Overview

Easily convert your TIFF images to PNG format while maintaining high quality and transparency. This tool provides precise control over compression levels and metadata preservation, ensuring your output files are optimized for web use or digital storage.

When to Use

  • •When you need to convert high-resolution TIFF files into web-friendly PNG images.
  • •When you want to preserve transparency layers from your original TIFF files.
  • •When you need to optimize file size using adjustable lossless compression settings.

How It Works

  • •Upload your TIFF file using the file selector.
  • •Adjust the compression level and toggle adaptive filtering for optimal results.
  • •Choose whether to retain original image metadata.
  • •Click convert to process your file and download the resulting PNG.

Use Cases

Preparing professional print-ready TIFF graphics for web display.
Reducing storage footprint of archival image collections without sacrificing quality.
Converting multi-layered TIFF assets for use in web design projects.

Examples

1. Web Optimization for Print Graphics

Graphic Designer
Background
A designer has a large 50MB TIFF file intended for print that needs to be displayed on a website.
Problem
The TIFF file is too large for web loading and not natively supported by all browsers.
How to Use
Upload the TIFF, set compression to 9 for the smallest file size, and enable adaptive filtering.
Example Config
compressionLevel: 9, adaptiveFiltering: true
Outcome
A high-quality, web-optimized PNG file that loads quickly while maintaining visual fidelity.

2. Preserving Metadata for Archival

Photographer
Background
A photographer needs to convert a batch of scanned TIFF negatives to PNG for easier sharing.
Problem
The original camera settings and date information must remain attached to the files.
How to Use
Upload the TIFF file and ensure the 'Keep Metadata' checkbox is selected.
Example Config
keepMetadata: true
Outcome
A PNG file containing all original EXIF data, ready for digital archiving.

FAQ

Does this tool support transparency?

Yes, the converter fully supports transparency from your source TIFF files.

What does the compression level do?

A level of 0 is fastest with larger file sizes, while 9 provides the smallest file size with slower processing.

Can I keep my EXIF data?

Yes, enable the 'Keep Metadata' option to preserve original EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data.

Is the conversion lossless?

Yes, the tool uses PNG's native lossless compression algorithms to ensure no image quality is lost.

Is there a file size limit?

You can upload TIFF files up to 100MB in size.
