Converting PNG to TIFF (pillow?)

[gw1500se]

I need to convert a PNG file to TIFF. I am looking at pillow but it does not seem to have that capability. Am I looking in the wrong place or is there some other way to do that conversion? TIA.

this looks like it will do that: https://pypi.org/project/webptools/

Thanks. It looks like converting to webp is easy enough but I don't see how to get from webp to tiff. It doesn't seem to mention tiff and just using 'tif' extension for the output seems almost too simple. I can only try.

Hi,

The non-python answer would be that free software like "irfanview" or "xnview"
will do that (as a dozen others will)

(From a photographer's point of view, i see no reason to convert png to tiff.)

It is not quite that simple. I have to capture a web page that renders after a javascript (I'm still struggling with that part as selenium is deprecated and while it works I don't want to use it). Once I have the page as an image, I need to run an OCR to find the data I want and the OCR library only supports tiff.

If there is an easy way to capture a web page after JS into a tiff format I would sure like to know about it. Everything I have tried so far either won't install (python 2.7, locked in by my OS) or is not supported on Linux.
