THE FORMAT TRADE-OFF

TIFF to PNG: what changes?

Your TIFF source

The first TIFF page is decoded into display pixels, including alpha when the decoder provides it. Later pages are not read for export.

The PNG result

PNG keeps the decoded pixels without another lossy save and can preserve transparency when the source contains it.

PNG output can be much larger than a compressed TIFF. It is an 8-bit copy and does not carry all source color or editing information.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE

TIFF / TIF and PNG: choose the right result

A TIFF file may not be accepted by the app or upload form you need. TIFF to PNG creates a separate PNG copy while leaving your original file untouched.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Will every page of my TIFF be converted?

No. This tool exports only the first TIFF page. Keep the source when later pages matter.

What changes in TIFF to PNG?

PNG keeps the decoded pixels without another lossy save and can preserve transparency when the source contains it. The output uses 8-bit display pixels and does not carry TIFF print metadata.

What are the file limits?

Choose one standard TIFF file up to 25 MB. The first page must be no more than 12 million pixels and 65,535 pixels on either side. BigTIFF and some specialized print or RAW variants are not supported.

Does TIFF conversion upload my file?

No. A decoder downloads only after you run the tool. Processing takes place on your device; the selected TIFF is not uploaded.
