Convert TIFF to WEBP

Drop your TIFF files below. They are converted on your own device and never sent anywhere.

Convert to WebP when a large TIFF scan has to be shared or uploaded and the size is the problem rather than the fidelity. It is converted by your own browser here, so the file is never uploaded.

Nothing is uploaded. Your files are read by this page and processed by your own processor. Open the Network tab and watch — you will not see them leave.

TIFF and WebP, and why you would move between them

Scanners and print workflows produce TIFF files that are frequently enormous — a colour A4 page at 300 DPI can be 25MB or more, because TIFF is often stored with no compression at all. That is fine for archiving and impossible for emailing.

WebP is the most effective destination when the file needs to become small and still look right. It compresses far better than PNG on scanned photographs and artwork, supports transparency, and is readable by every current browser and most modern software. For a scan going to a person rather than an archive, it is usually the best trade available.

Things that catch people out

  • Only the first image in the file is converted. Multi-page TIFFs — the usual output of a document scanner — will lose every page after the first.
  • This introduces lossy compression where the TIFF had none. For a photograph or a scanned page that is invisible at sensible quality settings; for a technical drawing or anything with fine text, use lossless WebP or PNG instead.
  • Some TIFFs use compression schemes almost nothing supports, particularly old fax encodings, and will fail to decode rather than convert badly.
  • CMYK TIFFs from print workflows are converted to RGB, which shifts colours slightly. This matters if the file was colour-managed for a printer.

Questions

How much smaller will the WebP be?

Frequently 20 to 50 times smaller. Most scanner TIFFs are stored uncompressed or lightly compressed, so there is a great deal of room. A 25MB scan commonly lands under 1MB.

Is WebP good enough for a scanned document?

For reading and sharing, comfortably. For a legal or archival master copy, keep the TIFF — a lossless format is the right thing to archive, and WebP is the right thing to send.

What BriskFile will not do to you

  • Your files never leave your device

    Every conversion runs in your browser. Open DevTools, watch the Network tab, and you will see no upload — because there is not one.

  • No account, no email, no watermark

    Nothing to sign up for and nothing stamped on your images. There is no step between choosing a file and getting it back.

  • No limits at the download button

    No daily cap, no file counter, no "upgrade to download". If the tool starts a job, it finishes it.

  • Checkable, not just claimed

    Open the Network tab and convert something — nothing goes out. Or load the page, disconnect, and watch it keep working: the tool is already on your machine, and your file never leaves it.
