Quick answer: To convert PNG to TIFF, add the PNG file to the iHateFiles PNG to TIFF converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. A straight swap between two raster formats, at full resolution.

Should you convert PNG to TIFF?

A safe conversion: PNG and TIFF are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.

Nothing is discarded

PNG and TIFF are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.

What usually goes wrong

About the PNG. People save photographs as PNG and wonder why an email bounces. A photo that is 400 KB as a JPG is routinely 4 MB as a PNG, because lossless compression cannot do much with the noise in a real photograph.

About the TIFF. Because TIFF can contain many different compressions, a file that one program writes is occasionally one another program cannot read. Converting it to PNG settles the argument.

How to convert PNG to TIFF

  1. Add your PNG file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
  2. Check the settings. The output format is already set to TIFF.
  3. Press convert and the TIFF file is saved back to your device.

Questions

How do I convert PNG to TIFF?

Open this page, add your PNG file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Is this PNG to TIFF converter free?

Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.

Will converting to TIFF lose quality?

TIFF is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.

Can I convert several PNG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
