TIFF to PNG24 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert PNG24 images like any PNG — to JPG for photos, WebP for the web. If your files are still in TIFF format, this page is the shortcut: TIFF is the standard format of the scanner, fax and print industries. It stores very high quality — usually lossless — and can hold multiple pages in one file, at the cost of large file sizes.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.
How TIFF compares to PNG24
| TIFF | PNG24 | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless (LZW/ZIP) or none | Lossless (DEFLATE) |
| Transparency | Supported (alpha channel) | Full alpha (8/16-bit) |
| Animation | Not supported | Only via APNG extension |
| Metadata | Rich tag system (EXIF, GeoTIFF) | tEXt chunks, ICC profile |
| Best for | Print, scanning, archival | Screenshots, logos, sharp graphics |

About the TIFF format
TIFF, introduced by Aldus in 1986 and maintained by Adobe since, is the workhorse of the scanning, printing and archiving industries. It is a tag-based container: baseline RGB, CMYK, grayscale and indexed color, compressed with lossless LZW or ZIP (or not at all), with 8- or 16-bit depth and even multiple pages in a single file. A scanned contract or a print-ready magazine page lives in TIFF.
Its historical weakness is dialect fragmentation: the tag system is so flexible that exotic TIFFs — GeoTIFFs, fax TIFFs, certain 16-bit CMYK variants — still trip up careless readers. Files are huge, and no browser displays TIFF natively, so it never escaped its professional niches.
+ Strengths
- ✓Lossless with up to 16-bit-per-channel depth
- ✓Multipage support — one file, many scans
- ✓CMYK and print-industry color handling
- ✓Rich, extensible tag metadata for archiving
! Limitations
- −Very large files, even compressed
- −Dialect fragmentation trips up simple readers
- −No native browser display
About the PNG24 format
PNG was created in 1996 as a free, open replacement for the patent-encumbered GIF, and it has been the reference lossless image format ever since. Pixels are compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm (the same one inside ZIP files), which reproduces the original image exactly — bit-for-bit — while supporting full 8-bit or 16-bit alpha transparency. Screenshots, logos, icons, charts and anything with text or sharp edges should live in PNG.
Because it never discards information, PNG files of photographs are several times larger than JPG — that is the price of perfection. Modern PNG encoders add filters per scanline that make screenshots and flat-color graphics compress surprisingly well. PNG also became the base of APNG, the animation extension that browsers play natively.
+ Strengths
- ✓Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was
- ✓Full alpha transparency with smooth edges, not 1-bit masks
- ✓Open standard, unpatented, with excellent tooling everywhere
- ✓Ideal for text, line art and flat-color graphics — sharp edges stay sharp
! Limitations
- −Photographs become several times larger than JPG
- −Base format has no animation (that is the APNG extension)
- −16-bit or high-resolution PNGs can grow very heavy
Why convert TIFF to PNG24?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of PNG24 meet what TIFF cannot give you. Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was Meanwhile Very large files, even compressed One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this TIFF to PNG24 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting TIFF to PNG24?
No — PNG24 is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original TIFF file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will transparent areas survive the conversion to PNG24?
Transparency is kept whenever PNG24 actually supports an alpha channel. If the target format has none (like JPG), transparent areas are flattened onto a white background — that is a property of the format, not of this tool.
Can I convert several TIFF files at once?
Yes — drop as many files as you like into the tool and they are converted in one batch. When more than one file comes out, everything is bundled into a ZIP for a single download.
