PNG and TIFF are both capable of lossless storage, but TIFF has long been the established standard in professional printing, scanning, and publishing workflows, supporting features PNG doesn't, like multi-page documents and a wider range of compression schemes. Print shops, prepress systems, and certain archival pipelines often specifically require TIFF rather than PNG, even though both formats avoid the generational quality loss that comes from repeatedly saving a lossy format like JPG.
Converting PNG to TIFF preserves the full lossless image data from the original, including transparency in most cases, while giving you a file format that's compatible with print and archival systems built around TIFF specifically.
- Install Turbo Batch Image Converter Pro on your Windows PC.
- Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PNG.
- Drag your PNG file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to PNG and the "To" format to TIFF.
- Click Convert. TIFF files are written to the output folder, fully offline.
- 100% offline — your images are never uploaded anywhere
- Bulk conversion of entire folders, including sub-folders, in one click
- Lossless conversion preserves full image detail from the original PNG
- Multi-core processing for fast handling of large batches
- Option to delete original PNG files automatically after conversion
- No recurring subscription or hidden upload limits
If you only need straightforward format conversion without RAW or HEIC support, Turbo Batch Image Converter Lite covers this exact PNG-to-TIFF conversion in a lighter, more focused app.
Does converting PNG to TIFF lose any image quality?
No, both formats are capable of lossless storage, so converting between them doesn't introduce compression artifacts or reduce image detail.
Why would print or archival workflows require TIFF over PNG?
TIFF has long been the standard format in publishing and professional printing, supporting features like multi-page documents that PNG doesn't, which is why some specialized print software specifically expects it.
Will my PNG's transparency be preserved in the TIFF?
TIFF can support an alpha channel depending on how the file is encoded, so transparency from the original PNG is generally preserved during conversion.
