How to Convert TIFF to JPG
Updated September 18, 2026
TIFF is a high-quality format used by scanners, cameras, and print workflows. It is excellent for archiving and editing, but the files are huge and most web tools, email clients, and phones do not display them well. Converting TIFF to JPG makes the image far smaller and openable everywhere.
The fastest method
1. Open the TIFF to JPG converter. 2. Upload your TIFF file. 3. Download the JPG.
The conversion runs in your browser — the file is never uploaded, which matters especially for TIFF because the files are large and a server upload would be slow.
Why TIFF files are so large
TIFF usually stores images without lossy compression, keeping every pixel exactly as captured. That is why a scanned page or a photo can be tens of megabytes. It is the right choice for a master copy you will edit or print, but wasteful for anything that just needs to be viewed or shared. JPG compresses the same image to a fraction of the size with no visible difference on screen.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
It varies with the image, but converting a TIFF to a good-quality JPG commonly cuts the file to well under a tenth of its original size. A 30 MB scanned document can become a 1–2 MB JPG that looks identical on screen.
Keep your TIFF if you will edit or print
Convert to JPG for sharing, uploading, and viewing — but keep the original TIFF if the image is headed for professional printing or further editing. JPG's compression is lossy, so each re-save loses a little more; the TIFF is your pristine master. If you need to shrink the JPG further for a size limit, use the compress to target size tool.
Summary
1. Use the TIFF to JPG converter to make the image small and universally viewable. 2. Expect a dramatic size reduction with no visible quality loss on screen. 3. Keep the TIFF as your master copy for printing or editing.
