Is any quality lost converting TIFF to PNG?
No. Both TIFF and PNG are lossless, so the image is carried across exactly, pixel for pixel. You get the full quality of the original in a format that far more software can open.

Convert TIFF to a Lossless PNG That Opens Everywhere
TIFF holds beautiful, lossless images, but it is an awkward guest outside professional software. Plenty of web browsers will not display it inline, casual photo viewers stumble over it, and many upload forms reject the extension outright. PNG solves the compatibility problem without asking you to give up anything that made the TIFF worth keeping: it is equally lossless, so the picture crosses over with every pixel preserved, and it opens cleanly in just about any program or browser.
The tool decodes each TIFF and writes a PNG with no quality setting to weigh, because nothing is being compressed away. That makes it the right choice when fidelity is not negotiable, for archival images, detailed scans, artwork you intend to edit, or anything where the lossy softening of a JPG would be unwelcome. If the TIFF includes a transparent layer, PNG keeps it, where a JPG would paint it white.
PNG is also one of the few widely supported formats that can match TIFF's depth rather than just its detail. High-end scans and photographs are sometimes stored with sixteen bits per colour channel for extra tonal range, and PNG can hold that precision where a JPG cannot, so a careful editing chain keeps its headroom. This is what makes the pairing popular for archiving and for handing images to design software: you move out of TIFF's narrow compatibility and into a format browsers and editors all understand, without quietly downgrading the picture along the way.
Pages, size and colour depth
When a TIFF contains several pages, PNG takes the first one, since a PNG is a single image. The main trade-off to keep in mind is size: a lossless PNG of a large scan stays large, so when the picture is photographic and bound for sharing rather than editing, TIFF to JPG produces a far lighter file. For a different target altogether, Convert Image covers WebP, AVIF and the rest.
Convert a single TIFF or a batch of them in one go. When the source is a photograph headed for the web rather than an archive, TIFF to JPG is the much lighter alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert to PNG rather than JPG?
Choose PNG when you want to keep every bit of detail, when the image will be edited, or when it has transparency to preserve. JPG is the better option only when you need a much smaller file for a photograph and can accept a slight, usually invisible quality trade.
What happens with a multi-page TIFF?
A PNG holds a single image, so the conversion produces the first page of a multi-page TIFF. For a document with many pages, a PDF is generally a more practical destination than a set of separate PNGs.
Will the PNG be large?
It can be, because lossless storage of a high-resolution scan takes real space. If size matters and you do not need transparency or perfect fidelity, TIFF to JPG produces a much smaller file for the same picture.
Does it handle 16-bit TIFFs?
Yes. If your TIFF stores sixteen bits per colour channel for extra tonal range, PNG can hold that precision, so the conversion keeps the full depth rather than quietly dropping it to eight bits the way a JPG would.
