Can I convert TIF to PNM in bulk for free?

Yes. Free users can batch-convert multiple files. Simply drag all your TIF files into the converter at once. PRO users get higher batch limits and priority processing.

What's the difference between TIF and PNM?

TIFF Image is flexible container format for professional photography and publishing. PNM Image is portable anymap — generic netpbm format accepting pbm, pgm or ppm data. Key difference: TIFF Image excels at lossless quality ideal for print and archiving, while PNM Image offers umbrella format automatically selecting mono, gray or color.

How does the TIF to PNM conversion work technically?

Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your TIF file in-browser, process the image data, and re-encode it as PNM. All processing happens on your device's CPU.

What happens to my files after conversion?

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.

Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?

Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target PNM format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.

Does the conversion preserve metadata?

Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
