How do I convert TIFF to WebP?

Upload your TIFF file above. It is converted to WebP automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting TIFF to WebP lose quality?

WebP is lossy by default, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality or switch on lossless in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the WebP keep the transparent background?

Yes. WebP supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

TIFF is the workhorse of print and archiving. It keeps every pixel without loss and is accepted by print shops, publishers and document-management systems.

Is the TIFF to WebP converter free?

Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.

Publishing TIFF masters on the web as WebP

Photographers and studios keep TIFF masters for print, then need web versions of the same images for a portfolio, a shop or a press page. WebP is that web copy: browsers display it and it usually takes far less space than the TIFF it came from.

Lossy WebP at the default quality of 90 suits photographs, and the slider's hint suggests 60 to 80 for most photos when pages need to be lighter. Turn on Lossless mode for artwork, scanned drawings and anything with fine text, where an exact copy matters more than size. A transparent TIFF keeps its transparency in WebP, and CMYK files come out in RGB, the color space screens use.

Print masters are usually far larger in pixels than a web page needs, so scale each image down to its display width, with WebP chosen as the output there. For clients who still want JPG, make a JPG version for the web.
