How to use TIFF to PNG Converter
- Drag a .tif or .tiff file onto the box, or click to choose one from your device.
- Wait a moment while the TIFF is decoded and rendered as a PNG preview; for multi-page files, pick a page from the dropdown.
- Click Download PNG to save the current page, or Download all pages to get every page as a ZIP.
About TIFF to PNG Converter
Most web browsers can't open TIFF files directly, so this tool includes its own TIFF decoder written in plain JavaScript. When you add a .tif or .tiff file, it reads the file structure, decompresses the image data, converts the pixels, and re-encodes everything as a standard PNG that any browser, phone, or app can open. PNG is lossless, so no visual quality is lost in the conversion.
It handles common baseline TIFFs: uncompressed, PackBits, LZW, and Deflate compression; grayscale, RGB, RGBA, palette-color, and CMYK images; and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16-bit depths. Multi-page TIFFs (like scanned documents) are split into one PNG per page — you can preview each page, download them individually, or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
Everything runs privately in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to a server and nothing is stored. Note that some specialized TIFFs are not supported: CCITT/fax Group 3 and 4 compression, JPEG-in-TIFF, and tiled (non-strip) TIFFs will report a clear message rather than a wrong result.
Frequently asked questions
- Why can't I just open a TIFF in my browser or drag it into an image editor?
- TIFF isn't a web format, so most browsers and many everyday apps refuse to display it. PNG is universally supported, which is why converting is usually the fastest way to view or share a TIFF.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your TIFF never leaves your device and nothing is saved after you close the page.
- Will converting to PNG lose quality?
- No. PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel from a standard TIFF is preserved exactly. 16-bit-per-channel TIFFs are converted down to 8-bit PNG (the standard PNG depth this tool outputs), which is imperceptible for normal viewing.
- It has several pages — can I convert all of them?
- Yes. Multi-page TIFFs, common for scanned documents and faxes, are decoded page by page. Pick a page to preview and download, or use the Download all pages button to get every page as a ZIP of PNGs.
- My TIFF gives an 'unsupported' message. Why?
- This tool supports baseline strip-based TIFFs with uncompressed, PackBits, LZW, or Deflate compression. CCITT/fax (Group 3/4), JPEG-compressed, and tiled TIFFs aren't decodable here and will show a clear message instead of a broken image.
- Does the file size get bigger?
- Sometimes. PNG uses lossless compression, so a photographic TIFF can produce a larger PNG than a heavily compressed source, while simple graphics often shrink. The result is always pixel-for-pixel identical to the original.
