Convert TIFF to JPG
You convert TIFF to JPG by dropping the .tiff or .tif into the converter on this page and clicking Convert to JPG. A pure-JavaScript decoder reads the TIFF and re-encodes it as a JPG inside your browser, so the conversion runs on your device and the file is never uploaded.

Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF is the format scanners, fax archives and print workflows lean on, prized for fidelity but awkward everywhere else: the files are large, plenty of browsers and apps will not preview them, and most websites reject a .tiff outright. You typically meet one after scanning a document, exporting from print software, or pulling an image out of an archive. Converting to JPG turns that unwieldy, picky file into something you can email, attach to a form, post online or simply open with a double-click on any machine, at a fraction of the size.
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.
What is JPG?
JPG (or JPEG, for the Joint Photographic Experts Group that standardized it in 1992) is the most widely supported image format ever shipped. It uses lossy DCT compression tuned for photographs, which buys small files at the cost of discarding fine detail, and it has no transparency support. Practically everything that can open an image can open a JPG.
Quality and what to expect
Two honest limits. First, this is a lossy re-encode at the JPEG default quality, so it reduces size substantially but discards some detail and can soften the crisp edges of scanned text. Second, and important for TIFF specifically: many TIFF files hold multiple pages or images, and this converter only converts the FIRST page. If your TIFF is a multi-page scan, the other pages are not included in the JPG output. TIFF is usually opaque, so transparency is rarely at stake, and metadata is not copied into the result.
TIFF to JPG FAQ
My TIFF has several pages. Will I get all of them?
No. This converter reads only the first page or image inside the TIFF and turns that into a JPG. Additional pages of a multi-page scan are not included, so split the TIFF first if you need every page as a separate file.
Why convert a TIFF to JPG at all?
TIFF files are large and many browsers, apps and upload forms will not open or accept them. JPG is universally supported and far smaller, so converting makes a scan or print export easy to email, post or attach anywhere.
Does the conversion lose quality?
Some. JPG is lossy and encodes at a default quality, so fine detail is reduced and scanned text edges can soften slightly. The result is fine for sharing and viewing, but keep the TIFF if you need archival-grade fidelity.
Is my TIFF uploaded during conversion?
Never. The TIFF is decoded and the JPG written by code running inside your browser tab, on your own machine. Nothing about the file crosses the network, and you can watch the network panel to confirm it stays put.
