TIFF to WebP
Convert TIFF/TIF professional images to modern WebP format entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. WebP delivers 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPG at equivalent visual quality, making it ideal for web delivery of professional photography while retaining compatibility with all modern browsers. Whether you're optimizing scanned photos for a website, sharing professional images online, or converting large TIFFs to a manageable size with quality preserved, WebP strikes the best balance between compression and visual fidelity.

- Local decoding starts automatically in the browser after file selection. Multi-page TIFFs extract the first page.
- Wait for the progress bar to complete. Large high-resolution TIFFs may take several seconds.
- Preview the converted WebP dimensions and file size, then click download to save.
Features
- 100% client-side processing: TIFF decoding and WebP encoding both happen in your browser via Web Workers — images are never uploaded to any server
- Superior compression: WebP is 25-35% smaller than JPG and significantly smaller than PNG at equivalent quality
- High quality encoding: Outputs WebP at 0.92 quality parameter for professional photo detail with minimal compression artifacts
- TIFF/TIF support: Fully supports both .tiff and .tif file extensions, including TIFFs from scanners and DSLR cameras
- Transparency support: If the source TIFF contains an alpha channel, WebP preserves the transparency
- Multi-page TIFF support: Multi-page TIFFs automatically extract and convert the first page to WebP
- Real-time progress tracking: Decode/encode percentage is visible even for large, high-resolution professional photos

FAQ
Why choose WebP over JPG for TIFF conversion?
WebP is 25-35% smaller than JPG at equivalent visual quality, meaning faster page loads, less bandwidth usage, and smaller storage requirements. At the same 0.92 quality setting used in this tool, WebP looks nearly identical to the source while being significantly smaller. Choose JPG only if you need to support very old browsers (pre-2010).
Which browsers support WebP?
Chrome 32+, Firefox 65+, Edge 18+, Safari 14+ (macOS Big Sur+, iOS 14+), and Android 4.2+ all natively support WebP, covering approximately 97% of global internet users. For the remaining ~3% of legacy browsers, serve a JPG fallback.
Will WebP preserve TIFF transparency?
If the source TIFF contains an alpha channel and the browser decodes it correctly, WebP will preserve the transparency. Most scanner and camera TIFFs don't have transparency, but TIFFs exported from design software may include alpha channels.
How are multi-page TIFFs handled?
The current version automatically extracts and converts the first page of multi-page TIFFs to WebP. If you need other pages, use a dedicated TIFF viewer to extract individual pages first.
How much smaller is WebP compared to TIFF?
Uncompressed TIFF to WebP typically achieves 90%+ size reduction (e.g., a 30MB TIFF becomes roughly 1-4MB as WebP). WebP is also 25-35% smaller than JPG at comparable quality.
Are TIFF files uploaded to a server?
No uploads. All conversion happens locally in your browser via Web Workers. Your TIFF files — including professional photography and confidential documents — never leave your device.
Can WebP be used for professional printing?
WebP is primarily a web/delivery format. For professional printing, keep the original TIFF or use PNG/TIFF formats that are widely supported by print workflows. WebP is excellent for screen display and online sharing, not for print production.
Is batch conversion supported?
Currently one TIFF is processed at a time for browser-side stability. Large high-resolution photos are resource-intensive to encode, so processing one at a time is most reliable. Process files one by one for multiple conversions.
