TIFF to PNG converter

TIFF is an extensive raster image file format that supports lossless compression. It is widely used for editing and storing high-quality digital images, while retaining the full detail of the original source image. Commonly used by professionals, TIFF files are capable of storing multiple color depths including 16-bits per channel. They are also popular for exchange between different image editing applications.

TIFF files can store many different types of raster images, including defined layers, text, alpha channels and effects. They are capable of both lossy and lossless compression, allowing for flexibility when it comes to size vs quality. Unlike JPEG, TIFF is also relatively platform independent and is supported by a wide variety of operating systems.

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a lossless image file format used for storing graphics on the web. PNG files are supported by most modern web browsers and can be scaled up or down without loss of quality. Compared to traditional bitmap formats like JPEG and GIF, PNG produces smaller files with better compression, resulting in higher image quality.

PNGs support transparency, alpha blending, anti-aliasing, and multiple identifiers. They also include 8-bit and 24-bit color depths which can produce smaller file sizes than more traditional formats such as GIF. Additionally, the ICC color profile can be included with any PNG file for improved color accuracy.
