What is JPG?
JPG (JPEG) is the format the whole world agreed on for photographs. Standardised in 1992, it uses lossy compression that discards the detail human vision is least sensitive to, reaching file sizes a small fraction of an uncompressed original. The loss is permanent, and at sensible quality settings invisible. JPG carries no transparency and handles text and hard edges poorly, but for photographic content it is unbeatable on one axis that matters enormously in practice: absolutely 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 distribution format, which is the whole story of this conversion. A TIFF is typically stored uncompressed or with lossless compression, often at high bit depth, sometimes holding multiple pages — the result being files of tens or hundreds of megabytes that preserve everything the scanner or camera captured. That is exactly what you want for a master copy and exactly what you do not want when emailing a document to somebody. JPG trades a small, usually invisible amount of fidelity for files one or two orders of magnitude smaller, and for near-universal openability. Keep the TIFF as your archive; send the JPG.
Why Convert TIFF to JPG?
- Enormous size reduction — TIFF scans routinely run 50-200 MB, while the same page as a JPG is typically a fraction of a megabyte.
- Browsers cannot display TIFF — no browser will render one natively, so a TIFF is useless for the web, for a CMS, or for anything shared by link.
- Email and upload limits — attachment caps and web forms reject TIFF files on size grounds long before they reject JPGs.
- Universal opening — a recipient with no imaging software at all can still open a JPG; a TIFF may need a dedicated viewer.
- Sharing scans and faxes — document scanners and fax software default to TIFF, and JPG is what everyone downstream actually wants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work in Chrome and Firefox?
Yes. This is worth stating plainly because most browser-based converters cannot do it: no browser can decode TIFF on its own — Chrome and Firefox refuse it outright, and only Safari manages it by borrowing the operating system's decoder. We ship a TIFF decoder in JavaScript and run it in a background thread, so the conversion behaves the same in every browser and, like everything else here, the file never leaves your device.
What happens with a multi-page TIFF?
You get the first page. TIFF can hold many pages in one file — scanners and fax software use this constantly for multi-sheet documents — but a JPG holds exactly one image, so only the first page is converted. If you need every page, a dedicated multi-page TIFF splitter is the right tool; we would rather tell you that than quietly hand back one page of a twelve-page document.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
Usually dramatically. TIFF is commonly stored uncompressed or losslessly compressed, so a scanned page can occupy 50 MB or more 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 use LZW or ZIP compression already and start smaller.
Will I lose quality, and does that matter?
Some quality is lost, because JPG is lossy and TIFF generally is not. At the default of 92 you will not see it on a photograph or a normal document scan. It matters if the TIFF is a master archive, a medical or forensic image, or artwork you intend to keep editing — in those cases convert to PNG instead, which is lossless and still far smaller than TIFF, or keep the original TIFF as your archive copy and treat the JPG purely as the shareable version.
