Convert TIFF to WEBP

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile, high-quality image format commonly used in professional photography, publishing, and graphic design. It supports lossless compression, preserving image quality while maintaining layers, transparency, and multiple pages. TIFF files can handle both RGB and CMYK color spaces, making them ideal for print production. While larger in size than JPEGs, TIFFs excel at storing detailed images without degradation.

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers superior compression for web graphics. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, providing smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG while maintaining high image quality. WebP images feature transparency like PNG files and can display animations like GIF files. This format helps websites load faster and reduces bandwidth usage.

WebP images offer superior compression compared to JPEG, reducing file sizes by 25-35% while maintaining similar visual quality. This smaller file size leads to: • Faster website loading speeds • Reduced bandwidth usage • Better mobile user experience • Improved SEO rankings • Lower hosting storage costs WebP also supports both lossy and lossless compression, plus alpha channel transparency like PNG files. Modern browsers widely support WebP, making it an ideal choice for web optimization. For legacy support, you can provide JPEG fallbacks using the <picture> element, ensuring compatibility across all devices and browsers.

.WebP images fully support transparency through an alpha channel, similar to PNG files. The format allows both binary (fully transparent or fully opaque) and variable transparency levels (partial opacity). When using lossy compression, WebP maintains high-quality transparency while achieving smaller file sizes compared to PNG. The lossless WebP variant preserves transparency without any quality degradation, making it ideal for logos, icons, and graphics requiring clear backgrounds.

Converting from TIFF to WebP typically results in some quality loss due to WebPs lossy compression, though its usually minimal with proper settings. WebP offers excellent compression ratios while maintaining good visual quality, making it ideal for web use. For maximum quality retention, use WebPs lossless compression mode, which preserves image details but results in larger file sizes than lossy compression. TIFF files are typically uncompressed or use lossless compression, making them larger but perfect for archival purposes. When converting to WebP, consider: - Using high quality settings (80-90%) for important images - Testing different compression levels for optimal quality/size balance - Keeping TIFF originals for future editing - Using lossless WebP for graphics with text or sharp edges
