CloudConverterConvert a TIFF to a JPG to turn a large scan or print-quality image into a file that opens everywhere and is easy to email or upload. A TIFF can be tens of megabytes, while the same picture as a JPG is usually a fraction of that.
TIFF vs JPG: what changes
TIFF is built for quality and archiving. It stores image data with little or no loss, supports high color depth and is common in scanning, photography and print work. JPG is lossy and much smaller, and it is accepted by browsers, phones, social networks and upload forms. Converting trades some fine detail and color depth for a file that is far easier to share.
When to convert TIFF to JPG
Use it when a website or form rejects TIFF, when you need to email a scan, or when you want a lightweight web copy of a print image. Keep the TIFF as your master copy.
Before you convert
A TIFF can contain several pages or layers, but a JPG holds only one image. Transparent areas are filled with a solid color, and colors from print-oriented files can look slightly different after conversion, so compare the result with the original.
Tips for converting TIFF to JPG
Scanned documents and photographs convert well. If your TIFF is a scan of text, open the JPG at full size and check that the text is still sharp. Very large TIFF files take longer to upload, so use a stable connection.
Convert TIFF to JPG on any device
The converter runs in your browser, so the steps are the same everywhere. On Windows or Mac, drag the .tif or .tiff file onto the upload box. On iPhone and Android, save the TIFF to the Files app or your gallery, open this page, tap the upload box and select the file. Download the JPG when it finishes.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my TIFF open or upload?
Many browsers, phones and web forms do not support TIFF. A JPG opens almost everywhere.
Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?
Some. JPG is lossy, so very fine detail and the high color depth of a TIFF are reduced. For viewing and sharing the difference is usually small, but keep the TIFF if you may print or edit the image later.
Does it accept both .tif and .tiff?
Yes. Both extensions are the same format.
Can I convert a multi-page TIFF?
A JPG holds only one image, so a multi-page TIFF cannot be kept as a single file.
Does the JPG keep the same resolution?
Yes. The width and height in pixels stay the same. Only the format changes.
Is it free to convert TIFF to JPG?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Are my files kept after conversion?
No. Uploaded files are processed and deleted after your download. We do not keep a library of your files.
Is there a file size limit?
Uploads are capped at 50 MB per image.
