  • Have you tried GIMP? It's a little tricky to use, but a good program for image editing and converting. – TheWanderer May 08 '15 at 12:54
  • http://askubuntu.com/questions/60401/batch-processing-tif-images-converting-tif-to-jpeg commandline command is "convert" – Rinzwind May 08 '15 at 12:55
  • You don't need to use batch, but rather [XnConvert](http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/). – VRR May 08 '15 at 16:45

Install imagemagick:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

An a simple command:

convert <your_png> out.tiff

Or for all files in your folder:

for f in *.png; do convert "$f" "${f%%.*}.tiff"; done

Try convert: 

convert blah.png blah.tiff

If you don't have it, try: 

sudo apt-get install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat
