Convert TIFF to WEBP for Smaller Files That Load Anywhere
TIFF is the format the print and archiving world settled on decades ago, and it earned that position by refusing to throw anything away. Scanners, photo labs, medical imaging systems, and prepress workflows all produce TIFF because it holds lossless data, multiple pages, and colour profiles that a print pipeline needs. A single 600 dpi scan can easily pass 50 MB, which is completely reasonable on a local drive and completely unusable on a web page. Publishing one means either a huge download or a rejected upload, and neither is acceptable.
Publishing a TIFF is where the trouble starts. Browsers do not render it at all, content management systems almost never accept the upload, and emailing a file that size fails before it finishes. Converting to WEBP turns the same picture into something every current browser opens instantly, usually at a small fraction of the original weight, which is the difference between an asset you can publish and one that sits on a hard drive.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your TIFF is decoded locally, drawn onto a canvas, and re-encoded as WEBP at whatever quality you choose on a slider from 10 to 100, with 92 as the default. Scanned documents and flat artwork respond well around 85, while photographic scans benefit from a higher setting. Because scan dimensions are usually far larger than any screen needs, the maximum width field is the most useful control here, and it scales the output down while keeping the aspect ratio.
Two honest limits are worth stating before you start. A TIFF can store several pages in one container, and this tool converts the first one, so split multi-page archives beforehand if you need every page. Colour management is also simplified, since the canvas pipeline works in standard sRGB, which is what you want for the web anyway but is not a print-grade conversion. Keep the TIFF as your master and treat the WEBP as the delivery copy, which is the workflow most archives follow.
Archives are usually handled in bulk rather than one file at a time, so add a whole folder, apply one quality and width setting, convert in a single pass, and download the finished files individually or together in a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is watermarked, and there is no account to create or daily quota to watch. Large archives that once needed a desktop batch script now finish in a single browser session.
Massively Smaller
WEBP delivers a fraction of the file size of an uncompressed scan.
Publishable Output
Browsers and content management systems accept WEBP, unlike TIFF files.
Batch Archives
Convert a whole folder of scans in one pass and download a ZIP.
Width Control
Scale huge scan dimensions down to a sensible web size while converting.
Local Decoding
TIFF files are decoded in your browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
No Signup
Convert as many files as you need with no account, watermark, or daily cap.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
TIFF is a lossless image format used by scanners, print shops, photo labs, and archiving systems. It preserves every pixel and supports multiple pages, which makes files large but ideal as a master copy.
Browsers cannot display TIFF and most content management systems reject the upload. WEBP opens everywhere, loads quickly, and is a small fraction of the size, so it is the practical format for publishing a scan.
WEBP compression is lossy, so some detail is discarded. At the default quality of 92, or higher for detailed scans, the result is visually very close to the source while being far smaller.
Yes. Scans are often several thousand pixels wide, so set a maximum width before converting. The output is scaled to that width with the aspect ratio preserved and no distortion.
A TIFF container can hold several pages, but this tool converts the first one. Split the pages into separate files first if you need each of them converted to WEBP.
The canvas pipeline works in standard sRGB, which is what browsers expect. That suits web publishing perfectly, but this is not a print-grade conversion with full ICC profile handling. Keep the TIFF master if colour accuracy matters later.
Yes. Add a whole folder of TIFF files, apply one quality and width setting across all of them, convert in a single pass, and download the finished WEBP files individually or as a ZIP.
No. Decoding and encoding both happen locally in your browser, so your scans never leave your device and are never stored, logged, or analysed by anyone. You can confirm it in the network tab of your developer tools.
There is no fixed cap, no daily quota, and no account requirement. The practical ceiling is your own device memory, since large scans are decoded and encoded locally one file at a time.
No. The converter runs in an ordinary browser tab on desktop or mobile, with no plugin, no app download, and no registration before you convert your first file. A TIFF decoder loads in the browser only when you add one.
