Convert TIFF to JPEG
Convert TIFF to JPEG right in your browser — free, private, nothing is uploaded. Small files for photos — set quality 1–100.
Convert TIFF to JPEG →Free · Private — runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded
TIFF is the print-and-scan workhorse: a flexible, usually lossless container beloved by scanners, print shops and photo archives. Files are often huge and can even hold multiple pages, which makes them awkward to share.
JPEG is the default format for photographs — lossy compression tuned for natural images keeps files small, and support is universal. It has no alpha channel, so transparency is always flattened.
Converting TIFF to JPEG is almost always about size: JPEG's photo-tuned lossy compression produces far smaller files than TIFF for photographic content, and every app on earth opens the result.
TIFF vs JPEG
| TIFF | JPEG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | lossless — nothing discarded | lossy — some detail traded for size |
| Codec / container | TIFF container, usually uncompressed or LZW | lossy DCT-compressed JPEG |
| Typical file size | large to very large | small — the quality knob trades size against artifacts |
| Best for | scanning, print production and photo archives | photos and everyday web images |
| Strength | high-fidelity master files | small files for photos; opens absolutely everywhere |
| Watch out for | often huge; can hold multiple pages, and this converter is built for single images | no transparency; visible artifacts at low quality settings |
| Compatibility | great in imaging software; browsers generally won't display it | universal |
| Transparency | possible, but uncommon | no — transparent areas are flattened |
| Animation | no — multi-page instead | no |
How the conversion works
- Choose your TIFF image. The button above opens the converter with JPEG already selected as the target format.
- Set the quality from 1 to 100 (default 85) — higher keeps more detail, lower shrinks the file.
- Run the conversion and download the JPEG image. Everything happens locally — ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly runs in your browser tab, your image is never uploaded, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
What to expect
This step is lossy. JPEG discards some detail to hit its file sizes — at the default quality of 85 that's hard to see on photos, but sharp-edged graphics and text show artifacts sooner. Raise the quality toward 100 for critical images, and keep the TIFF original in case you need to re-export.
Multi-page TIFFs: TIFF can hold several pages in one file, and this converter is designed for single-image files — split multi-page documents first.
FAQ
How much quality do I lose converting TIFF to JPEG?
At the default quality of 85 the difference is hard to spot on photos. Graphics with sharp edges and text show lossy artifacts sooner — try quality 90+ there, or stick with a lossless format. Your TIFF original is untouched either way.
How much smaller will the JPEG be than my TIFF?
Usually dramatically smaller: TIFF files carry little to no compression, while JPEG at the default quality of 85 compresses photographic content to a small fraction of that.
Is my TIFF image uploaded when converting to JPEG?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — your image never leaves your device, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
