TIFF to JPG
Convert scans and print-quality TIFFs into JPGs you can actually share.
- Runs on your device — the file is never sent anywhere
- No sign-up, no watermarks, no daily quotas
- Free, with no limit on how often you use it
How it works
TIFF is everywhere in scanning, printing and archiving, and almost nowhere else. No web browser will display one, most chat applications refuse them and the files are enormous, which is why converting to JPG is usually the first thing anyone does with one.
Why this one needs the media engine
Every other image conversion on this site uses the browser's own decoder. No browser decodes TIFF, so this routes through the same WebAssembly media engine the video tools use. That means a one-time download the first time you convert, after which it is cached.
What is lost, and it is worth knowing
TIFF is often 16 bits per channel and may hold layers, transparency, an embedded colour profile and multiple pages. JPG is 8 bits, single layer, no transparency and one page. Going from a 16-bit scan to JPG throws away editing headroom you cannot get back — keep the original if it is an archival scan.
Multi-page TIFFs
Fax and scanner software often produces a single TIFF holding many pages. Only the first page is converted here. If you need all of them as one document, the TIFF to PDF tool is the better route.
Quality
92 is close to indistinguishable for photographic content. For scanned text, high quality matters more than usual — JPG compression makes a mess of sharp black-on-white edges, and for documents PDF or PNG is often the better destination.
TIFF to JPG — questions
Why does the first conversion take longer?
No browser can decode TIFF, so a WebAssembly decoder is downloaded the first time. It is cached afterwards.
Does it convert all pages of a multi-page TIFF?
No, only the first. Use the TIFF to PDF tool to keep every page.
Will I lose quality?
Some. TIFF is often 16-bit and lossless; JPG is 8-bit and lossy. Keep the original if it is an archival scan.
Is transparency kept?
No. JPG has no transparency, so it is flattened.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is decoded and converted in your browser.
