Convert TIF to WebP - Smaller Files, Same Picture
WebP is the format to reach for when a TIFF has to go on a website: it is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG and, unlike JPG, it keeps transparency. Drop your .tif or .tiff files here to get web-ready WebP images in seconds. Everything is decoded and re-encoded inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.

How to use this tool
Upload your TIF files
Drag .tif or .tiff files onto the box above, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are accepted and the whole batch converts in one pass.
Choose a quality level
The slider defaults to 85%, the sweet spot most sites use for photographic content. Lower it towards 70% for hero images where page speed matters more than fine detail.
Click Convert
The TIFF is decoded in your browser and re-encoded with libwebp compiled to WebAssembly - the same encoder Google ships in Chrome.
Download your WebP files
Save individual files or download the batch as a ZIP, then drop the results straight into your CMS or image folder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose WebP over JPG for a converted TIFF?
WebP reaches the same perceived quality as JPEG at roughly a quarter to a third fewer bytes, which directly improves Largest Contentful Paint on a web page. It also supports an alpha channel, so a transparent TIFF stays transparent instead of being flattened onto white as JPEG would force.
Do all browsers support WebP now?
Yes. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and every current mobile browser decode WebP, and have done since Safari 14 shipped in 2020. The only places you still need a JPG fallback are very old devices and some desktop applications that never added WebP import.
Is WebP lossy or lossless here?
This tool produces lossy WebP, controlled by the quality slider, because that is what makes the format worth using for photographs and scans. Some detail is discarded, exactly as with JPEG, but WebP's encoder handles smooth gradients and flat colour better at the same file size.
Will my 16-bit TIFF keep its extra colour depth?
No. WebP stores 8 bits per channel, so a 16-bit scan is reduced to 8-bit during conversion. That is invisible on any normal display, but if you are colour grading or doing scientific measurement, keep the original TIFF as your master file and treat the WebP as a delivery copy.
Can I edit a WebP after converting?
Most modern editors open WebP directly, including Photoshop 23 and later, Affinity Photo, GIMP, and Figma. If your editor is older, convert the TIFF to PNG instead - PNG is lossless and universally editable, at the cost of a considerably larger file.
