Pro Tips

  • Only uncompressed TIFF files can be read - compressed variants (LZW, ZIP, CCITT fax) will show a clear error
  • Since browsers can't display TIFF files natively, this tool includes its own TIFF reader built from the file format specification
  • Both grayscale and RGB/RGBA TIFF files are supported
  • The whole file is converted locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Most Popular

Most users convert scanned documents or print-ready TIFF files back to PNG for easy viewing

When to Use This Tool

Web Publishing

Convert TIFF images into PNG so they can be displayed directly in a web browser, which can't render TIFF natively.

Scanned Document Sharing

Turn a TIFF scan into PNG for easier sharing with people who don't have specialized image software.

Universal Compatibility

Convert TIFF files into the widely-supported PNG format for use in any application or platform.

Print Asset Review

Preview print-ready TIFF artwork as PNG without needing professional image editing software installed.

How It Works

1

Read the uploaded TIFF file's image file directory (IFD) to detect its dimensions, compression, and pixel format

2

Verify the file is uncompressed, since only baseline uncompressed TIFF files can be decoded

3

Read the raw pixel data directly from the file according to its tag metadata

4

Draw the decoded pixels onto a canvas and encode it as a PNG image using the browser's native encoder

100% Private

Files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Lightning Fast

Powered by Custom TIFF decoder for optimal performance on modern browsers.

Secure

No data collection, no tracking, no sign-up required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this tool say my TIFF's compression isn't supported?

This tool only decodes uncompressed baseline TIFF files. Many TIFF files use LZW, ZIP, or CCITT fax compression, which require significantly more decoding logic and aren't currently supported.

What TIFF variants does this support?

Uncompressed grayscale, RGB, and RGBA TIFF files with 8 bits per channel are supported. Files with other bit depths or compression methods will show a clear error.

Why do I need a special tool for this instead of just opening the file?

Web browsers can't display TIFF images natively, unlike PNG, JPG, or BMP. This tool includes a custom TIFF reader so it can decode TIFF files without browser support.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire file is read, decoded, and converted locally in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.

What should I do if my TIFF fails to convert?

If your TIFF uses compression, try re-saving it as an uncompressed TIFF in an image editor first, or use a different source format if one is available.
