Should you convert WEBP to TIFF?

A safe conversion when TIFF is what you need: both WEBP and TIFF keep every pixel, so the picture itself doesn’t change.

Bear in mind TIFF is has patchy support: it works in photo editors, macOS Preview and Windows Photos, but not Chrome, Firefox or most upload forms.

WEBP is a web image format that can be lossy or lossless, with transparency and animation; TIFF is a high-fidelity format used by scanners, printers and archives. Use TIFF when a printer, publisher or archive asks for it, or for master copies of scans.

How to convert WEBP to TIFF

  1. 01

    Add your WEBP

    Drop your WEBP image onto the box, or click to choose it. It is read from your disk and stays there.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    The output is already set to TIFF. Change the quality if you want to; the defaults suit most files.

  3. 03

    Save the TIFF

    Press convert and save the TIFF. Several files come back together as a ZIP.

What changes when WEBP becomes TIFF

Transparency is kept

WEBP and TIFF both support transparency, so transparent backgrounds and soft edges come through unchanged.

Animations become a still

TIFF can’t move, so an animated WEBP is saved as its first frame. Choose GIF or APNG instead to keep the animation.

Expect a much larger file

TIFF is far bigger for the same content. Choose it because something needs TIFF, not to send or store the file. WEBP: Typically 25–35% smaller than the same JPG. TIFF: A scanned A4 page can be 20–50 MB.

This page is put together from our notes on each format, choosing only what is true of WEBP and TIFF, so every pairing states the same facts the same way. How these pages are made.

Why it doesn’t upload

Changing a picture’s format is work your browser already knows how to do. Sending your photos to a server first only adds waiting and risk, so nothing is sent.

How to check for yourself

Worth knowing

  • About the WEBP. Images saved from websites arrive as WEBP even when the page looked like it showed a JPG, and then a document editor or upload form refuses them.
  • About the TIFF. Multi-page TIFFs from scanners look like one picture in some viewers, so pages go unnoticed when converting.
  • DDS, PSD, EXR, XWD and JPEG 2000 are read by the FFmpeg engine, a one-time 31 MB download.
