Free TIFF to PNG converter online
Need a PNG instead of a TIFF? This free converter turns TIFF files into PNG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
TIFF is the workhorse format of scanners, printers, publishers and photo archives. It can store images uncompressed or with lossless compression, several pages in one file, and lots of metadata. TIFF files are huge and most browsers, phones and websites can't display them, so they usually need converting before sharing online.
PNG is a lossless format: it never throws image data away, so text and sharp edges stay crisp and it supports full transparency. The trade-off is file size: a photo saved as PNG is often 5 to 10 times bigger than the same photo as JPG. PNG files can hold hidden text chunks with software names, authors and dates.
