This converter needs JavaScript. It runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Looking for video or audio? Those live on the video pages. Word, Excel and other documents need a server-side engine, so I don't offer them — CloudConvert handles those.
Private by design
Files are read and written on your device. The page never uploads them, so there is nothing to delete later.
No limits, no watermark
Convert as many files as you like, as often as you like. There is no queue and no daily cap.
Fast and offline-capable
Your browser does the work, so a batch finishes in seconds and keeps working without a connection.

About converting PNG to TIFF
Nobody picks TIFF for the web, but plenty of places still ask for it: print shops, publishers, sign makers, archive submissions, fax and document systems, and older desktop software that never learned PNG. When a form says "TIFF only", this is the page for it.
Browsers can show images but cannot save TIFF files, so I wrote a small TIFF encoder that runs on this page. Your PNG is decoded by the browser, and the exact pixels are written out as a TIFF with lossless LZW compression, the same kind Photoshop uses by default. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is lost in the process.
Transparency carries over. A PNG with a transparent background becomes a TIFF with an alpha channel, and a fully opaque PNG becomes a plain RGB TIFF, which is what most print workflows expect.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting PNG to TIFF lose quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, and the converter writes every pixel exactly as it was in the PNG. The TIFF may be a little larger than the PNG, because LZW compresses less tightly than PNG’s own compression.
Does the TIFF keep the transparent background?
Yes. If the PNG has any transparency, the TIFF gets an alpha channel. Some print software ignores alpha and shows those areas as black or white, so if your printer wants a solid background, flatten the image first or convert to JPG.
What resolution (DPI) does the TIFF have?
The file is tagged at 72 DPI, the usual default. DPI is only a label: the pixel dimensions are what matter. A 3000 pixel wide image prints 10 inches wide at 300 DPI whatever the tag says, and print software lets you set the size on import.
Will the file open on Windows and Mac?
Yes. LZW-compressed TIFF is the most widely supported kind. It opens in Windows Photos, macOS Preview, Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, and Microsoft Office. Web browsers other than Safari cannot display TIFF, which is normal for the format.
Should I use .tif or .tiff?
They are the same format. The converter saves files as .tif, the extension Photoshop and most scanners use. You can rename it to .tiff if a form insists.
