Here is a simple guide to convert tiff to png for free with the photos app:
- Right-click on the TIFF file. Choose Open with > Photos.
- Once the image opens in the Photos app, click on the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner. Select Save as from the drop-down menu.
- In the Save as dialog box, select the location where you want to save the new file. In the Save as type dropdown, choose PNG. Click Save to complete the conversion.
This will create a PNG version of your image. However, keep in mind that the Photos app does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in the original TIFF will be filled with a solid background in the PNG. To convert tiff to png with transparent background, a different tool like TIFF to PNG converter would be required.
