| Description | TIF (or TIFF) is a versatile raster image format that supports lossless compression. Widely used in scanning, printing, and professional image processing. |
| Associated programs | Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, IrfanView, XnView |
| Developed by | Aldus Corporation, now Adobe |
| MIME type | image/tiff |

| Conversion type | TIF to PNG |
| File extension | .PNG |
| Category | Image File |
| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

TIFF is the professional standard for scanned documents, prepress artwork, and archival photography — but browsers, CMSs, and design tools don't accept TIFF. PNG is a lossless, web-native format that opens everywhere. Converting TIFF to PNG preserves every pixel without any quality loss while producing a file that works in any browser, image editor, and upload form.
TIFF and PNG are both lossless raster formats, but they were designed for different environments:
Converting TIFF to PNG is appropriate when you need lossless quality but also web or CMS compatibility.
| Property | TIFF | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | LZW, ZIP, CCITT G4, JPEG, uncompressed | Deflate (always lossless) |
| Lossless | Yes (most schemes) | Yes (always) |
| Alpha channel (transparency) | Yes | Yes |
| Multi-page support | Yes | No (one image per file) |
| CMYK support | Yes | No (RGB/grayscale only) |
| Browser support | None | Universal |
| Typical file size (A4 scan, 300 DPI) | 3–10 MB | 1–5 MB |
PNG does not support multiple pages, so each page of a multi-page TIFF is output as a separate PNG file with sequential numbering (page_001.png, page_002.png, etc.). For multi-page output as a single file, convert to PDF instead.
TIFF supports CMYK color used in professional print workflows, but PNG supports only RGB. When converting a CMYK TIFF to PNG, the converter performs a CMYK-to-RGB color space conversion. This may slightly shift highly saturated inks (cyan, magenta) because the RGB and CMYK gamuts do not overlap perfectly. For color-critical print-to-web repurposing, review the output visually.
