Specification https://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/ https://www.adobe.io/content/dam/udp/en/open/standards/tiff/TIFF6.pdf
Description PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format designed to improve upon the limitations of the older GIF format. It supports millions of colors, full alpha transparency, and optional interlacing. Because it uses lossless DEFLATE compression, PNG preserves every pixel exactly as stored, making it ideal for graphics that need sharp edges, text clarity, and no degradation over multiple saves. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible, high-quality raster image format often used in professional photography, publishing, medical imaging, and archival storage. It supports multiple color spaces, high bit depths, layers, multiple pages, and various compression methods (including none, LZW, PackBits, and JPEG). TIFF is valued for its ability to store images without quality loss, making it a preferred choice when preserving original detail is critical.
Typical usage
  • Web graphics where image clarity is critical
  • Icons and UI elements that require transparent backgrounds
  • Screenshots of applications or websites
  • Digital charts, diagrams, and infographics
  • Archiving original image scans for preservation
  • High-quality photo editing in professional workflows
  • Storing images in scientific, medical, and geospatial applications
  • Exchanging print-ready files between publishers and designers
Typical use cases
  • Preserving pixel-perfect quality for logos and branding materials
  • Creating assets for responsive web design where crisp scaling is important
  • Maintaining text sharpness in interface screenshots
  • Storing intermediate design work before final export to other formats
  • Saving uncompressed or losslessly compressed photographs for later editing without degradation.
  • Capturing and storing detailed scans of artworks, maps, and documents for long-term archival.
  • Medical imaging formats such as radiology scans (X-ray, MRI, CT) where accuracy is vital.
  • Creating multi-page scanned documents in a single file.
Widely supported by
  • All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
  • Popular design software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Affinity Photo
  • Image processing libraries like Sharp, libpng, and ImageMagick

Animation support No — PNG itself does not support animation, but the APNG extension (Animated PNG) enables frame-by-frame animations while retaining lossless quality. No — TIFF is designed for still images; it can store multiple images/pages, but not as animated frames.

Advantages
  • Lossless compression retains exact image quality regardless of edits or re-saves.
  • Supports a full alpha channel for smooth transparency and blending effects.
  • Can store high bit depth images (up to 16 bits per channel), making it suitable for professional work.
  • Universally supported across browsers, operating systems, and image viewers.
  • Can store images at very high bit depths and resolutions without loss.
  • Supports multiple compression methods, including lossless and uncompressed modes.
  • Can store multiple images/pages in one file, useful for scanned documents.
  • Highly flexible metadata tagging, allowing detailed technical and descriptive information.
Disadvantages
  • File sizes can be significantly larger than JPEG for photographic images due to lossless compression.
  • Does not inherently support animation without APNG extension.
  • Large high-resolution PNGs can be memory-intensive to decode in browsers or apps.
  • File sizes can be extremely large, especially for uncompressed images.
  • Not optimized for web use; slow to load in browsers.
  • Some compression methods (like JPEG-in-TIFF) may reduce compatibility with certain software.
Max size note While technically supporting very large dimensions, decoding extremely large PNGs can consume high amounts of RAM, potentially leading to performance issues in browsers. The classic TIFF specification limits files to 4 GB, though BigTIFF (using 64-bit offsets) removes this restriction.
