Convert TIFF to WebP
We turn TIFF into WebP right in your browser — the file never goes to a server.
What you will lose
Nothing to lose, and nothing to gain: {to} keeps exactly what {from} hands over, and the file grows several times over.
How they differ
| TIFF | WebP | |
|---|---|---|

| Transparency | yes | yes |
| Animation | no | yes |
| Released | 1986 | 2010 |

TIFF
Good at
- Stores losslessly at any colour depth
- Multiple pages in one file — scans and multi-page documents
- A standard in print and archival storage
Awkward about
- Files are very large
- Browsers do not display it
- So many internal variants that another program may not open your TIFF
Use it when
- Scanning and print preparation
- Archiving originals
WebP
Good at
- 25–35 % lighter than JPEG at comparable quality
- One format instead of three: lossy and lossless, transparency, animation
- Supported by every browser released after 2020
Awkward about
- Older software and devices will not open it
- Some editors still cannot save to it
Use it when
- Images for the web — the main case
- Replacing JPEG, PNG and GIF with a single format
Common questions
- Does the file get uploaded to a server?
- No. TIFF → WebP runs right in your browser and the file never leaves your device. It only goes to a server if the browser cannot cope — and then we delete it within a couple of hours.
- Will transparency survive?
- Yes, WebP supports transparency, so semi-transparent edges stay as they were.
- Can I get the original quality back afterwards?
- Nothing is lost, but nothing is gained either. WebP stores exactly what TIFF hands over, including the gaps TIFF left behind when it compressed. No tool can bring those back, and the file grows several times over. This conversion makes sense for editing, not for quality.
- How many files, and how large?
- Up to 30 files at a time, 50 MB each. No sign-up, no watermarks.
