TIFF to JPG Converter

Convert TIFF images to JPEG for web sharing and email. Reduce massive TIFF file sizes by up to 95% while preserving excellent visual quality. Free, instant, private.

What is TIFF and why is it so large?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a lossless format widely used in professional photography, scanning, publishing, and archival. It stores images without compression (or with lossless LZW compression), preserving every pixel perfectly. A single TIFF from a 24-megapixel camera can easily be 70 MB — fine for a professional archive, but impractical for sharing or web use.

When to convert TIFF to JPG

  • Email and messaging — Most email clients have attachment size limits; TIFF files are almost always too large to send.
  • Web publishing — Websites cannot display TIFF files directly. Convert to JPG or WebP before uploading.
  • Social media — All social platforms require JPEG, PNG, or WebP for uploads.
  • Client delivery — Clients generally don't need the full TIFF master; a high-quality JPG (90–95) is sufficient for print proofing and approval.

Browser TIFF support note

Most browsers can display single-layer TIFF files. Multi-layer TIFFs (with multiple IFDs) or TIFFs with CMYK color profiles may not decode correctly in all browsers. For problematic TIFFs, the tool will display an error — in that case, use Photoshop or IrfanView to convert manually.

Frequently asked questions

JPEG uses lossy compression, so yes — some quality is lost compared to the lossless TIFF original. At quality 90–95, the output JPG is visually excellent and suitable for printing and professional use. The trade-off is a file that's 20–30x smaller, making it practical for sharing and web use.
Yes. A TIFF-to-JPG conversion at quality 95 produces output suitable for professional printing. Most print services accept high-quality JPEGs. However, if you're submitting to a print service that specifically requires TIFF (some high-end publications do), keep the original TIFF and only use the JPG for proofing.
They are the same format — .tif is the short extension (8-character DOS limit era) and .tiff is the full extension. Both are identical formats and both are supported by this tool.
No — this tool converts single-frame images. Multi-page TIFFs (e.g., from scanned documents with multiple pages) will only have the first page converted. For multi-page TIFF to PDF or multi-page processing, use a dedicated desktop application like ImageMagick or Adobe Acrobat.
