Frequently asked questions

Why convert TIFF to PNG instead of JPG?
PNG is lossless, like many TIFF files, so it preserves scan quality exactly while still being far smaller and more widely supported than TIFF.
Will PNG open faster than TIFF in image viewers?
Yes. Most image viewers and web browsers display PNG instantly, while many do not support TIFF at all, so a scan that refuses to open on one device usually opens fine as PNG.
Will a multi-page TIFF convert to a multi-page PNG?
No. PNG has no multi-page concept, so each page of the TIFF is exported as its own separate PNG file — a 10-page scanned TIFF becomes 10 individual PNG images.
Does the PNG keep the same detail as a lossless TIFF?
Yes. Converting between two lossless formats copies the pixel data exactly, so a scan saved as uncompressed or lossless-compressed TIFF looks identical once it becomes PNG — nothing is discarded in the process.
Will the PNG keep transparency if the TIFF has any?
Yes. If the source TIFF includes an alpha channel, the PNG preserves it exactly, since both formats support full transparency rather than the simple on/off transparency of older formats.
Is PNG better than JPG for archived scans specifically?
For text-heavy or line-art scans, yes — PNG avoids the blurring JPG compression can add around fine strokes and small letters. For photographic scans where file size matters more than pixel-perfect edges, JPG is usually smaller with no visible difference.
Can I convert a whole folder of TIFF scans to PNG at once?
Yes. Add the whole batch together and each TIFF converts to its own PNG in a single pass, with no limit on the number of files — useful for clearing out an old scanned archive at once.

About TIFF and PNG

Key things to know before you convert TIFF to PNG:

TIFF

TIFF is the print and scanning industry format: lossless, multi-page, with deep color support. Files are large; for screen use convert to JPG or PNG.

PNG

PNG is the lossless standard for web graphics: screenshots, logos, UI elements and anything with transparency. Pixel-perfect every time, but photos in PNG are 3-10x larger than JPG.
