No-upload TIFF to PNG converter
Drop a batch of .tif files, export every multipage TIFF page as its own PNG labeled “page X of N,” then download each file or grab a ZIP — all without uploading.
Most TIFF to PNG converter sites ask you to upload scans to a remote server; SnapShrink keeps every byte in your browser tab. That privacy difference matters for contracts, medical scans, and client proofs. Here the decoder (UTIF.js) runs locally, the PNG encode uses canvas, and DevTools shows zero POSTs of image data.
TIFF and PNG basics
TIFF and PNG are both raster formats, but TIFF leans print and archival while PNG leans web sharing.
What is a TIFF file?
A TIFF file is a flexible raster container used for scans, print masters, and archival photos that often keep lossless data, layers, or CMYK. Photographers and labs still ship TIFFs when the workflow expects print-ready fidelity. The format can hold one page or many pages in a single .tif / .tiff file, which is why converters must export every page honestly.
What is a PNG file?
A PNG file is a lossless web-friendly image format that browsers, chat apps, and design tools open without special codecs. PNG stores RGB (and alpha) pixels, not CMYK press plates. SnapShrink’s TIFF to PNG path exists so you can share or upload a scan where TIFF is rejected, not to magically shrink a compressed TIFF. Expect PNG files to stay sharp after conversion, even when the byte size grows.
How to open TIFF files
You can open TIFF files in Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Preview on Mac, or the Photos app on many Windows PCs when the codec is available. When a browser or upload form rejects TIFF, convert the file to PNG in SnapShrink first, then resize or shrink the result with the compress image online tool if the destination still needs a smaller file.
How to convert TIFF to PNG online
Convert TIFF to PNG online in three steps inside SnapShrink’s app — PNG output is pre-selected from this page.
- Open the SnapShrink tool with PNG selected.
- Drop one or more
.tif/.tifffiles — multi-page TIFFs expand into every page. - Download PNGs individually or as a ZIP when the batch finishes.

Multipage TIFF to PNG — every page exported
A multipage TIFF to PNG conversion in SnapShrink exports all pages, each named “page X of N.”
Scan stacks and fax TIFFs often store many pages in one file. Tools that only save the first IFD hide the rest. SnapShrink decodes each image directory and refuses to pretend a multi-page file was a single PNG.
TIFF vs PNG — when to keep TIFF
Keep TIFF for print and archival workflows; choose PNG when you need web-friendly, widely opened files.
| Keep TIFF when… | Prefer PNG when… |
|---|---|
| Print / prepress pipelines expect TIFF | You need a format every browser and chat app opens |
| You still need layers, CMYK, or lab-specific tags | You’re sharing proofs on the web or in email |
| Archival masters should stay lossless with print metadata | You want a single-page raster without proprietary viewers |
PNG is lossless, so converting a compressed TIFF can make a bigger file. Convert for compatibility, not to save disk space. CMYK TIFFs may show slight color shifts after conversion because PNG is an RGB format — soft-proof critical print colors before you discard the TIFF master. The Library of Congress TIFF format description and the W3C PNG specification explain why each format exists.
Honest limits for TIFF to PNG free use
TIFF to PNG free use covers the first 10 images per browser session; very large TIFFs may decode slowly in-browser.
Each page counts toward the free quota. Huge multi-gigabyte TIFFs can tax memory — SnapShrink still tries locally and will show a clear error if a page cannot be decoded, rather than hanging forever without feedback.
Frequently asked questions
Does this TIFF to PNG converter upload my files?
No. SnapShrink’s TIFF to PNG converter decodes .tif and .tiff files in your browser with UTIF.js. Open DevTools → Network while you convert and you will see zero upload requests.
What happens to multi-page TIFF files?
Every page becomes its own PNG, labeled “page 1 of N,” “page 2 of N,” and so on. SnapShrink never silently converts only the first page of a multi-page TIFF.
Will PNG files be smaller than my TIFF?
Not always. PNG is lossless. A compressed TIFF can become a larger PNG after conversion. Convert for compatibility and sharing, not to shrink archival TIFF files.
Is TIFF to PNG free?
The first 10 images per browser session are free, including TIFF pages. Unlimited use is a one-time $9 Pro license — no subscription.
Can very large TIFFs slow down the browser?
Yes. Very large or multi-page TIFFs can take longer to decode in-browser. SnapShrink still processes them locally; give the tab time rather than expecting a silent failure.
Will colors change when converting TIFF to PNG?
They can. CMYK TIFFs must map into RGB for PNG, so print-oriented colors may shift slightly. RGB TIFFs usually stay close. Soft-proof critical jobs before you rely on the PNG for print.
