When a publisher or print shop asks for TIFF and your artwork is a PNG, this PNG to TIFF converter creates the TIFF in your browser. Transparency is kept where the format allows it.
Convert PNG to TIFF
Add your PNG files, check the settings and download them as TIFF. Batch conversion, no sign-up and no watermark.
PNG and TIFF are both lossless
Because both formats are lossless, converting PNG to TIFF does not reduce quality. The pixels are the same. What changes is compatibility: TIFF is the traditional format for prepress, scanning workflows and archives, while PNG is made for screens and the web.
Convert PNG to TIFF
- Add PNG files with drag and drop or “Choose files”.
- Select TIFF under “Convert to”.
- Use “Max width (optional)” only if the requirement allows a different size.
- Download each TIFF or use “Download all (ZIP)”.

When it makes sense
- A printer or magazine specifies TIFF delivery.
- You are building an archive of master images.
- A layout program asks for TIFF with transparency.
- You want one lossless format for scanned and digital artwork.
Check before sending
Confirm the print size, resolution and color mode with the recipient. This tool converts the format, but it does not change the resolution setting in the file or convert RGB to CMYK. If those matter, finish the file in a design application.
Troubleshooting
The TIFF is larger than the PNG
TIFF often compresses less efficiently. That is normal.
The printer says the resolution is low
A converter cannot add pixels. Export a larger PNG from your design tool.
Transparency is not accepted
Flatten the image onto a background color in an editor first.
Private
Files are converted in your browser and not uploaded. No account and no watermark.
Is PNG to TIFF lossless?
Yes. Both formats are lossless.
Does TIFF keep transparency?
TIFF can store transparency, and the tool keeps it where possible.
Why is the TIFF bigger?
TIFF often uses less efficient compression.
Does the tool convert to CMYK?
No. It does not change the color mode.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark.
