Source Format

TIFF Image

image/tiff

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality raster image format widely used in professional photography and publishing. It supports multiple compression methods including LZW and ZIP lossless compression, as well as uncompressed storage, and can store images with very high bit depths. TIFF also supports multiple pages, layers, and extensive metadata within a single file.

Advantages

  • Supports lossless compression and very high bit depths up to 32-bit per channel
  • Capable of storing multiple pages and layers in a single file
  • Widely accepted in professional print and publishing workflows

Limitations

  • Large file sizes even with compression enabled
  • Not natively supported by web browsers for display
  • Complex specification leads to inconsistent support across software

Common Uses

  • Professional photography and print production
  • Scanned document archival and storage
  • Medical and scientific imaging

Target Format

PNG Image

image/png

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format that supports full alpha transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and uses DEFLATE compression to reduce file sizes without any loss of quality. PNG is ideal for images that require transparency or need to be edited repeatedly without degradation.

Advantages

  • Lossless compression preserves perfect image quality
  • Supports full alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity
  • Excellent for graphics with sharp edges, text, and flat colors

Limitations

  • Significantly larger file sizes compared to JPEG for photographic images
  • Does not support animation in standard implementations
  • Not ideal for print workflows that expect CMYK color space

Common Uses

  • Web graphics, logos, and icons requiring transparency
  • Screenshots and user interface elements
  • Graphics with text overlays or sharp geometric shapes
