TIFF → JPEG

Learn about the formats: What is JPEG? What is TIFF?

Convert bulky TIFF raster images into compact JPEG files instantly. This conversion is essential when you need to reduce file sizes for web sharing, email attachments, or standard viewing.

TIFF is a heavy raster image format often used for archiving or professional printing because it retains maximum detail without compression loss. JPEG is also a raster image format, but it employs lossy compression. When you convert TIFF to JPEG, you move from a format without losses to a format with losses, meaning part of the original image data is permanently discarded to achieve a much smaller file footprint.

Because TIFF is lossless and JPEG uses lossy compression, expect some data to be dropped. However, at high settings, the visual difference is minimal while file size decreases drastically.

Tips

Check if your TIFF has multiple layers or transparent areas, as JPEG does not support transparency and will replace transparent backgrounds with white.
Set the JPEG quality slider carefully to balance visual fidelity and file size reduction.
Remember that converting a multi-page TIFF might only export the first page or require splitting into separate JPEG files.

Common use cases

Uploading heavy scanned documents or archival photos to web forms that reject large TIFF files.
Emailing high-resolution professional scans to clients who only need standard JPEG viewing.
Optimizing storage space on local drives by replacing archive-ready TIFFs with compact JPEGs.
