Convert TIFF to WebP right in your browser — free, private, nothing is uploaded. Smaller files at the same quality, transparency included.
Convert TIFF to WebP →Free · Private — runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded
TIFF is the print-and-scan workhorse: a flexible, usually lossless container beloved by scanners, print shops and photo archives. Files are often huge and can even hold multiple pages, which makes them awkward to share.
WebP is the modern web format: at similar visual quality it produces noticeably smaller files than both JPEG and PNG, and it supports alpha transparency.
Converting TIFF to WebP usually cuts file size at the same visual quality — WebP out-compresses TIFF on most images — while keeping alpha transparency available.
TIFF vs WebP
| TIFF | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | lossless — nothing discarded | lossy — some detail traded for size |
| Codec / container | TIFF container, usually uncompressed or LZW | WebP — written lossy here, with a quality knob |
| Typical file size | large to very large | smallest of the web formats at comparable quality |
| Best for | scanning, print production and photo archives | modern web images — photos and graphics alike |
| Strength | high-fidelity master files | smaller than JPEG/PNG at similar quality, with transparency |
| Watch out for | often huge; can hold multiple pages, and this converter is built for single images | a few older apps and viewers still don't open it |
| Compatibility | great in imaging software; browsers generally won't display it | all modern browsers; some older desktop software lags |
| Transparency | possible, but uncommon | yes — alpha supported |
| Animation | no — multi-page instead | possible in WebP, but this converter writes still images |
How the conversion works
- Choose your TIFF image. The button above opens the converter with WebP already selected as the target format.
- Set the quality from 1 to 100 (default 85) — higher keeps more detail, lower shrinks the file.
- Run the conversion and download the WebP image. Everything happens locally — ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly runs in your browser tab, your image is never uploaded, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
What to expect
This step is lossy. WebP discards some detail to hit its file sizes — at the default quality of 85 that's hard to see on photos, but sharp-edged graphics and text show artifacts sooner. Raise the quality toward 100 for critical images, and keep the TIFF original in case you need to re-export.
Multi-page TIFFs: TIFF can hold several pages in one file, and this converter is designed for single-image files — split multi-page documents first.
FAQ
How much quality do I lose converting TIFF to WebP?
At the default quality of 85 the difference is hard to spot on photos. Graphics with sharp edges and text show lossy artifacts sooner — try quality 90+ there, or stick with a lossless format. Your TIFF original is untouched either way.
How much smaller will the WebP be than my TIFF?
Usually dramatically smaller: TIFF files carry little to no compression, while WebP at the default quality of 85 compresses photographic content to a small fraction of that.
Is my TIFF image uploaded when converting to WebP?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — your image never leaves your device, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
