Converting PNG to TIFF produces an archival-format file with lossless compression, metadata support, and compatibility with professional imaging pipelines. TIFF carries color profiles, resolution metadata, and multi-page support that PNG doesn't handle.

Both formats are lossless; no pixel data is lost. TIFF with LZW or ZIP compression is usually comparable in size to PNG for most content, sometimes larger. Alpha channel is preserved. The main gains are professional tooling support and metadata.
TIFF is supported by Photoshop, Affinity, GIMP, every major imaging tool, and every print RIP. Browsers don't display TIFF natively; this is a production and archival format.
PNG is a lossless image format designed to replace GIF. It uses DEFLATE compression, supports an 8-bit alpha channel for full transparency, and preserves every pixel exactly. PNG excels at images with sharp edges, large flat-color regions, text, UI screenshots, and anything you'll re-edit.
TIFF is a 1986 container format used throughout professional photography, print production, and archival imaging. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, 16-bit-per-channel color, embedded color profiles, and high bit-depth grayscale. Print shops, medical imaging, and GIS systems expect TIFF.
For archival and print workflows, yes. TIFF supports metadata, color profiles, multi-page documents, and 16-bit color that PNG handles less cleanly. For web use, PNG is simpler and universally supported.
Yes. TIFF supports an alpha channel and preserves PNG transparency cleanly. Make sure your target application handles TIFF alpha correctly; not all do.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
