How do I convert TIFF to PNG online?

To convert TIFF to PNG online, add your TIFF files above, press Convert and download the PNG files. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency. Multi-page TIFF files convert their largest page, and 16-bit images are reduced to 8-bit. Nothing leaves your browser.

About the TIFF to PNG Converter Online by Websolindia

Convert TIFF files to PNG to keep every pixel and any transparency in a format that browsers, apps and design tools all open, often at a fraction of the size. It is a free tool from Websolindia, a New Delhi website design and SEO company that builds fast, image-optimised websites.

Unlike most online converters, this tool does not upload your images. Your browser decodes each TIFF file, converts it and creates the PNG file on your own device. That keeps private photos private, avoids upload waits and keeps working on a slow connection once the page has loaded. You can convert up to 50 files at a time and download them one by one or together as a ZIP.

Working with TIFF files more often? Our TIFF to JPG Converter Online is another quick option. You may also like the JPG to PNG Converter Online, or browse every tool in the Websolindia image converter collection. Optimised images help page speed, which you can measure with our Website Performance Analyzer.

When to Convert TIFF to PNG

  • Using TIFF artwork on a website, where only PNG, JPG and modern formats display reliably.
  • Keeping a lossless copy of a scan or graphic that is easier to share.
  • Opening TIFF files in tools that do not support the format.
  • Reducing the size of uncompressed TIFF graphics without any loss.

What to Watch For When Converting TIFF to PNG

  • Only the largest page of a multi-page TIFF is converted.
  • 16-bit images are reduced to standard 8-bit, and CMYK or Lab colours are converted to sRGB.
  • Photographic TIFFs may still produce large PNG files; JPG is smaller if some loss is acceptable.

File size: PNG is lossless and usually much smaller than an uncompressed TIFF, though still large for photographs.

How We Convert TIFF to PNG — Our Method

This is exactly what happens to your file. Nothing is hidden, and you can verify that nothing is uploaded by watching your browser's network tab while you convert.

How the TIFF to PNG Converter Online works, step by step
StepWhat happens
1. Read the file locallyYour browser reads the file from your device into memory. Nothing is sent to a server.
2. Identify the formatWe check the file's first bytes (its signature) instead of trusting the extension, so a PNG renamed to .jpg is still handled correctly.
3. Decode the TIFF to pixelsThe image is decoded to raw red, green, blue and alpha pixels using UTIF.js, an open-source TIFF decoder that runs inside your browser.
4. Resize (optional)If you set a maximum width, larger images are scaled down with an area-weighted filter. Images are never enlarged, and the proportions are always kept.
5. Keep transparencyTransparency passes straight into the PNG file, because PNG supports it.
6. Encode the PNGThe pixels are written out as PNG using your browser's PNG encoder (lossless). Metadata such as camera details and location is not copied.
7. Report the resultWe show the dimensions, the sizes before and after, and the change: (new size − original size) ÷ original size × 100. For example, 500 KB becoming 350 KB is −30%.

Speed depends on your device and the image size. In our Chrome tests on a desktop-class processor, a 6-megapixel photograph took about 2 seconds to convert to WebP or PNG. AVIF is the slowest: about 2.5 seconds on Fast and about 7.5 seconds on Balanced. Phones and older laptops take longer, and images over about 120 megapixels are declined rather than risking a frozen browser.

TIFF to PNG Converter Online — Frequently Asked Questions

Does TIFF to PNG lose quality?

No, not for standard 8-bit files: PNG stores the pixels exactly. 16-bit images are reduced to 8 bits, which can only matter in extreme edits.

Does PNG keep a TIFF's transparency?

Yes. An alpha channel in the TIFF becomes the PNG's transparency.

Why is PNG better than TIFF for the web?

Every browser displays PNG and files are smaller, while TIFF is shown only by Safari. TIFF remains better for print workflows and multi-page documents.

What if my TIFF has several pages?

The largest page is converted. Split multi-page TIFF files into separate images beforehand to convert every page.

Is there a smaller option for photos?

Yes. The TIFF to JPG Converter Online produces much smaller files when slight, controlled loss is acceptable.

Are all TIFF files supported?

Common uncompressed, LZW, Deflate and PackBits TIFFs are supported. Some rare compression types are not, and you will see a clear message.

Is the TIFF to PNG Converter Online free to use?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit. You can convert up to 50 TIFF files in one go. It is provided by Websolindia.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Your TIFF files are read and converted inside your browser, on your own device. They are never sent to Websolindia or anyone else, which is why this converter is safe for private photos and documents.

Does the converter remove EXIF and location data?

Yes. The new file is created from the decoded pixels, so camera details, GPS location and other embedded metadata are not copied. If you need to keep metadata, use a desktop editor.

How many files and how large can they be?

Up to 50 files per batch and 150 MB per file. Images above roughly 120 megapixels are declined with a clear message rather than freezing your browser.

Which browsers does the converter work in?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. It also needs WebAssembly, which all of those browsers include.

Who made this TIFF to PNG converter?
