Convert TIFF to PNG
TIFF is what scanners, fax archives, and print workflows produce, and it's a poor fit for anything else — most browsers won't display a .tif, and plenty of upload forms reject the extension outright. PNG keeps the image lossless while making it usable on the web. Conversion runs entirely on your device.

How it works
- 1
Add TIFF files
Drop, pick or paste — batch conversion is supported.
- 2
Conversion runs locally
Each file is decoded and re-encoded as PNG in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- 3
Adjust if needed
Lossless output — no quality settings needed.
- 4
Download
Single files or everything as a ZIP.
Why convert TIFF to PNG?
- The PNG displays in every browser and is accepted by web forms that reject TIFF.
- Lossless output preserves scan detail — important for documents and archival material.
- Usually a smaller file than an uncompressed TIFF of the same image.
- Free and private, with the file never leaving your machine.
Good to know
- Multi-page TIFFs convert their first page; additional pages in the file are not included in the PNG.
- For standard TIFFs the conversion is lossless — the PNG preserves the decoded pixels exactly.
- Transparency, where a TIFF contains it, is carried into the PNG.
- High bit-depth TIFFs (such as 16 bits per channel from some scanners) are converted to standard 8-bit PNG, which is what screens and browsers display anyway.
- Uncompressed TIFFs shrink considerably as PNG; TIFFs already using internal compression change less.
Your images stay private
Your images are processed on your device and are not uploaded to PNGful.All processing happens locally using your browser's own image engine — there is no upload step, no server-side queue, and nothing to delete afterwards. Read more in our privacy policy.
Frequently asked questions
My TIFF has multiple pages — what happens to them?
The first page is converted and the rest are left out, since PNG is a single-image format. If you need other pages, extract them individually first, or use a PDF-oriented tool for multi-page documents.
Is the conversion lossless?
Yes for typical TIFFs — PNG stores the decoded image exactly, with no compression artifacts introduced. One nuance: 16-bit-per-channel TIFFs are reduced to the standard 8 bits per channel, which matches what any screen shows but matters if you're doing high-end print or scientific work.
Why won't my browser or phone show the TIFF directly?
TIFF was designed for print and scanning pipelines, not the web, and mainstream browsers never adopted it. Converting to PNG is the standard way to make a TIFF viewable and shareable outside specialist software.
Will the PNG be smaller than the TIFF?
Usually, sometimes dramatically — many TIFFs are stored uncompressed or lightly compressed. If the TIFF already used strong internal compression, the PNG may end up a similar size. Either way, no image quality is sacrificed.
Are scanned documents kept private?
Yes. The TIFF is decoded and the PNG encoded entirely in your browser, with nothing transmitted to a server — a meaningful point when converting scans of contracts, IDs, or medical records.
