Converts on your device — nothing is uploadedConvert JPG & PNG to TIFF — Free, Private, In Your Browser
This JPG and PNG to TIFF converter turns your images into a lossless TIFF file — the format professional print, publishing and archiving workflows expect. It runs entirely in your browser: your image is decoded and the TIFF is encoded on your own device, so nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is stored. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and nothing to install. Transparency from PNG files is preserved in the TIFF’s alpha channel.
How to Convert to TIFF
- Add your image — drag and drop a JPG or PNG onto the drop zone, click to browse, or paste from your clipboard. The original appears with its dimensions and file size.
- Convert — press Convert to TIFF. The image is re-encoded as a lossless TIFF locally, preserving every pixel (and any transparency).
- Download — press Download TIFF to save the print-ready file to your device.
What Is a TIFF File?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a lossless raster image format that stores every pixel exactly, with no compression artifacts. It has been the backbone of professional imaging for decades and remains the standard in printing, prepress, publishing, scanning, faxing and document archiving. Because it keeps the image pixel-perfect, TIFF is the go-to choice whenever quality must be preserved with no compromise.
Why Convert JPG or PNG to TIFF?
- Professional printing & prepress — print shops and publishers commonly require TIFF for reliable, high-quality output.
- Archiving & preservation — TIFF is a trusted long-term archival format because it stores images losslessly.
- Editing masters — a TIFF master can be edited and re-saved repeatedly with no cumulative quality loss.
- Scanning & document management — many scanners and document systems expect or prefer TIFF.
- Professional software — Photoshop, InDesign, GIMP and Affinity all work smoothly with TIFF.
Transparency Is Preserved
Unlike JPG, TIFF supports an alpha channel. So when you convert a PNG with a transparent background, that transparency is carried through into the TIFF. JPG images have no transparency to begin with, so they convert as fully opaque — exactly as expected.
A Note on File Size
TIFF here is written uncompressed and lossless, which means it stores every pixel exactly — so a TIFF is much larger than the same image as a JPG or PNG (often many times bigger). That is not a bug; it is the whole point of TIFF: maximum quality for print and archiving. If a small file is what you need, JPG, PNG or WebP is the better choice. If you need pixel-perfect quality for professional output, the larger TIFF is worth it.
Does Converting Improve Quality?
Converting to TIFF cannot restore detail that JPG compression already discarded — those pixels are gone. What it does is capture the image losslessly from this point on, with no further compression. That makes JPG or PNG to TIFF a sound archival and print-preparation step: from here, the image will not degrade any further no matter how many times it is opened and saved.
Is It Safe and Private?
Yes. Because everything happens locally in your browser, your image is never uploaded, never copied to a remote server, and never stored after you close the tab. That makes it a safe choice for confidential documents, client artwork, or print masters.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a JPG or PNG to TIFF?
Add your image, press Convert to TIFF, then Download TIFF. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Is this converter free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many images you convert.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.
What is TIFF used for?
TIFF is the standard for professional printing, publishing, photography, scanning and long-term archiving, because it stores images losslessly with no compression artifacts.
Does the TIFF keep transparency?
Yes. TIFF supports an alpha channel, so transparency from a PNG is preserved. JPG images are opaque and convert as-is.
Why is the TIFF so much larger?
It is uncompressed and lossless, storing every pixel exactly — which is why TIFF files are big. That is the trade-off for maximum quality.
Which programs open TIFF files?
Virtually all professional image software (Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, InDesign) plus the default image viewers on Windows and macOS.
