Why convert PNG to TIFF?

TIFF is the standard for print production, scanning, publishing, and archival master copies, where lossless fidelity matters more than file size.

Does TIFF output keep transparency?

Yes. Output is uncompressed 8-bit RGBA, preserving alpha from the source PNG.

Why is the TIFF file so much larger than the PNG?

This tool writes uncompressed TIFF. PNG uses deflate compression; TIFF here does not.

Will every TIFF reader open this file?

It is a standard baseline uncompressed TIFF, which is broadly supported by image-editing and viewing software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser and does not upload your file to Looty Tools servers.

Transparency and file size

TIFF output is uncompressed 8-bit RGBA, so an alpha channel from the source PNG is preserved. Because there is no compression, the resulting file can be several times larger than the source PNG.

Privacy

Conversion runs locally in your browser. The file is not uploaded to Looty Tools servers for this workflow.
