Convert TIFF to PNG — Free, No App
Convert .tif and .tiff images to PNG locally in your browser. Works on Android and desktop. No uploads — your files stay on your device.
TIFF (TIF) is common in scanning, printing, and archiving because it can preserve very high detail and store extra data. The downside is that TIFF files can be large and not every app handles them smoothly — especially on mobile.
PNG is a widely supported, lossless format that keeps text and sharp edges crisp, making it ideal for web use and sharing. With SnapConvert, the conversion runs locally in your browser — no installs, no account, and no uploads.
How to convert TIFF to PNG with SnapConvert
- Select your .tif or .tiff file.
- Start Conversion.
- Preview the result and press Download PNG.
Best use cases for TIFF to PNG
Use this tool when you need a clean, widely compatible image from a high-detail TIFF — for example, sharing scans, uploading to websites, adding images to documents, or sending files on Android where TIFF support can be limited. PNG stays lossless and keeps sharp edges and text crisp. If your TIFF is extremely large, consider converting to JPG when you don’t need transparency, and keep the original TIFF as your archive/master file.
Why convert TIFF to PNG?
- Compatibility: PNG opens easily on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and most web apps.
- Great for websites: PNG is a standard format for online publishing and sharing.
- Lossless output: PNG preserves sharp edges and fine detail, which is excellent for scans, text, UI, and screenshots.
- Often smaller: Many scanned TIFFs are very large; PNG can reduce size while keeping strong quality.
When you should NOT use this converter
This tool is perfect for everyday sharing and web use, but you may want a different workflow in these cases:
- Professional printing: If your image is part of a print pipeline (CMYK, special profiles), keep the original TIFF for final production.
- Multi-page scans: This converter supports multi-page TIFFs. Use the Page selector to export a single page as PNG, or choose Download all pages (ZIP) to export every page at once.
- Advanced metadata needs: TIFF can store extensive tags. PNG focuses on the final raster image.
Common issues and quick fixes
Colors look different
If a file uses CMYK or an embedded color profile, colors may shift after conversion. If accuracy matters, export the image as RGB first in an editor and then convert again.
Conversion feels slow
High-resolution scans can be memory-heavy. Try a smaller file, reduce resolution, or run the conversion on desktop for more available RAM.
My file has multiple pages
Your TIFF contains multiple pages. Use the Page dropdown to pick which page to export, or click Download all pages (ZIP) to get one PNG per page in a single ZIP file.
Privacy and security
SnapConvert is designed to run locally in your browser whenever possible. That means your TIFF to PNG conversion happens on your device, not on our servers—useful for private scans, documents, and client files.
TIFF vs PNG: quick comparison
TIFF is built for high-fidelity workflows (scans, print, archiving) and can store extra data like color profiles and tags. PNG is optimized for everyday web and app use: it’s widely supported, lossless, and can support transparency. Keep TIFF as your master file for print/archiving, and export to PNG when you need a clean, compatible image for sharing or publishing.

Yes. It’s free to use and works directly in your browser.
Does it work on Android?
Yes. The tool is mobile-friendly and works on modern Android browsers.
Will PNG keep the same quality after converting TIFF to PNG?
