Upload a .tif or .tiff image, choose optional width, height, and PNG compression settings, then start the conversion. When processing finishes, download the converted PNG file.
TIFF to PNG Converter
Convert a TIFF or TIF image to PNG, with optional resizing up to 8192 px and PNG compression settings.
What This TIFF to PNG Converter Does
This tool converts a single TIFF image into a PNG file. TIFF is often used for scans, print workflows, archives, and high-detail source files, but it is not accepted by every browser, form, editor, or document tool. PNG is easier to use across everyday web and office workflows.
The output is not a renamed file. The converter reads the uploaded TIFF image, applies your optional size and PNG compression settings, and exports a downloadable PNG file.
| Input | Output | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| .tif image | .png image | A TIF file is converted into a PNG file |
| .tiff image | .png image | A TIFF file is converted into a PNG file |
| Large TIFF image | Resized PNG | Width and height can be set up to 8192 px |
| TIFF source file | PNG output | The result is easier to use in browsers, documents, and upload forms |
Use this page when the source is TIFF or TIF and the required result is PNG. If you need another output format, use a converter that matches that target format instead of trying to make this page handle a different task.
How to Convert TIFF to PNG - Step by Step
1
Upload your TIFF or TIF file
Choose a file with a .tif or .tiff extension, or drag it into the upload area. The upload field is scoped to TIFF input for this conversion workflow.
2
Keep the original size or set dimensions
Leave width and height blank to keep the original image size. Enter a width, height, or both when the PNG needs to fit a specific layout, form, document, or pixel requirement. The current size fields accept values from 1 to 8192 pixels.
3
Choose PNG compression
PNG compression controls how the PNG file is optimized. Level 0 favors faster processing, level 6 is the balanced default, and level 9 attempts stronger compression when a smaller PNG file matters more than conversion speed.
4
Convert and download the PNG
Start the conversion, wait for processing to finish, and download the .png result. The converted file can then be used in apps and platforms that support PNG more reliably than TIFF.
Convert .TIF to .PNG and .TIFF to .PNG
TIF and TIFF refer to the same image format. The shorter .tif extension is common in older systems and some scanner workflows, while .tiff is the longer extension. This page accepts both extensions for the same TIFF to PNG conversion task.
| Source extension | Supported here? | Output |
|---|---|---|
| .tif | Yes | .png |
| .tiff | Yes | .png |
| .png | No | PNG input is not supported on this page |
| Multi-format uploads | No | Use the tool that matches the actual source format |
If you searched for tif to png, .tif to png, or .tiff to png, this is the correct workflow as long as your source file is a TIFF image and your target file is PNG.
TIFF vs PNG: Why Convert?
The useful difference is practical. TIFF is common for high-detail source images, scanning, print preparation, and archive workflows. PNG is usually easier to use when the next step is a website, document, presentation, upload form, or general image editor.
| Format | Often used for | Practical trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| TIFF | Scans, print workflows, archives, high-detail source files | Strong source format, but not accepted everywhere |
| PNG | Web graphics, documents, screenshots, transparent-capable images | Broad compatibility, but can still be large |
Convert TIFF to PNG when the next tool needs PNG compatibility. Keep the original TIFF when it is your archive, print source, or master file.
Size, Compression, and Quality Notes
PNG compression is not the same as JPG quality
PNG compression changes how the PNG data is packed. It does not use a JPG-style quality slider. A higher compression level may reduce file size, but it can take longer to process.
File size is not guaranteed to shrink
Some TIFF files are uncompressed and may become much smaller as PNG. Other TIFF files are already compressed or contain image data that does not compress much further. The final size depends on the source image, dimensions, and compression level.
Resize only when the next step needs it
For a clean first conversion, leave width and height blank. Resize during conversion when the PNG must match a required pixel size or when the original TIFF is larger than the final use case needs.
Do not expect new transparency or metadata preservation
This tool converts the image into PNG output. It is not a background remover, OCR tool, metadata copier, or TIFF editor. If the source has specialized TIFF metadata, layers, pages, or print-specific data, do not assume those details will carry into the PNG file.
Common Use Cases for TIFF to PNG
Uploading a scan to a website
Many forms accept PNG more consistently than TIFF
Adding an image to a document or slide
PNG is widely supported in office and design tools
Sharing a visual preview
PNG is easier for recipients to open without specialized software
Preparing a web graphic
PNG works in browsers and common CMS workflows
Keeping a simpler copy
PNG is useful as a working copy while the TIFF remains the source file
For format-specific work, keep the task narrow. Use this page for TIFF to PNG, and use a different converter when the source or target format is not part of this workflow.
TIFF to PNG Converter - Frequently Asked Questions
Use the same workflow as TIFF to PNG. TIF and TIFF are the same format, so you can upload a .tif file, adjust optional settings, and download a .png result.
A TIFF to PNG converter reads a TIFF image and exports the visible image as a PNG file. This is different from renaming the extension; the file data is converted into PNG format.
Yes. Upload the .tif file through this page, keep or adjust the image size, choose a PNG compression level, and download the .png output after conversion.
TIFF is often used for scans, print sources, and archive-quality image files. PNG is usually easier to open, upload, and place in documents or web pages. Convert to PNG when compatibility matters, and keep TIFF when you need the original source or archive file.
Sometimes, but not always. PNG compression can make some TIFF images smaller, especially if the TIFF was uncompressed. The result depends on the source image, dimensions, and selected compression level, so the page should not be treated as a guaranteed compression tool.
PNG is a lossless image format, so it is a good choice when you want a compatible output without JPG-style lossy compression. However, conversion can still change metadata, page structure, or other TIFF-specific details, so keep the original TIFF when those details matter.
Yes. You can enter a target width or height before conversion. Leave both fields blank to keep the original size, or set dimensions when the PNG must fit a specific pixel requirement.
Do not rely on this page for exporting every page from a multi-page TIFF. The tool is designed for single-image conversion. If a TIFF contains multiple pages, use a dedicated multi-page document or TIFF workflow when you need every page as a separate PNG.
TIFF files are uploaded to our server for conversion and scheduled for deletion within 24 hours. Use the converter for ordinary image tasks, and avoid uploading files that you are not comfortable processing through an online service.
