Why Convert PNG to TIFF?
TIFF is a professional, archival-grade format used in imaging and print:
- Lossless options: Keep a clean master without introducing new artifacts.
- Print-ready: Great for high-resolution output and prepress workflows.
- Alpha support: Can preserve transparency (reader-dependent).
- Editing-friendly: Stable for repeated saves and hand-offs.

- File size: Depends on image content; TIFF can be larger or similar to PNG.
- Transparency: Both can include alpha (viewer support may vary for TIFF).
- Best for: PNG for web delivery; TIFF for editing, print, and archiving.

Troubleshooting
- File too large: TIFF is heavier for some content — keep PNG for web or consider WebP/AVIF.
- Alpha not visible: Some viewers ignore TIFF alpha; verify in a pro editor.
- Color shift: Convert to sRGB before upload for consistent on-screen color.
- Upload fails: Ensure PNG ≤ 16 MB.
- Yes, the converter is completely free with no hidden charges or subscriptions.
- TIFF is widely supported in professional apps (Photoshop, Affinity, many RIP/print tools). Some simple viewers may not display alpha or certain compression methods.
- It varies by image. With LZW/ZIP, TIFF can be similar or larger than PNG depending on content.
- You can upload images up to 16 MB per file.
- Files are processed automatically and not retained longer than necessary for conversion.
- This page converts one file at a time. For bulk needs, repeat the process or use a batch tool.
- Standard TIFF is flat. Some apps embed private layer data, but this tool outputs a flat TIFF.
TIFF phù hợp lưu trữ/ấn loát nhưng có thể nặng. Cho web, cân nhắc PNG/WebP/AVIF.
