3Why convert TIFF to PNG?

Understanding the strengths and limitations of each format helps you decide when converting from TIFF to PNG makes sense. Developed by Aldus Corporation in 1986, TIFF became the standard for high-quality image storage in the publishing industry. Adobe acquired the specification in 1994. PNG was created in 1996 as a patent-free alternative to GIF after the Unisys LZW patent controversy. It rapidly became the standard for lossless web graphics.

5Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TIFF and PNG?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) serve different purposes. TIFF is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and photographers. On the other hand, PNG is a raster-graphics file-format that supports lossless data compression. It was developed as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). Converting between them lets you leverage the strengths of each format depending on your needs.

Does converting TIFF to PNG lose quality?

This depends on the formats involved. If the target format (PNG) uses lossy compression, some data may be discarded during conversion. However, if PNG is lossless, your file will be preserved at full quality. Our converter uses the best available algorithms to minimize any quality difference.
