How to use TIFF to JPG

  1. Drop your TIFF files on the page or pick them from your device.
  2. Wait while each file is converted to JPG on your device.
  3. Check the first page: for a multi-page TIFF, only page one is converted.
  4. Download the JPG files one by one, or all together as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my TIFF file so large?

TIFF files are usually stored with little or no compression, so their size depends on the pixel count rather than the picture. A 12-megapixel image can be 36 to 48 MB. A JPG of the same picture is typically a tenth of that size or less.

What happens to the other pages of a multi-page TIFF?

Only the first page is converted. If a scan has several pages, split it into one TIFF per page with a scanning or PDF tool, then convert each file here as a batch.

Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?

A little detail is discarded, because JPG is lossy. For photographs it is hard to see at normal size. For scanned text, diagrams and line art, convert to PNG instead, which keeps every pixel and is still much smaller than the TIFF.

Is the TIFF to JPG conversion safe for confidential scans?

Yes in the sense that matters here: the file is decoded and re-encoded inside your browser tab, so a scanned contract or ID is never sent to a server.

Are my TIFF files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your TIFF files stay on your device. There is no signup, no watermark and no cost, and you can convert a whole batch and download it as a zip.

About TIFF to JPG

TIFF is what scanners, print workflows and some cameras produce, and it is built for accuracy rather than convenience. The files are huge, most browsers cannot show them, and nearly every website, email service and form refuses them. Converting to JPG is the usual way out: a 12-megapixel photo that takes 36 to 48 MB as an uncompressed TIFF is typically 2 to 5 MB as a JPG, and the result opens on any phone, computer or upload page.

Common cases are a scanned document or old family photo that needs to go into an email or an online application, a TIFF from a print or archive job that a client wants as a lightweight preview, and a stock or product image delivered as TIFF that has to be published on a website. Keep the TIFF as your master and share the JPG, because JPG is lossy and you cannot get the detail back later.

Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted, so a scanned document saved as one file gives you its first page only. If you need the other pages, split the TIFF into separate files first and convert each one. JPG compression discards some fine detail, which is rarely visible in photographs but can leave faint noise around sharp text and line art in scans; for those, PNG keeps every pixel. JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas in the TIFF turn white. Metadata such as scanner details, capture dates and embedded profiles is removed, after the image orientation has been applied.

TIFF is normally lossless, stored uncompressed or packed with LZW or ZIP, so files are large; JPG is lossy, using discrete cosine transform compression. JPG cannot store transparency, so any transparent area in the TIFF file turns white. For scale, a 12-megapixel photo is typically 36 to 48 MB uncompressed as TIFF and 2 to 5 MB as JPG. Compatibility: Every browser, phone, camera, editor, email client and upload form opens it, which is its main strength.
