Batch Settings
Some metadata may not survive
Your PNG file may contain tEXt, iTXt metadata. TIFF has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
Color depth reduction: 48-bit → 32-bit
PNG stores up to 48 bits per channel, but TIFF supports only 32 bits. You may notice banding in smooth gradients (like sky or skin tones) where subtle color transitions are lost.
当您需要将PNG图片转换为TIFF格式时，通常意味着您对图像质量、专业打印或特定工作流程有更高要求。PNG以其无损压缩和透明背景广泛应用于网页和日常分享，但在印刷出版、医学影像或某些专业图形处理场景下，TIFF凭借其卓越的色彩深度、多层支持及更广泛的工业标准兼容性，成为了不可替代的选择。无论是为了确保图片在冲印店能达到最佳效果，还是为了兼容特定设计软件，亦或是存档高品质数字艺术作品，我们的工具都能帮助您轻松、高效地完成转换，让您的图片在不同平台和专业领域间无缝衔接，展现其最大价值。

在大陆和台湾地区，许多老牌印刷厂和广告公司仍偏好接收TIFF文件进行高精度印刷，以避免色彩空间或透明度解析错误，尤其是在涉及CMYK色彩模式时。
About PNG to TIFF Conversion
Short answer: yes, you can convert PNG to TIFF online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .png file to CocoConvert, pick TIFF as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency, making it perfect for graphics, logos, and screenshots. TIFF is an uncompressed or losslessly compressed format favoured in print, publishing, and professional photography. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.
Full Name: PNG uses Portable Network Graphics, while TIFF uses Tagged Image File Format. Compression: PNG uses Lossless, while TIFF uses Lossy & Lossless. Transparency: PNG uses Yes, while TIFF uses Yes.
Your PNG file is decoded and re-encoded as TIFF. Converting PNG to TIFF maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.
CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
Need to convert more than one file? Free users can do 5 per hour. Pro gets 100 per hour with files up to 5 GB each.

What Happens When You Convert PNG to TIFF
Your PNG image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as TIFF.
Your PNG file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
Pixels are re-encoded using Tagged Image File Format's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where TIFF supports it
The TIFF file is saved and ready for download
