once?

The Download all button packs the finished files into one ZIP archive named png-tiff.zip. With a single finished file no archive is made and the file downloads directly.
