When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Publishing professional photos online
Professional photographers often work with TIFF files. Convert to WebP for web galleries, portfolios, and client previews with dramatically reduced file sizes.
Optimizing scanned documents for web
Scanners typically save as TIFF for quality. Convert to WebP when you need to share scans online or embed them in web applications.
Preparing print assets for digital use
Design assets saved as TIFF for print need to be converted for digital delivery. WebP provides the best balance of quality and file size for web use.
Reducing archive storage costs
TIFF image libraries consume massive storage. Convert to WebP for web-accessible archives that take a fraction of the space while remaining high quality.
Email and messaging
TIFF files are too large for email and most messaging platforms don't display them. Convert to WebP for easy sharing while maintaining quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expect 90-98% reduction for uncompressed TIFF files. A 50MB TIFF photo typically converts to 1-3MB as WebP. Even LZW-compressed TIFFs see 80-95% reduction.
WebP lossy compression introduces minimal, typically imperceptible quality loss at default settings. Since TIFF is high quality, the WebP output looks excellent. Professional color accuracy may shift slightly.
Yes. WebP fully supports alpha channel transparency. Transparent areas in your TIFF are preserved in the WebP output.
WebP doesn't support multiple pages. The converter processes the first page of a multi-page TIFF. Each page would need to be converted separately.
The Canvas API conversion process strips most metadata. If you need to preserve EXIF data, you may need to re-embed it after conversion using a metadata editing tool.
Most browsers cannot display TIFF files natively, which is why conversion to WebP (or JPG/PNG) is necessary for web use. Safari has limited TIFF support.
AVIF produces even smaller files (20% smaller than WebP) but has narrower browser support. WebP is the safer choice with over 97% browser support. Use AVIF when targeting only modern browsers.
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your TIFF files are never uploaded to any server, making this safe for medical scans, legal documents, and confidential photographs.
Yes, if your mobile browser can decode TIFF images. Most modern mobile browsers handle this conversion directly. Open this page on your phone to try.
WebP produces 25-35% smaller files than JPG at equivalent quality and supports transparency. JPG is a good fallback if you need compatibility with very old software.
