TIFF to PNG converts a large lossless scan or print master into a web-friendly graphic that keeps full quality and supports transparency.
What changes when you convert TIFF to PNG
Both TIFF and PNG are compressed image formats, so expect a small quality shift rather than a perfect copy. Start from the largest, highest-quality TIFF available to get the cleanest PNG result.
About the TIFF format
TIFF stores images with lossless (or uncompressed) data and supports layers, high bit depths, and CMYK, which is why it is a staple in publishing, scanning, and archiving. The trade-off is very large file sizes. In everyday use, TIFF is chosen for document and photo scanning, professional print and publishing masters and long-term archival of high-quality images. It opens in Windows Photos, macOS Preview, and professional imaging software.
About the PNG format
PNG uses lossless compression, so it never discards pixel data, and it supports an 8-bit alpha channel for smooth transparency. That makes it the standard choice for logos, icons, UI screenshots, and any graphic with crisp edges or text. In everyday use, PNG is chosen for logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It opens in all browsers, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, and every graphics editor.
TIFF vs PNG
TIFF is best known for lossless, high bit-depth quality, while PNG stands out for lossless quality with no compression artefacts. Choosing between them comes down to where the file needs to go next.
Common use cases
People convert TIFF to PNG for jobs such as logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It is especially common when a TIFF file arrives from one system but needs to work in another that standardises on PNG.
When to convert TIFF to PNG
Reach for TIFF to PNG when your destination expects PNG — for example logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It is the right move when you receive a TIFF file but the app, website, or person you are working with cannot use it. Bear in mind that much larger than JPG or WebP for photographs, so keep your original TIFF if you might need it again.
How to convert TIFF to PNG
- Upload your TIFF file to the converter at the top of this page - PNG is already selected as the output.
- Check the size limit shown on this page, then drag and drop or browse for your file.
- Confirm PNG is still the target format, or pick a different one from the grid.
- Start the conversion and download your PNG file the moment it is ready.
Quality tips
Always start from the largest, highest-quality TIFF you have. If PNG still needs to fit a size or pixel budget, run the result through our Compress or Resize tools rather than re-saving repeatedly, which degrades quality.
Platform compatibility
The TIFF to PNG converter runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS - anywhere with a modern browser, with no plugins or permissions required. Once exported, PNG opens in all browsers, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, and every graphics editor.

Troubleshooting
- If the file exceeds the limit shown below, compress images, trim video, or split archives before retrying.
- If conversion fails, confirm the extension matches the real format — renaming a file alone does not change its contents.
- SVG and HEIC inputs sometimes need a moment longer on the first conversion.
- Transparency does not survive every target format — use PNG or WebP if an alpha channel matters.
