TIFF
A print shop or publisher asks for TIFF
Save the web picture as TIFF and send that, not the WebP or JPG the site served. The same goes for OCR, GIS and document systems that accept nothing else.
Free extension for Chrome

When the next step is print or an archive
1:1
An archive of what you find
Keep reference pictures as plain uncompressed copies, pixel for pixel, whatever format the website decided to serve.
What it does
picture formats
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and BMP, and pictures embedded in the page as data: links.
bit RGB
8 bits per colour channel, three channels. Every pixel the browser decoded is written as is.
compression
The pixels are stored uncompressed, so opening and re-saving the TIFF adds no new artifacts.
bytes per pixel
Honest size: a 1920 × 1080 picture comes out at about 6 MB, a 3840 × 2160 one at about 25 MB.
Same file name
The TIFF keeps the picture's name, so harbor-view.jpg becomes harbor-view.tiff.
A clear sign when it fails
If a picture can't be saved, the extension's toolbar icon shows a red “!” for three seconds.
Why “Save image as” doesn't give you a TIFF
Chrome's own “Save image as” keeps the format the website chose: usually WebP, JPG or AVIF, compressed so the page loads fast. Print shops, publishers and many layout and archive tools ask for TIFF instead.
The usual route is an editor or a converter site: download, open or upload, export, download again. Save image as TIFF does it in the browser. It decodes the picture and writes every pixel into an uncompressed TIFF. It can't bring back detail a compressed source has already lost, but it adds no new loss of its own.
Your pictures stay with you
No uploads
The picture is turned into a TIFF inside your browser. No server of ours is involved.
No account, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for. No analytics, no telemetry.
Only what the job needs
A menu item on pictures, access to the picture you clicked on any site, and downloads to save the TIFF.

Questions
How do I save an image as a TIFF in Chrome?
Add Save image as TIFF to Chrome, right-click the picture and choose “Save image as TIFF”. The TIFF appears in your Downloads folder under the picture's name.
How do I convert JPG to TIFF?
Right-click the JPG picture on the web page and choose “Save image as TIFF”. PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and BMP pictures work the same way.
Is the TIFF lossless?
The TIFF is uncompressed: it stores every pixel the browser decoded and adds no new loss. A JPG or WebP source keeps only the detail it already had; no conversion can restore what its compression removed.
Why is the TIFF file so big?
Because it is uncompressed: three bytes per pixel. A 1920 × 1080 picture takes about 6 MB.
Can I choose compression, CMYK or the dpi?
No. The file is always uncompressed 8-bit RGB, tagged 72 dpi. Set the print size and the colour conversion in your layout program or photo editor.
Does the TIFF keep transparency?
No. The file has no alpha channel, so transparent areas turn white.
Is my picture uploaded anywhere?
No. The extension takes the picture from the site that shows it, builds the TIFF inside your browser and saves it to your computer.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or Opera?
Most Chromium browsers install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, including Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
