What TIFF to PNG conversion does

Convert TIFF images — common from scanners, cameras, and print workflows — into PNG for editing and software that prefers lossless stills.

Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted. Additional pages are not extracted or included in the download.

How to convert TIFF to PNG

1. Choose a .tif or .tiff file.
2. Select Convert & download.
3. Save the .png file from your browser downloads.

Only the first page converts

TIFF files can store multiple pages or images in one container. This tool decodes and converts only the first page (the first IFD). If your TIFF has more than one page, the remaining pages are not converted, extracted, or zipped in this version of the tool.

PNG transparency and lossless encoding

PNG can store alpha. When the decoded TIFF page includes transparency, this tool does not paint a white background, so alpha can remain in the PNG. There is no quality slider because PNG encoding here is not lossy JPEG-style compression.

Privacy and local processing

• Processing occurs locally in the browser.
• Files are not uploaded to Looty Tools for conversion.
• Converted images remain on your device.

Limits and known issues

• Inputs: TIFF (.tif, .tiff) only, up to 25.0 MB and 8,192 px per side.
• Multi-page TIFF files: only the first page is converted. Additional pages are not extracted or included in the download.
• Decoding uses a browser-side TIFF library. Unusual compression schemes or corrupted files may fail.
• EXIF and other metadata are not preserved in the downloaded PNG.

TIFF to PNG FAQ

Can I convert multi-page TIFF files?

Only the first page (the first IFD) of a TIFF file is converted. Additional pages are not extracted, converted, or included in the download. Support for converting every page may be added later.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser using the TIFF decoding library already used elsewhere on Looty Tools. Your file is not uploaded to Looty Tools servers for this workflow.

Does PNG preserve transparency?

When the decoded TIFF page includes an alpha channel, PNG keeps it. This tool does not paint a white background because PNG supports transparency.

Will the PNG be larger than the TIFF?

It can be. PNG stores decoded pixels losslessly, so photographic TIFF files sometimes produce larger PNGs even though dimensions stay the same.

What TIFF files are accepted?

Files with a .tif or .tiff extension and a valid TIFF byte-order header (little-endian "II" or big-endian "MM") are accepted. Renamed or corrupted files are rejected before decoding.

Why did decoding fail?

Some uncommon TIFF compression schemes or corrupted files cannot be decoded by the browser-side TIFF library. Try re-exporting the file, or use image editing software that supports the specific TIFF variant.
