TIFF to JPG Converter

Convert a TIFF or TIF scan to JPG in your browser. Common TIFF compressions are decoded locally, with transparency flattened onto white.

TIFF to JPG

Result

The converted JPEG appears here.

Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.

How to use it

  1. Choose a TIFF or TIF file.
  2. Set the JPEG quality. A high value keeps scan detail; a lower one shrinks the file.
  3. Convert and check the page note, dimensions and output size before downloading.

Limits worth knowing

  • First page only. A multi-page TIFF is not turned into several JPEGs.
  • BigTIFF and uncommon compression variants are refused rather than approximated.
  • JPEG is lossy and cannot store transparency; transparent areas become white.
  • TIFF metadata and colour profiles are not copied into the output.
  • Files above 50 MB and images above 40 megapixels are refused.

Why TIFF files are awkward to share

TIFF is a flexible container used by scanners, print workflows and archival systems. It can hold several pages, uncompressed pixels, CMYK colour and specialist compression. That flexibility is useful in production and inconvenient everywhere else: many websites and forms accept JPEG but not TIFF.

This converter decodes the first page to RGBA, applies the orientation tag, then encodes a standard JPEG. The pixels keep their original dimensions; nothing is resized behind your back.

Scans, colour and file size

A 300 DPI A4 scan can be 25 megapixels or more. JPEG at quality 90 is usually a sensible balance for a document scan, while quality 75 is enough for a preview. The output size is measured after encoding, so the number shown is the file you will actually download.

CMYK TIFFs are converted to RGB by the decoder. Very specialised print colour profiles are not preserved, so treat the JPEG as a screen and sharing copy rather than a press-ready replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Does TIFF to JPG Converter upload my files to any server?

No. TIFF to JPG Converter runs in your browser, and the file is read there rather than sent to a server for processing. Our host still sees ordinary page-request metadata, which is described on the privacy page.

Is TIFF to JPG Converter free to use?

Yes, TIFF to JPG Converter is free, with no paid tier, no account, and no watermark added to your output. The limits are technical rather than commercial: file size, page count and supported formats are listed on this page.

What file formats and sizes are supported?

TIFF to JPG Converter supports .tif, .tiff files up to 50MB directly in your browser.

Which TIFF variants are supported?

Common uncompressed, LZW, PackBits and DEFLATE TIFF files are decoded. BigTIFF, JPEG-in-TIFF and some specialised or floating-point variants may be refused. The tool reports a decode error instead of writing a blank JPEG.

What happens to extra TIFF pages?

Only the first page is converted, because one JPEG cannot hold several pages. The result panel reports the page count when the file contains more than one.

Is the TIFF orientation tag applied?

Yes. The EXIF orientation value stored in tag 274 is applied before encoding, so a scan that displays upright in a TIFF viewer should also be upright in the JPEG.

Does JPG keep the TIFF’s transparency?

No. JPEG has no alpha channel. Transparent areas are flattened onto white, and the result panel says so before you download.
