Why convert PNG to TIFF?
PNG stores every pixel exactly as it was saved, which makes it the safe choice whenever detail matters more than file size. It supports a full alpha channel, so logos and UI elements keep clean, soft edges on any background. The tradeoff is that photos saved as PNG can get large.
TIFF is the standard in print production, scanning and professional photography because it preserves full quality and supports multiple pages and high bit depths. Browsers cannot display TIFF, so converting is the quickest way to share one online.

What changes when you convert PNG to TIFF
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| Image quality | Identical. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel colour survives the trip exactly. |
| Transparency | Kept. TIFF stores an alpha channel, so cut-out backgrounds and soft edges survive. |
| EXIF and GPS | Removed. The conversion goes through a pixel buffer, so camera data and location are not carried into the TIFF file. |
| Colour profile | Not carried across. The image is handled in sRGB, which is right for the web and wrong for colour-managed print work. |
| Animation | Not applicable. PNG files here are single images. |
| File size | Larger, usually considerably. TIFF here is written without lossy compression. |
