Compression Method

None Uncompressed, largest file

LZW Lossless, good compression Recommended

ZIP/Deflate Lossless, best compression

JPEG Lossy, smallest file

Resolution (DPI)

Custom: DPI

300 DPI is standard for print. Use 72 for web, 600+ for high-quality prints.

Bit Depth

8-bit is standard. Use 16-bit for professional editing with wider color range.

Transparency preserved: TIFF supports alpha channels. Your transparent PNGs will maintain their transparency in the converted files.

How to Convert PNG to TIFF

Upload your PNG images by dragging and dropping or clicking the upload area. You can select up to 10 files at once for batch processing.

Choose compression method: Select None for maximum quality, LZW for good lossless compression, ZIP for best lossless compression, or JPEG for smallest files.

Set resolution: Choose 300 DPI for standard print quality, or adjust based on your needs. Use our Image Resizer if you need to change dimensions.

Convert and download: Click convert and download individual files or all as a ZIP archive.

Pro tip: Use our PNG Analyzer to check your image properties before converting, or try Compress PNG if file size is a concern.

PNG vs TIFF Comparison

PNG

Excellent for web graphics with lossless compression and transparency support. Widely compatible but not ideal for print workflows. Consider our PNG to WebP converter for even better web compression.

TIFF

Industry standard for print production and professional photography. Supports multiple compression methods, layers, and high bit depths. Perfect for archiving and when maximum quality is required. Check out our TIFF converter tools for more options.

Understanding TIFF Compression

None

Uncompressed: Maximum quality with no data loss. Largest file sizes. Best when you need to preserve every detail and file size is not a concern. Ideal for archival purposes.

LZW

Lossless compression: Reduces file size without any quality loss. Excellent compatibility with most software. Recommended for most use cases including print and professional work.

ZIP/Deflate

Best lossless compression: Similar to LZW but often achieves slightly better compression ratios. Excellent for images with large areas of solid color. Great for document archiving.

JPEG

Lossy compression: Smallest file sizes but with some quality loss. Only use when file size is critical and minor quality loss is acceptable. Not recommended for text or graphics.

DPI Settings Guide

72 DPI

Screen resolution. Use for web images, digital presentations, or when the image will only be viewed on screens. Smallest file size.

150 DPI

Good for draft prints, newspapers, and general purpose printing. Balances quality and file size.

300 DPI

Industry standard for professional printing. Use for brochures, magazines, business cards, and most commercial print work.

600+ DPI

High-resolution printing. Use for fine art prints, large format displays, or when extreme detail is required. Our Image Upscaler can help increase image resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

TIFF is the preferred format for professional printing and archiving. It offers superior flexibility with multiple compression options, supports high bit depths for professional color work, and is universally accepted by print shops and publishing software. If you need the image for web use instead, try our PNG to WebP or PNG to AVIF converters for better web optimization.

Yes! TIFF fully supports transparency through alpha channels. When you convert a PNG with transparent areas to TIFF, the transparency is preserved. This makes TIFF excellent for layered compositions and graphics that need transparent backgrounds.

For most purposes, LZW compression is recommended. It provides good file size reduction with zero quality loss and excellent compatibility. Use uncompressed (None) for archival purposes when maximum fidelity is required. ZIP compression works well for images with large solid color areas. Only use JPEG compression when file size is critical and some quality loss is acceptable.

300 DPI is the industry standard for professional printing and works well for most printed materials. Use 150 DPI for draft prints or when file size matters. For large format prints viewed from a distance, 150-200 DPI may be sufficient. For fine art or detailed prints, consider 600 DPI. Check out our Image Resizer if you need to adjust image dimensions for your print size.

16-bit color depth provides a much wider range of colors and is beneficial for professional photo editing, color-critical work, and images that will undergo extensive post-processing. For standard use, web graphics, and most printing needs, 8-bit color is sufficient and produces smaller files.

Each file can be up to 25MB in size, and you can upload up to 10 files at once. This limit accommodates high-resolution images while ensuring fast processing. For very large files, consider using our PNG Compressor before conversion.

Files are temporarily stored only during the conversion process and are automatically deleted within 24 hours. We don't keep copies of your images and don't use them for any other purpose. Your privacy is important to us.

When to Use TIFF Format

Professional Printing

TIFF is the standard format for commercial print production. Print shops prefer TIFF for its lossless quality and predictable output.

Document Archiving

Libraries, museums, and businesses use TIFF for long-term digital preservation due to its stability and widespread support.

Professional Photography

Photographers use TIFF for master files and client deliverables when maximum quality is required.

Graphic Design

Design professionals use TIFF for print-ready artwork, ensuring consistent quality from screen to print.
