Free TIFF to WebP converter online
Need a WebP instead of a TIFF? This free converter turns TIFF files into WebP 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.
WebP is a modern format created by Google for the web. It is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG and supports transparency and animation, which is why so many websites now serve it. The downside is compatibility: older versions of Photoshop, Windows Photo Viewer, many printers and lots of upload forms still cannot open WebP files.
