What happens when you convert TIFF to PNG?
HDR display encoding
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Lossless sample storage
PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.

Compression: Depends on variantTransparency: YesMetadata: TIFF tags, Exif, ICC
Tagged raster storage for scanning and image interchange. Compression, sample types and image count depend on the TIFF variant.

Compression: LosslessTransparency: YesMetadata: Exif, ICC, Text
Lossless raster images with precise edges and optional transparency. The PNG standard also defines APNG animation.

Good choice when
- PNG fits your delivery use: Screenshots & transparent graphics.
- You can choose the source image or part needed for delivery.
- You need HDR-capable delivery and can validate its encoding and colour signalling.
- You need a transparency-capable destination and will check its supported variant.
Probably not when
- You require a complete collection, page set or multipart round trip.
- You require guaranteed scene-linear values or HDR appearance.
- You assume format-level alpha support guarantees matching transparent edges.
- You expect lossless encoding to restore lost details or editing structure.
TIFF to PNG conversion details
- Multiple source images
- One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
- HDR display encoding
- HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
- Transparency representation
- The implemented target supports alpha. Display-pixel processing can round translucent samples; archival sample equality is not promised.
- Lossless sample storage
- PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
- Sample precision & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Metadata & colour
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
- Compression
- TIFF: Depends on variant → PNG: Lossless TIFF: TIFF is not intrinsically lossless or uncompressed. Read the Compression, BitsPerSample and SampleFormat tags; decoder support varies across schemes. PNG: PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition.
- Transparency
- Transparency is replaced with white by default. Change the background in Advanced options.
- Animation
- Still image output. Animated files use only the first frame; animation is not preserved.
- Colour depth
- TIFF: Tagged sample types → PNG: 1–16 bits/sample
- HDR
- PNG: Third-edition signalling
- Multiple images
- TIFF: Image directories
- Dimensions
- One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
- Metadata
- Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Common questions
Will every source image be exported?
One page is converted (default: page 1). Choose another page in Advanced options.
Will HDR automatically survive in PNG?
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Does lossless output mean an unchanged source?
PNG compression is lossless. Palette conversion, resizing or reducing bit depth before encoding can still discard information. Animation is the APNG extension included in the third edition. PNG can store its supported image samples without lossy compression. This applies after rendering and sample conversion: it does not guarantee preservation of source precision, colour space or document structure, and cannot undo earlier losses.
Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?
Pixel conversion only. Original EXIF, GPS, XMP and ICC profiles are not copied; processing uses 8-bit display pixels.
