Why use it
TIFF to PNG ready for the web
Web compatible
PNG displays directly in browsers and digital platforms. TIFF doesn't. Convert your scan to a universal format.
100% private
Your TIFF file converts in your browser. Never uploaded to any server. Ideal for confidential documents.
Lossless
TIFF and PNG are both lossless formats. Conversion preserves every pixel from the original exactly.
Instant
Conversion happens directly on your device with no waiting or queues.

FAQ
Got questions?
TIFF supports multiple compression schemes: uncompressed (largest files), LZW (moderate lossless compression), ZIP/Deflate, and others. Professional scanner TIFFs are frequently saved uncompressed for maximum fidelity. A 300 DPI TIFF of an A4 page can be 25-100 MB.
TIFF is not natively supported by browsers — you can't display a TIFF directly on a web page. PNG is universally supported and optimized for web transmission with Deflate compression. For any public digital use, PNG is the right choice.
Yes. Both TIFF and PNG are lossless formats. Converting TIFF to PNG does not degrade the image — every pixel from the TIFF is preserved exactly in the PNG. What changes is the compression method, which can reduce file size without affecting visual quality.
TIFFs can contain multiple pages in a single file (multi-page TIFF). This converter processes the first page of the TIFF. To extract specific pages from a multi-page TIFF, you would need a specialized tool.
Professional TIFFs often use 16 bits per channel to capture a greater dynamic range. Conversion to standard PNG converts to 8 bits per channel (the maximum most screens and programs handle). This slightly reduces the tonal range but is not perceptible on screen.
TIFF to PNG: from professional scanner to the modern web
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was developed in 1986 by Aldus Corporation (later acquired by Adobe) and Microsoft as a standard format for image exchange between desktop applications. It is the de facto format in professional scanners, print shops, medical imaging (radiology, histology), and scientific photography because it supports high color depth and multiple lossless compression schemes.
Web browsers don't support TIFF natively, making it impossible to display TIFF images directly on web pages or in most CMS platforms. PNG was designed specifically for web use: it supports lossless compression, alpha transparency, and has been natively implemented in all browsers since the 1990s. For any workflow moving from scanner to web, TIFF to PNG is the standard conversion.
Convertir.ai processes TIFF to PNG conversion directly in your browser. For large TIFF files (documents scanned at high resolution), conversion may take a few seconds depending on your device's hardware — everything happens locally without needing to upload files.
