How to convert TIFF to JPG
- Choose your files. Click Select File or drag your TIFF files into the upload box. You can add many at once.
- Pick the settings. JPG is already selected as the output format. Adjust Quality and Max dimension if you want smaller files.
- Download. Each file appears in the list when it is ready. Download them one by one, or all together with Download all.
Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF files come from scanners, professional cameras and print work. They are excellent for archiving but huge, often 20 to 100 MB, and most websites, email services and phones will not show them. A JPG copy is small and opens everywhere.
When to keep the TIFF
Keep the TIFF as your archive or print master. JPG is lossy, so editing and saving it repeatedly reduces quality.
Tips for the best result
- Quality 85 to 90 is right for scans you may print; 75 for sharing on screen.
- Use Max dimension to make big scans easy to email, for example 2500 pixels.
- Multi-page TIFFs, such as scanned documents, convert their first page.
Common problems and fixes
- Only one page was converted.
- A JPG holds one image, so only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is used. For whole scanned documents, use TIFF to PDF.
- Colours look different.
- TIFFs from print work may use CMYK colours; they are converted to the sRGB colours screens use, which can shift some tones.

TIFF – Tagged Image File Format
TIFF is a flexible, high-quality format used in scanning, print production and professional photography. Files are usually large, and many web browsers cannot display TIFF at all, so images are normally converted before they are published online.

JPG – Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used format for photographs. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small by discarding fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss. It does not support transparency or animation, and virtually every device, browser and app can open it.

Converting TIFF to JPG
- JPG files are usually smaller than TIFF files at similar visual quality, so converting TIFF to JPG typically saves storage and speeds up page loads.
- JPG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas are filled with white.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my TIFF so large?
TIFF usually stores images with little or no compression so nothing is lost. JPG compresses the same picture many times smaller.
Is TIFF or JPG better for printing?
TIFF is the safer master for professional print. A high-quality JPG (85 or more) is fine for everyday printing at home or in a photo shop.
How do I convert TIFF to JPG?
Click Select File or drop your TIFF file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted JPG appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
