TIFF to PNG Converter

Convert TIFF images to PNG online for free. Use this converter when you need a lossless image output for editing, screenshots, sharp graphics, or transparent workflows.

Converting TIFF to PNG re-encodes the image into the PNG container while preserving resolution and color information. The trade-off depends on the target format: lossy targets (JPG, WebP) shrink file size; lossless targets (PNG, TIFF) preserve every pixel exactly.

Our engine converts your TIFF to PNG while preserving the original resolution and DPI. Alpha transparency and embedded colour profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB) are retained where the target format supports them.

Download the Converted Images

Download your converted PNG images individually or as a ZIP archive. Image quality is maintained at the original resolution — no downscaling or watermarks applied.

Why Convert TIFF to PNG

Alpha Transparency Support

PNG is the go-to format for images with transparent backgrounds. Logos, icons, overlays, and UI elements can be placed on any background color or pattern without a white box around them.

Lossless Image Quality

PNG compression is completely lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly as the original. No matter how many times you open, edit, and re-save a PNG file, quality never degrades.

Perfect for Screenshots

Text, code, UI elements, and sharp edges stay crisp in PNG because there are no compression artifacts. Screenshots converted to PNG remain perfectly readable at any zoom level.

Web Graphics Standard

PNG is the standard format for website graphics, icons, and illustrations. All browsers render PNG files with full transparency and color accuracy without any plugins or special handling.

16-Bit Color Depth

PNG supports up to 48-bit true color and 16-bit grayscale, capturing subtle gradients and color transitions that 8-bit formats cannot reproduce. Ideal for medical imaging, scientific data, and professional photography.
