TIFF to PNG Converter
Convert TIFF scans, graphics and archive images to PNG — lossless like TIFF, but supported by every browser, website and app.
JPG photos are placed in the PDF exactly as they are (no quality loss), so metadata such as the location stays inside the PDF. To remove it first, use Remove EXIF Data.
How to convert TIFF to PNG
- Drop one or more TIFF files into the box above — or click to choose them.
- Each file is converted to PNG straight away, right on your device.
- Download a single file, or all of them at once as a ZIP.
Why convert TIFF to PNG?
- Lossless for normal 8-bit TIFFs — the pixel values are kept exactly (16-bit files are reduced to 8-bit, see below).
- Transparency (alpha channel) in TIFF files is preserved.
- PNG displays in every web browser, unlike TIFF.
What this converter accepts and produces
| Input | TIFF and TIF files (uncompressed and LZW-compressed files were tested; other common compressions use the same decoder). Grayscale, palette and RGB(A) images. |
|---|---|
| Output | PNG with 8 bits per channel (RGBA), lossless. |
| Color depth | 16-bit TIFFs are reduced to 8 bits per channel. CMYK and other color models are converted to RGB without a color profile, so colors can shift slightly. |
| Pages | Only the first full-size page of a multi-page TIFF is converted. Small thumbnail pages are skipped. |
| Metadata | Not copied: no embedded color profile, camera data or DPI label is carried into the PNG. |
| Size limit | The size is checked from the file header before the picture is unpacked. Very large scans are refused with a message instead of freezing the page. |
TIFF vs PNG at a glance
| Property | TIFF | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Usually uncompressed or lossless (LZW, ZIP) | Lossless — every pixel is kept exactly |
| Transparency | Yes (optional alpha channel) | Yes (full alpha channel) |
| File size | Very large | Much larger than JPG for photos, small for simple graphics |
| Compatibility | Print, scanning and archiving software; most web browsers do not display it | Opens everywhere |
| Best for | Printing, scanning and archiving | Screenshots, logos, graphics with text or transparency |

Frequently asked questions
Is TIFF to PNG lossless?
The PNG step itself loses nothing, and a normal 8-bit RGB or grayscale TIFF keeps its pixel values exactly. It is not “every pixel in every case”: a 16-bit TIFF is reduced to 8 bits per channel, and a TIFF in another color model (CMYK, for example) is converted to RGB without its color profile. See the table above for the details.
Why is the PNG smaller than my TIFF?
Many TIFFs are stored uncompressed. PNG compresses without losing anything, so it is often 2–3× smaller.
Are my scans uploaded?
No. The TIFF decoder runs in your browser; documents never leave your device.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to Imgovo or anyone else.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many images as you like. They are converted one after another, and you can download each file or all of them together as a ZIP.
Can I undo a change?
Yes. Undo and Redo appear above the list once you add files (or press Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z). They bring back a file you removed, undo “Clear all” and return to the previous quality or format — files are converted again automatically when needed.
Is the converter free?
Yes — free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
