Converting TIFF images to PNG using GraphicsMagick can be a pretty straightforward and powerful option, while GraphicsMagick does handle transparency pretty well, there can be cases where it doesn’t preserve the transparency correctly, especially if the TIFF file is a bit complex. If your TIFF has a very intricate transparent area, you might find that the output PNG doesn’t quite look like you expected.
If you have a lot of TIFF files to convert, doing them one by one through the command line can become quite tedious. Yes, you can write scripts to automate things, but that adds another layer of complexity. For most users who just want to convert a few images, this is doable; for others, it might just feel like too much work.
