What changes when you convert TIFF to PNG
- Both formats are lossless, so the pixels in the PNG file are identical to the TIFF source. Only the container and compression method change.
- Transparency is preserved: PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds from TIFF stay transparent.
- PNG compresses more efficiently than TIFF, so the converted file is usually noticeably smaller at similar visual quality.
- Compatibility improves: PNG opens in more browsers, apps and operating systems than TIFF.
About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible raster format created by Aldus and now maintained by Adobe. It supports high bit depths, layers of metadata, multiple pages and lossless compression.
- Best for
- Professional photography, print production, scanning, archiving and GIS imagery.
- Strengths
- Lossless, high bit depth, rich metadata, accepted by print shops.
- Limitations
- Very large files and almost no browser support — only Safari displays TIFF natively.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster format created as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It supports full alpha transparency and up to 16 bits per channel.
- Best for
- Screenshots, logos, UI graphics, diagrams and any image that needs a transparent background or pixel-perfect edges.
- Strengths
- Lossless quality, full transparency, opens everywhere.
- Limitations
- Photos produce large files compared with JPG, WebP or AVIF.

Is the TIFF to PNG conversion really free?
Yes. ConverterUp is fully free, with no signup, no watermarks, and no daily quota for the TIFF to PNG converter. We support the project through unobtrusive ads.
Are my TIFF files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. The TIFF bytes never leave your device, and we have no upload endpoint at all.
What is the maximum file size?
For TIFF input, the soft cap is 50 MB for images and 500 MB for video. Practical performance depends on your device's RAM.
Does converting TIFF to PNG reduce quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly.
Does PNG keep the transparent background of my TIFF?
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so transparency from the TIFF file is preserved.
