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.
