TIFF files preserve maximum image quality but are far too large for web use, email, or casual sharing. A single high-resolution TIFF scan can exceed 50MB. Converting to JPG reduces file size by up to 95% while maintaining visual quality suitable for viewing and sharing. ConvertFile processes the conversion on our secure server using Sharp.

Why Convert TIFF to JPG?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was created by Aldus Corporation (now Adobe) in 1986 for the publishing and printing industry. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, CMYK color spaces, and extremely high resolutions. The trade-off is file size: TIFF files are massive.

JPG reduces a TIFF file by up to 95% with minimal visible quality loss at 85-90% quality. This makes the image suitable for email, web publishing, social media, and any platform that does not accept TIFF. If you received scanned documents, professional photography, or print-ready files in TIFF format, converting to JPG makes them shareable.

What is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was created by Aldus Corporation (now Adobe) in 1986. It is the standard format for professional photography, scanning, and print production. TIFF supports lossless compression (LZW, ZIP), uncompressed storage, multiple pages in a single file, CMYK and Lab color spaces, and extremely high bit depths (8, 16, 32-bit). These features make TIFF ideal for archival and print, but the resulting files are very large and not compatible with web browsers.

What is JPG?

JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used image format on the web. It uses lossy compression to produce small files, discarding visual information that the human eye is unlikely to notice. At 85-90% quality, most people cannot tell the difference between a JPG and the original. JPG does not support transparency, and re-saving a JPG repeatedly causes gradual quality loss, a process called generation loss.

Secure Server-Side Processing

Your TIFF files are processed on our secure server using Sharp, a high-performance image processing library, and temporarily stored. Files are automatically deleted within 1 hour. Server-side processing is required because browsers cannot natively decode TIFF files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my JPG be?

TIFF files are typically very large (10-50MB+). Converting to JPG at 90% quality reduces file size by 90-95%. A 30MB TIFF scan might become 1-2MB as a JPG.

Is TIFF to JPG conversion lossy?

Yes. JPG uses lossy compression, so some pixel data is discarded. At 85-90% quality, the visual difference from the original TIFF is not noticeable for photographs and scans.

What happens to CMYK colors?

JPG only supports RGB color space. CMYK TIFF files are converted to RGB during processing. For print-critical work where CMYK accuracy matters, keep the original TIFF.

Can I convert multi-page TIFF files?

The converter processes the first page of a multi-page TIFF. JPG does not support multiple pages. For multi-page documents, consider converting to PDF instead.

Are my files secure?

Yes. Files are processed on our secure server and temporarily stored. They are automatically deleted within 1 hour of processing.

Why can I not convert TIFF in the browser?

Web browsers do not natively support TIFF decoding. Server-side processing with Sharp handles TIFF files of any type, including LZW-compressed, multi-page, and CMYK variants.

What quality setting should I use?

For photographs and scans, 85-90% gives excellent quality with dramatic file size reduction. For images with fine text, use 92-95%. Going above 95% gives diminishing returns.

Will the image dimensions change?

No. The output JPG has the exact same width and height as the input TIFF. Only the file format and compression method change.
