Convert PNG to TIFF
PNG moves into TIFF without losses: transparency survives and the compression stays, so the file does not balloon.
Convert PNG to TIFF to meet someone else's requirements: a print shop, an editorial office or a document archive takes layouts and scans in TIFF and sends PNG back.
What happens when you convert PNG to TIFF
The picture moves across without losses: the same pixels, the same width and height, the same colours. Transparent areas stay transparent, and the alpha channel is written into the file.
The compression is kept as well: a TIFF made from a PNG comes out losslessly compressed, so the result stays close to the source in weight instead of ballooning the way TIFFs from uncompressed formats do.
- Screenshots, diagrams and logos on a transparent background lose neither sharpness nor background.
- The file is accepted by prepress tools and archive systems.
- For a website or a messenger TIFF is more than you need, and PNG stays the handier format.
If compatibility with old equipment matters more, see the PNG to BMP converter. For publishing and email, take the PNG to JPG converter.
How to convert
- Upload your PNG file to this page.

- Download the TIFF and pass it on where it is expected.
Frequently asked questions
Does the transparent background survive?
Yes, transparency is carried into the file. Any program that handles transparency in TIFF will show it.
Will the file get noticeably heavier?
No. The image stays losslessly compressed, so the weight remains close to the original PNG.
