TIFF to PNG Converter — Free, Lossless, No Upload

TIFF is the gold standard for archival and print imaging, used extensively in professional photography, medical imaging, and document scanning. However, its sheer file size makes it impractical for everyday sharing and web use. A single TIFF exported from a flatbed scanner or from Lightroom Classic can exceed 50 megabytes, which makes uploading to Google Drive for collaboration, attaching to a Slack message, or embedding in a PowerPoint presentation genuinely painful.

PNG offers lossless compression that preserves every pixel value from the TIFF original while producing files that are substantially smaller. Unlike JPEG, PNG does not introduce compression artifacts, making it an excellent intermediate format when you need to share high-quality images without the file size burden of TIFF. Figma, Canva, Adobe XD, and virtually all design tools import PNG without friction. Web developers can serve PNG directly from a CMS or CDN, which is not practical with TIFF.

Converting TIFF to PNG produces an output that is pixel-perfect relative to the original, with no quality degradation whatsoever. Multi-page TIFF files will typically be split into individual PNG frames, since PNG does not support multiple pages. Very large TIFF files with 16-bit color depth may be downsampled to 8-bit during conversion, which could reduce the color range slightly. For most professional uses outside of print and archival storage, the resulting PNG files are indistinguishable from the TIFF source.

Typical sizes (12MP photo): TIFF 20–70 MB → PNG 8–25 MB.

Both formats keep every pixel, so the PNG looks the same as the TIFF.

On the free tier, PNG output has a repeating formatdrop.com watermark; Pro output doesn't.

Transparency is kept.
