Why Convert TIFF to PNG?
PNG is a lossless raster format with alpha transparency, built around graphics, logos, and screenshots needing sharp, exact detail. Converting from TIFF — built around professional photography, scanning, and print production instead — closes that gap.
Our engine reads a file built around professional photography, scanning, and print production and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: lossless compression plus full alpha transparency support — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
TIFF is a flexible, lossless raster format, commonly used for professional photography, scanning, and print production. That focus comes with a real limitation: much larger file sizes than compressed formats like JPG. PNG doesn't share that problem — its strength: lossless compression plus full alpha transparency support.

Frequent Questions
Why does PNG exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using TIFF?
Because they're built for different jobs — TIFF is aimed at professional photography, scanning, and print production, while PNG is aimed at graphics, logos, and screenshots needing sharp, exact detail. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
What software works with the converted PNG file?
PNG is used by virtually every image editor and platform. If you were working with Photoshop, scanning software, and print workflows (which produces TIFF), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
Is this conversion free?
Yes — free for files up to 50MB, with a 100MB limit for registered accounts, no subscription required.
Can I convert the file back from PNG to TIFF afterward?
Only what PNG actually carries can come back — anything specific to TIFF's role in professional photography, scanning, and print production that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
