PNG to TIFF Crop Converter

Load a PNG, drag the crop handles to define exactly the area you need, preview the result, then download a lossless TIFF. Everything runs in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

What This Tool Does

This tool loads a PNG image directly in your browser using URL.createObjectURL and img.decode() for reliable, guaranteed non-blank rendering. It presents an interactive crop overlay with draggable handles, and converts the selected area to a lossless TIFF file. No server upload is required. The full workflow — loading, cropping, encoding — runs entirely in client-side JavaScript using the HTML5 Canvas API. The output is an uncompressed 24-bit RGB TIFF, compatible with professional print workflows, photo editing software, and archival systems.

Who This Is For

  • Designers and archivists who need to extract a specific region from a PNG and preserve it in a lossless, print-ready TIFF format
  • Print production professionals who require TIFF input and receive source assets as PNG
  • Anyone needing to trim and convert a PNG to TIFF without installing Photoshop or GIMP
  • Users who want to isolate a content area from a PNG and deliver it as TIFF for post-production workflows

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TIFF and why is it used in professional workflows?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) stores image data without lossy compression. It supports full-color imagery with no palette limit and is the preferred format for print production, scanning, archiving, and any workflow where the image will be edited multiple times without quality loss. Many commercial printing workflows require TIFF as the input format.
How precise is the crop tool?
The crop operates at native pixel accuracy on the original PNG dimensions. The canvas is scaled to fit your screen for display, but the actual crop coordinates are mapped back to the full-resolution image before the TIFF is generated. You get a TIFF at the exact pixel dimensions shown in the crop dimensions badge.
Can I move the crop selection after setting it?
Yes — click and drag anywhere inside the crop rectangle (away from the handles) to reposition it anywhere within the image. Handles resize; the interior pans.
Does the output TIFF use compression?
The output is an uncompressed TIFF for maximum compatibility. This means the file size will be larger than the source PNG but opens in every application that supports TIFF without any codec requirement.
What browsers are supported?
All modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (desktop and mobile). The tool uses standard HTML5 Canvas and Blob APIs that have been universally supported since 2015.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no server-imposed limit because no upload occurs. The practical limit is your browser's available RAM. Most modern desktops handle PNG files comfortably. Very large files on memory-constrained mobile devices may be slower to process.
