How to convert TIFF to JPG

  1. Drop your TIF or TIFF files onto the box above, or click Choose images to select them.
  2. Adjust the quality if you need smaller files, and choose a fill color for any transparent areas.
  3. Download each JPG, or all of them as a ZIP. Multi-page TIFFs give one JPG per page.

Why convert TIF to JPG?

TIFF files are big and poorly supported outside professional software. Chrome, Edge and Firefox don’t display them, many phone apps can’t preview them, and TIFF email attachments often arrive as files nobody can open. JPG solves both problems: it opens everywhere and is a fraction of the size.

Typical reasons to convert TIFF to JPG:

  • Sharing scans and photos. Send a scanned document or a photo from a professional camera without a 50 MB attachment.
  • Uploading to websites. Online shops, social networks and forms accept JPG but rarely TIFF.
  • Saving space. Archive copies in TIFF, everyday copies in JPG.

What’s supported

This converter reads the TIFF variants you’re likely to meet: uncompressed files, LZW, ZIP (Deflate) and PackBits compression, JPEG-compressed TIFFs from cameras and scanners, and CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 fax files. Black-and-white, grayscale, color, palette, CMYK and 16-bit images all work.

TIFF type In the JPG
Color or grayscale photo Same picture, much smaller file
Multi-page document One JPG per page
Transparent background Filled with white or your chosen color
Fax with non-square pixels Corrected to normal proportions
Rotated (orientation tag) Shown the right way up

TIFFs compressed with JPEG 2000, Zstandard or WebP, rare layouts such as separate color planes, and camera RAW files aren’t supported, and you’ll get a clear message if you add one.

Everything happens in your browser, so private scans stay on your device. For a single document from several pages, use TIFF to PDF.

Questions and answers

Is TIF the same as TIFF?

Yes. TIF and TIFF are two spellings of the same file extension for the Tagged Image File Format. Both work here.

What happens to a multi-page TIFF?

Each page becomes its own JPG, named after the file with a page number, such as scan-page-1.jpg and scan-page-2.jpg. Download all saves them together in one ZIP.

How much smaller will the JPG be?

Usually a lot. An uncompressed TIFF photo is often 10 to 20 times larger than a good-quality JPG of the same picture. For single-page files, the size change is shown next to the result.

Does the JPG lose quality?

JPG uses lossy compression, but at the default quality of 92 the difference is very hard to see. For pixel-perfect copies, such as images you'll keep editing, convert TIFF to PNG instead.

What about transparency, layers and 16-bit TIFFs?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white or a color you choose. Layered TIFFs from Photoshop are converted from their flattened image, and 16-bit images become standard 8-bit JPGs.

Are CMYK TIFFs from print work supported?

Yes. CMYK images are converted to RGB using a standard approximation of printing-ink colors. Color profiles aren't used, so colors can differ somewhat from what a color-managed app like Photoshop shows.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The TIFF is decoded by JavaScript running in your browser, and the JPG is made on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
