TIFF to JPG Converter In your browser, nothing uploaded
EXIF metadata is removed. Decoding and redrawing the image carries no GPS coordinates, camera model or timestamp across, so the file you download has none of it. If you need that data kept, copy the originals instead.

- Click download to save your converted JPG files. For multiple files, use "Download All as ZIP."
What is JPG?
JPG is the format the whole world eventually agreed on for photographs. Standardised in 1992, it uses lossy compression that drops the detail human vision is least sensitive to, reaching file sizes a small fraction of an uncompressed original. The loss is permanent. At sensible quality settings it is also invisible. JPG carries no transparency and handles text and hard edges poorly, but for photographic content it is unbeatable on the one axis that matters most in practice: everything opens it, on every operating system, in every browser, at every print counter.
What is a TIFF File?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format commonly used in photography, publishing, and professional printing. TIFF files can be very large and are not supported by web browsers, making conversion necessary for sharing or web use.
TIFF vs JPG
TIFF is an archival format, and JPG is a format for distributing things. That is the whole story of this conversion. A TIFF is typically stored uncompressed or losslessly compressed, often at high bit depth and sometimes holding several pages — which is how a scan ends up at tens or hundreds of megabytes, preserving everything the scanner captured. That is what you want in a master copy. It is also precisely what you do not want when emailing a document to somebody. JPG trades a small and usually invisible amount of fidelity for files one or two orders of magnitude smaller, and for the fact that everything opens them. Keep the TIFF as your archive and send the JPG.
Why Convert TIFF to JPG?
- A TIFF scan routinely runs 50 to 200 MB, where the same page as a JPG is a fraction of a megabyte, which is the difference between an attachment that goes and one that bounces.
- No browser will render a TIFF at all, while a JPG displays in every one of them.
- Attachment caps and web forms reject a TIFF on size grounds long before a JPG comes anywhere near the limit, and those caps have not moved in years.
- A recipient with nothing installed still opens a JPG, where a TIFF wants a viewer.
- Document scanners and fax software default to TIFF, while everyone downstream actually wants the JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work in Chrome and Firefox?
Yes, and it is worth saying so, because most in-browser converters cannot do it. No browser will decode a TIFF on its own. Chrome and Firefox throw an error, and Safari is no better — the operating system underneath it knows the format perfectly well, and the browser still will not use it. So this site ships its own TIFF decoder, written in JavaScript and run on a background thread, and it does the work in every browser including Safari. The file never leaves your device while that happens.
What happens with a multi-page TIFF?
You get the first page. TIFF can hold many pages in one file, and scanners and fax software use that constantly for multi-sheet documents, but a JPG holds exactly one image. If you need all of them, use a dedicated multi-page TIFF splitter instead. Better to say so here than to quietly hand back page one of twelve.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
Usually dramatically. A TIFF is commonly stored uncompressed or losslessly compressed, so a scanned page can occupy 50 MB where the same page as a quality-92 JPG lands well under a megabyte. Reductions of 95 percent and up are ordinary. The exact figure depends on how the TIFF was written. Some already use LZW or ZIP compression internally and start out smaller.
Will I lose quality, and does that matter?
Some quality does go, because JPG is lossy and TIFF generally is not. At 92 you will not see it on a photograph or on an ordinary document scan. It matters when the TIFF is an archival master, a medical or forensic image, or a piece of artwork you intend to keep editing rather than merely send. In those cases convert to PNG instead, which is lossless and still far smaller than the TIFF, or keep the original as your archive copy and treat the JPG purely as the shareable version.
