How to convert TIFF to WebP
- Drop your
.tifor.tifffiles onto the upload area. Batches of many files are fine. - Set the Quality slider. Around 80 is a good balance for web images; raise it for product photos where fine detail matters.
- Click Convert to WebP and download the results one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Everything runs in your browser: UTIF.js reads the TIFF and the browser's own encoder writes the WebP. The images stay on your device.
From print master to web-ready image
Photographers, designers and publishers often keep their originals as TIFF. It is lossless, handles high bit depths and is the format many print workflows and image libraries expect. Those same qualities make it unsuitable for the web: a single TIFF can be tens of megabytes, and Chrome, Edge and Firefox will not even display it.
WebP was designed by Google for exactly the opposite job. It produces very small files, supports transparency, and is shown by every modern browser. Converting TIFF to WebP is a quick way to turn a print-quality master into an image that loads fast on a website, an online shop or a blog, while the original TIFF stays untouched on your disk.
What to expect
| TIFF original | WebP result | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless or none | Lossy, adjustable with the quality slider |
| Typical size of a 12-megapixel photo | 15–50 MB | Often under 1–2 MB |
| Transparency | Supported | Kept |
| Pages | One or many | One file per page |
A multi-page TIFF produces one WebP per page, numbered in sequence. For pages that belong together, such as a scanned brochure, consider TIFF to PDF instead.
Tips
- Resolution is unchanged. The WebP has the same pixel dimensions as the TIFF. Very large scans may still be heavier than a web page needs; reduce them afterwards with Compress Image.
- Need maximum compatibility? Some email clients and older office software still struggle with WebP. TIFF to JPG works everywhere.
- Want a lossless copy? Use TIFF to PNG.
- Specialty files. Some 16-bit or CMYK TIFFs may not decode; re-save them as standard RGB TIFF and try again.
Frequently asked questions
Is WebP good enough to replace TIFF?
For publishing on the web, yes. For printing and archiving, keep the TIFF as your master and use WebP only for online copies.
Does WebP keep transparency from my TIFF?
Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas are preserved.
What quality setting should I use?
75–85 suits most web images. Go higher for detailed product shots or artwork, lower for thumbnails.
Can I convert several TIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; every page of every file is converted in one batch.
