Lossless PNG to TIFF for print and archives

PNG and TIFF are both lossless, so the converter copies every pixel exactly. Transparent backgrounds are kept as an alpha channel, which Photoshop, InDesign, Affinity and other layout programs read as transparency. The file uses LZW compression, accepted by every TIFF reader.

TIFF is still the standard in many print shops, publishing workflows and archives, and some upload forms for patents, scientific journals or document systems accept only TIFF. Pick the resolution they ask for: the DPI value is stored in the file and tells the printer the physical size, without resizing the image.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to TIFF?

Select one or more PNG images, choose the DPI and click Convert to TIFF. Each PNG becomes a TIFF file, and several files come together in a ZIP. Up to 20 images can be converted at once, free and without a watermark.

Does the TIFF keep the transparent background?

Yes. If the PNG has transparent areas, the TIFF gets an alpha channel and keeps them. Images without any transparency are saved as plain RGB, which keeps the file smaller.

Does changing the DPI change the image size?

No pixels are added or removed. The DPI value only tells printers and layout software how many pixels to put in each inch, so a 2400-pixel-wide image is 8 inches wide at 300 DPI and 4 inches wide at 600 DPI.

Why would a journal or patent office ask for TIFF?

TIFF is a stable, lossless format that print and archive systems have supported for decades, so many submission rules still require it, often at 300 or 600 DPI for figures and drawings. This tool produces files that meet those requirements.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Images are decoded and converted inside your browser on your own device, so scans of documents and private photos are never sent to us or stored anywhere. Once the page has loaded it keeps working even without an internet connection.
