A Note About Format Names

TIF and TIFF are the same format under two filename extensions. Files named TIF open and process identically to their TIFF counterparts.

Why Convert TIF to PNG?

The conversion runs on a server using the Portable Network Graphics encoder, which means you get a genuine PNG file rather than a repackaged one. TIF is the shorter three-letter extension of the same TIFF format used in print and photography. Both extensions describe identical image data; only the filename convention differs. PNG is a lossless raster format that keeps every pixel intact and supports full alpha transparency, which makes it the go-to choice for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges.

Benefits of PNG Conversion

  • Lossless output quality: PNG is a lossless format, so the converted image keeps the original pixel data without compression artifacts.
  • Transparency is preserved: PNG supports alpha transparency, so transparent areas from the original TIF image carry over to the result.
  • Privacy-friendly processing: Your image is processed in memory and deleted after the download. Nothing is stored on the server and no account is required.
  • No software installation: Everything happens online in your browser. You can convert on any device with a modern browser — desktop, tablet, or phone.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

  • Metadata such as EXIF data is stripped from the output by default, so camera details and location information are not carried into the converted file.

Conversion Questions

Are my images saved or shared?

No. Uploads are processed in memory and discarded immediately after conversion. The server does not store, log, or reuse your images.

Will my photo metadata (EXIF) be kept?

No. Metadata is stripped from converted files by default for privacy, so camera settings and location data are not included in the output.

Will the converted image look different?

Minor differences are normal when the target format uses lossy compression. Use a higher quality setting to keep more detail, or convert from the original file rather than a previously compressed one.

What are the upload limits?

Files must be 10 MB or smaller and no larger than 40 megapixels. Larger images are rejected to keep processing fast and safe.
