GEEDITOR / TIFF → PNG
About this conversion · TIFF → PNG
Make a PNG copy of your TIFF image for graphics work or a service that asks for PNG. PNG avoids another lossy image-compression step, but it cannot turn a blurry source into a sharper picture.
PNG can keep transparent pixels that already exist. A white area in a JPG is still a white area after conversion; removing it requires background removal, not a different filename extension.
This image route exports pixel data, not a repair of the original. Layers are flattened and animated or multipage files use one frame or page. Color depth, profiles and metadata may change; lost detail cannot be recovered by changing the extension.
Worked example — Calculated example; not a measured file-size result
Input: 2400 × 1600 px
Maximum image width: 1600 px
Output: 1600 × 1067 px
How to convert
- Click “Choose files” and select the original TIFF file. Start with one file when comparing settings.
- Check that the output selector shows PNG. The instructions here describe this choice; changing the output can change which settings apply.
- Open “Conversion settings” below the file area before starting conversion. Set only the options relevant to the output described below.
- Leave “Maximum image width” empty to keep the current dimensions. Enter a smaller width, such as 1600, only when you want to reduce a wider image; the height follows its proportions.
- Click “Convert files”, then save the result from its file row. “Download all” puts completed files into a ZIP; it does not combine their contents.
- Open the downloaded PNG image at 100% zoom. Compare dimensions, orientation, fine text, transparent edges and colors with the TIFF original before uploading it elsewhere.
