1Upload your TIFF images and wait for the preview to appear.
2Drag out the region you want to keep, or lock the selection to 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9 and drag freely inside that ratio.
3Confirm the crop — the same rectangle is applied to every file you uploaded, which is how a set ends up genuinely consistent.
4Download the cropped TIFF file, with everything outside the frame discarded.
Crop TIFF FAQ
Does my source format change how a crop behaves?
+
It can. TIFF is the archival container: lossless LZW or DEFLATE, 16-bit-per-channel depth, CMYK, and multiple pages in a single file. That decides whether the crop is a pure pixel operation or whether the file has to be rebuilt around it.
Anything specific to TIFF worth knowing before I crop?
+
Yes — a single TIFF can hold several pages and 16-bit-per-channel data, so a tool has to decide whether to act on page one or on all of them. That is the sort of detail that only shows up after you have overwritten the original.
What is the most common mistake when cropping TIFF images?
+
Cropping before resizing. Crop first from the full-resolution original, then resize the result — doing it the other way round means the region you keep has already lost detail it did not need to lose.
Can I crop several files to the same region at once?
+
Yes, and that is the case worth doing here rather than in an editor: the same rectangle is applied across the batch, which is how a set of product shots ends up genuinely consistent instead of approximately consistent.
Can I run Crop TIFF on several TIFF images at once?
+
Yes — upload the set and they process in parallel under one set of settings. Lossless files are larger, so a big batch is bound by your upload speed rather than by the processing itself.
Does the alpha channel survive?
+
Yes. PNG and TIFF carry a full 8-bit alpha channel and it is preserved end to end. It is only flattened if you deliberately target a format that has no alpha, in which case transparent pixels are composited onto white.
Does Crop TIFF cost anything?
+
No. Crop TIFF runs free without an account and adds no watermark. Files are removed from the workers shortly after you download, and nothing about the image is retained.
Is there a file size limit on Crop TIFF?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 5 MB each; lossless sources hit that ceiling sooner than photographs do, because nothing has been thrown away yet. If you are over it, converting to PNG first is often enough on its own — a BMP is routinely ten to twenty times the size of the identical image as PNG.
Why does a PNG site host Crop TIFF?
+
PNG.to is built around the format you use when you cannot afford to lose a pixel: lossless, alpha-capable, and the correct answer for screenshots, logos, line art and anything with hard edges. Image work is rarely one step: people arrive to change a format and leave needing the picture a different size, a different weight or a different shape. Running Crop TIFF on the same upload pipeline, the same size caps and the same account is the whole reason it is here rather than on a fourth tab.
What should I do with the result once Crop TIFF is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves images to and from PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and SVG — which is the step where the decision about transparency actually gets made. That is the step most people actually came for, and doing it after Crop TIFF rather than before it means the conversion works from the file you finally settled on.
Is Crop TIFF here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same libraries, the same workers, the same limits. What differs is the advice, and the advice here starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. A PNG site is opinionated about where PNG is the right destination and where it is not, and that judgement is worth more than the button.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, and nothing you process is indexed, listed or used for anything else. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
