TIFF converter
TIFF lives in scanner output and print pipelines; the rest of the software world mostly shrugs at it. The conversions below decode the first image in the file right in your browser and hand you a format everything opens.
What is TIFF?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the 1986-vintage container that print, publishing, scanning and GIS workflows standardized on: it can hold multiple pages, layers, high bit depths and a zoo of compression schemes. That flexibility is why photo labs love it and why browsers and most consumer apps refuse it. A .tiff that escapes a professional pipeline usually needs converting before anyone else can look at it.

Common questions about TIFF
- What is a TIFF file?
- TIFF (.tif or .tiff) is a flexible raster format common in photography, scanning, and publishing. It can store high-bit-depth, lossless images and even multiple pages, which makes it great for archiving and print work. The downside is large file sizes and uneven support in everyday apps and web tools, so you often convert a TIFF for sharing.
- How do I convert a TIFF to JPG or PNG?
- Drop your .tif or .tiff into hushvert and choose JPG or PNG. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with no upload. Pick PNG to keep a lossless copy and any transparency, or JPG for a much smaller file that opens everywhere, which is the usual choice for sharing a scan or photo.
- Why are my TIFF files so large, and will converting shrink them?
- TIFFs are often stored uncompressed or losslessly at high bit depth, so they're big by design. Converting to JPG applies efficient lossy compression and typically shrinks the file dramatically; converting to PNG stays lossless and may shrink it modestly. For the smallest result, choose JPG.
- Does hushvert support multi-page TIFFs, and is the conversion private?
- hushvert converts TIFF to JPG and PNG client-side in your browser, so the file is never uploaded; you can confirm that in airplane mode or the Network tab. Conversion is one direction only (out of TIFF), and standard single-image TIFFs are the expected input. You can verify the no-upload behavior on our /privacy-proof page.
