How to convert TIF to JPG
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the professional standard for scanned documents, print graphics, and archival photography. It supports lossless compression, 16-bit color depth, multiple pages per file, and extensive metadata, which is why print shops, archives, and medical imaging systems use it as the master format. The limitation is file size and compatibility: TIFF files can be tens or hundreds of megabytes, and most web tools, email clients, and consumer photo viewers do not support them.
Converting TIFF to JPEG gives you a universally compatible image at a fraction of the file size. This converter processes the TIFF locally in your browser using WebAssembly. The file never leaves your device. For multi-page TIFFs (common in scanned documents), the converter exports the first page as JPEG. You set the quality level to control the size-versus-fidelity tradeoff.
Upload the TIFF file
Drop your .tif or .tiff file onto the converter. Large TIFF files (50 MB or more) are handled entirely locally with no server upload size limit.
Set JPEG quality
Quality 85 to 90 is appropriate for photographs. For print proofing or press-quality checks, quality 95 preserves finer detail. Higher quality settings produce larger files.
Convert in browser
The TIFF decoder reads the image data (handling LZW, PackBits, ZIP, and uncompressed TIFF variants), and the JPEG encoder writes the compressed output. All processing happens in WebAssembly locally.
Download the JPEG
Save the JPEG. Compare it visually to the original at 100 percent zoom. Check areas with fine lines, text, and smooth gradients where JPEG artifacts are most visible.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose image quality converting TIFF to JPEG?
Yes. TIFF is lossless and JPEG is lossy. The JPEG encoder discards detail during compression. At quality 85 or above, the difference is not visible in most viewing conditions. For archival purposes, keep the original TIFF.
My TIFF is 16-bit per channel. What happens to the extra bit depth?
JPEG supports only 8 bits per channel (256 shades per color). The 16-bit TIFF data (65,536 shades) is reduced to 8-bit during the conversion. The tone mapping preserves the visible range, but the additional bit depth for highlight and shadow detail is lost.
Is the TIFF uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I convert a multi-page TIFF (like a scanned document)?
The converter exports the first page of a multi-page TIFF as JPEG. To convert all pages individually, you need a multi-page export tool or a desktop application like ImageMagick.
What is the typical file size reduction from TIFF to JPEG?
A 30 MB uncompressed TIFF photograph typically becomes 2 to 4 MB as a quality-85 JPEG. LZW-compressed TIFFs may be 8 to 12 MB, becoming 2 to 4 MB as JPEG. The reduction varies with image content.
