TIFF is the lossless archival format used by scanners, print shops and professional photographers. Standard in print and archival software; unsupported in every web browser. JPG, by contrast, universal. If a program can open an image at all, it can open a JPG.
TIFF is what scanners and print workflows produce, and no browser will display it. Converting to JPG is usually the step between "I scanned this" and "I can actually send it to someone".
How to convert TIFF to JPG
- Add your TIFF files. Drag them onto the box above, click to browse, or paste an image straight from your clipboard. You can add as many at once as you like.
- Adjust the settings if you need to. The defaults suit most images. Raise the quality slider if the image contains text or flat colour. Pick a background colour if your image has transparent areas.
- Download the JPG file. Each file gets its own download button as soon as it finishes, and you can pull the whole batch down as a single ZIP.
What changes when you convert TIFF to JPG
Every format conversion involves trade-offs, and vague tools hide them. Here is exactly what happens to your image in this particular conversion.
- JPG has no transparency channel, so any transparent areas are filled with a solid colour. White is used by default and you can pick a different colour before converting — this is the single most common surprise when going from TIFF to JPG.
- TIFF is lossless and JPG is lossy, so this conversion discards some detail permanently. At the default quality the difference is invisible on photographs, but flat colour, screenshots and text will show faint halos — keep the quality high for those.
What happens to the file size
Measured, not estimated: two 1200 x 800 pixels references — a photograph and a flat-colour graphic — put through this converter.
| Reference image | As TIFF | As JPG | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 3.66 MB | 211 KB | -94% |
| Graphic with text | 3.66 MB | 21 KB | -99% |
Yours will differ: size depends more on what is in the picture than on the formats involved.
About TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
TIFF is the lossless archival format used by scanners, print shops and professional photographers.
Where you probably got it: Scanners, fax systems, print workflows and professional photo software.
Strengths
- Lossless and high bit depth — the standard for archiving and printing
- Can hold multiple pages, layers and rich metadata
- The expected deliverable format for most commercial print work
Limitations
- No browser will display it, so it is useless on the web
- Very large files
- So many optional variants that readers disagree on what is valid
About JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the lossy photographic format that has been the default for digital cameras and the web since 1992.
Support: Universal. If a program can open an image at all, it can open a JPG.
Strengths
- Opens in literally every image viewer, editor, printer and web form ever made
- Very small files for photographs, with a quality dial you control
- Hardware-accelerated decoding on every phone and camera
Limitations
- No transparency — transparent areas have to be flattened onto a solid colour
- Lossy: each re-save discards a little more detail permanently
- Blocky artefacts around sharp edges, text and flat colour
Is it safe to convert TIFF online?
Here, yes — and you can check rather than trust. Open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and convert a TIFF file: no request carrying your image is made. Disconnect from the internet after this page has loaded and the converter still works, which would be impossible if a server were doing the conversion.
That is worth verifying wherever you convert, because most online converters do upload, and TIFF files are so often scanned contracts, medical imaging and archival documents, since TIFF is what scanners and clinical equipment produce. Once a file is on somebody else’s server you are relying on a privacy policy rather than on anything you can observe. We wrote up how to tell a safe converter from a risky one in more detail.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert TIFF to JPG?
Drag your TIFF file onto the box above, or click it to browse. The conversion starts immediately in your browser and the JPG download appears within a second or two for most images. You can drop in a whole folder of files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Are my TIFF files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens locally in your browser, so your files are never transmitted anywhere — the tool even works with the network disconnected once the page has loaded. That is also why there is no file size or file count limit: nothing costs us anything per conversion. The practical ceiling is your own device's memory, which on a phone means very large images may fail.
Does TIFF to JPG keep transparency?
It cannot — JPG has no transparency channel at all. Transparent pixels are filled with a background colour, which defaults to white. Use the background colour picker before converting if you need black or a brand colour instead. If you need to keep the transparency, convert to PNG or WebP rather than JPG.
Will converting TIFF to JPG reduce the quality?
Slightly, by design. JPG is a lossy format, so it approximates the image to save space. At the default quality setting the loss is invisible on photographs; on screenshots and text you may see faint halos, so raise the quality slider or choose PNG instead.
What is the difference between TIFF and JPG?
TIFF is the lossless archival format used by scanners, print shops and professional photographers. JPG is the lossy photographic format that has been the default for digital cameras and the web since 1992. In practice the choice comes down to compatibility: standard in print and archival software; unsupported in every web browser. Meanwhile universal. If a program can open an image at all, it can open a JPG.
