Format & Conversion

PNG to TIFF

Convert PNG images to TIFF. PNG is built for screenshots, logos, and anything with flat colour or sharp edges; TIFF for print, scanning, and archival masters, at several times the size of a JPEG. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Features

  • Quality control over the TIFF encode, so you choose the size-versus-detail point
  • Batch conversion across a folder of PNG files
  • Metadata and colour profile carried over wherever TIFF can hold them
  • Your PNG files are processed on your own server and never uploaded anywhere

What you can do

  • Cut page weight by serving TIFF instead of PNG
  • Batch a folder of PNG files into TIFF in one pass
  • Satisfy an upload form or pipeline that takes TIFF and rejects PNG

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.

Vistalyth Tools runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Files processed with PNG to TIFF are never uploaded to third-party servers. Deploy a single Docker container and process files with full privacy, no watermarks, and no usage limits. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting PNG to TIFF lose quality?
Both formats carry full colour, so the encode quality you pick is the only thing that matters here.
Which quality setting should I use?
Start at the default, then lower it until you can see the difference at the size the image is actually viewed. Most photographs hold up further down than people expect.
Can I go back to PNG afterwards?
You can, and if TIFF is lossless the round trip is clean. If TIFF is lossy, converting back gives you a PNG wrapper around already-degraded pixels rather than the original.
