Why convert TIFF to PNG?
Switching from TIFF helps you avoid produces large file sizes, especially when uncompressed. PNG excels at lossless compression that preserves sharp edges and text perfectly, making it a better fit when clients or platforms expect user interface assets, logos, and icons that need crisp edges.
Portable Network Graphics also offers full alpha transparency support, including partial transparency (alpha channel). That means your converted files stay useful for user interface assets, logos, and icons that need crisp edges and charts, diagrams, and text-heavy graphics shared online.
TIFF strengths
- High-precision storage with optional lossless compression for archival use
- Supports multi-page documents, layers, and embedded color profiles
- Compatible with CMYK workflows and professional printers
PNG advantages
- Lossless compression that preserves sharp edges and text perfectly
- Full alpha transparency support, including partial transparency (alpha channel)
- Widespread browser and operating system support without additional codecs
Key differences
| Feature | TIFF | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy or lossless | Lossless |
| Transparency / Alpha | Supports alpha channel | Supports alpha channel |
| Typical file size | Varies (depends on chosen codec) | Moderate (lossless compression) |
| Best suited for | Archiving master images from scanners and DSLRs and Prepress workflows requiring CMYK or spot color management | User interface assets, logos, and icons that need crisp edges and Charts, diagrams, and text-heavy graphics shared online |
| Standard | Open, royalty-free specification | Open, royalty-free specification |
Before you convert
- Keep a backup of your original file before converting so you can roll back if needed.
- Review known pain points: Web browsers and lightweight viewers provide inconsistent support. Adjust your source file accordingly.
Quality tips
- Use the resize controls to match the pixel dimensions your project actually needs.
- Preview the background fill—set it to white, black, or brand colors so transparent elements look intentional.
- Download the result immediately and open it in the target application to verify everything matches expectations.
Where PNG fits best
Once you have the converted file, you can plug it straight into user interface assets, logos, and icons that need crisp edges, charts, diagrams, and text-heavy graphics shared online, and images requiring transparent backgrounds or compositing in design workflows. PNG is the format teams expect in those environments, so you spend less time re-exporting or explaining compatibility issues.
Common PNG use cases
- User interface assets, logos, and icons that need crisp edges
- Charts, diagrams, and text-heavy graphics shared online
- Images requiring transparent backgrounds or compositing in design workflows

Frequently asked questions
Does converting TIFF to PNG reduce quality?
No—PNG preserves the original fidelity. You still want to open the converted file once to confirm fonts, colors, or audio loudness survived the transfer.
Is there a file size limit for converting TIFF?
Yes—uploads up to 150 MB convert reliably in the browser. For larger assets, split them into smaller segments first so the process stays responsive.
