Convert TIFF to WebP
TIFF is a high quality format used in printing, scanning and professional photography. Converting to WebP is a size decision: WebP reaches a comparable picture in a smaller file, which is why modern sites serve it. Worth knowing before you start: WebP is lossy, so the conversion trades some detail for a smaller file. Keep the TIFF original if you may need to edit it again. The conversion runs entirely in your browser: there is no upload, no file size limit and no watermark on the result.
Drop your TIFF files below and download WebP in seconds. Free, unlimited and completely private: the conversion runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device and are never uploaded to a server.

Why convert TIFF to WebP?
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.
Google designed WebP to replace both JPG and PNG on the web, and it typically compresses 25 to 35 percent smaller at similar quality. It handles both lossy and lossless modes and supports transparency. Support is excellent in browsers but still patchy in older desktop software.

What changes when you convert TIFF to WebP
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| Image quality | Reduced, by however much you choose. WebP is lossy; the quality control above sets the trade. Keep the TIFF original if you may need to edit it again. |
| Transparency | Kept. WebP 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 WebP 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. TIFF files here are single images. |
| File size | Smaller in almost every case, which is the reason for the conversion. How much smaller depends on the picture, so no figure is quoted here. |
