TIFF to JPEG Converter

How to Convert TIFF to JPEG Online

1. Upload Your TIFF Files: Click "+ Add Files" or drag .tif / .tiff files into the browser window. Batch upload is supported — scanned multi-page documents, photo archives, and CMYK print masters are all accepted.
2. Pick a Quality Preset: Open Advanced Options and choose Quality Preset — "Very High (Recommended)" keeps photo detail at roughly 90-95% JPEG quality. Switch to Specific file size when you need to hit an exact upload cap.
3. Resize the Output (Optional): Use Resolution Percentage (default "Keep original"), pick a Preset Resolution, or enter explicit Width / Height in pixels with aspect ratio locked. Set File extension to JPEG (or JPG — same format, different filename).
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert". Each page of a multi-page TIFF becomes its own JPEG, numbered in document order, with a ZIP archive when more than one file is produced. No watermarks, no account required.

Why Convert TIFF to JPEG?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format, finalized as TIFF 6.0 in 1992) is the archive-grade container scanners, photographers, and print shops rely on because it supports lossless compression (LZW, ZIP/Deflate, PackBits, CCITT Group 4) or no compression at all. JPEG (ITU-T T.81 / ISO/IEC 10918-1, also 1992) trades pixel-perfect fidelity for an order-of-magnitude smaller file using 8×8 block DCT compression. The .jpeg extension is the original three-letter-plus-one form used on Unix and macOS — identical bytes to .jpg, just spelled out (more on that below).

• Email-able scans — A 600 DPI uncompressed letter-size TIFF runs 25-100 MB; the same scan as a quality-92 JPEG typically lands at 1-4 MB, comfortably under Gmail's 25 MB attachment cap and Outlook.com's 25 MB limit.
• Web and CMS uploads — TIFF isn't rendered by browsers or accepted by most CMS uploaders; JPEG is universally supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari alongside PNG, GIF, and WebP, so it goes straight into WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, and social uploaders.
• Asset-pipeline compatibility — Some DAMs, stock-photo platforms, and print-on-demand services specifically require the .jpeg filename extension in their upload rules rather than .jpg. Selecting JPEG here writes the longer extension so the file passes those validators on first try.
• Faster archive browsing — Lightroom, macOS Photos, Files apps, and Windows Explorer thumbnail JPEGs instantly while TIFF previews can stall on large folders.
• Phone and tablet viewing — Stock iOS Photos and Android Gallery open JPEG without third-party apps. iOS opens single-page TIFF in Files but not in the Photos roll, and most Android viewers skip multi-page TIFFs entirely.
• Print CMYK to screen sRGB — TIFFs exported from InDesign or photo-retouching software are often CMYK with embedded ICC profiles. XConvert flattens them to 8-bit sRGB JPEG so colors render correctly on phones and in browsers.

TIFF vs JPEG — Format Comparison

Quality Preset → Output Size Guide

Approximate sizes for a single 300 DPI 8.5×11 in (2550×3300 px) photo-scan TIFF that started near 25 MB uncompressed. Numbers vary with image content.

For more compression headroom after conversion, run the output through Compress JPG (it handles both .jpg and .jpeg). Need the reverse direction? See Convert JPG to TIFF. For a single bundled deliverable instead of separate images, TIFF to PDF keeps every page in one document. Identical to this page but with the .jpg extension: Convert TIFF to JPG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is .jpeg actually different from .jpg?

No — the bytes inside the file are identical. Both extensions point to the same JPEG File Interchange Format (ISO/IEC 10918-1). The shorter .jpg exists only because early versions of Windows and the FAT-16 file system required three-letter extensions under the MS-DOS 8.3 naming rules, while Unix and classic Mac OS had no such limit and stuck with .jpeg. You can rename one to the other and the file still opens.

When should I pick .jpeg over .jpg?

Use .jpeg when a downstream system specifically requires it — some DAMs, asset-validation scripts, stock-photo upload rules, and print-on-demand services check the literal filename and reject .jpg. Use .jpg for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows tools and most file dialogs. If neither end of the workflow cares, .jpg is the more common convention on the web.

How much smaller will my JPEG be than the TIFF?

For typical photo and scan content, expect an 85-95% size reduction at Very High quality. A 50 MB uncompressed TIFF scan usually lands between 2 MB and 5 MB as a quality-92 JPEG. The ratio shrinks for already-compressed source TIFFs (LZW or ZIP) and grows for high-DPI scans of busy pages, but the order-of-magnitude reduction holds in nearly all cases.

Will I lose visible quality compared to the TIFF original?

At the Very High preset (~92), the difference is invisible on screens for photographic content and most text scans. Compression artifacts become noticeable around quality 70-75, especially on high-contrast edges, gradients, and small text. Keep the TIFF if you plan to edit further or print at large sizes — JPEG should be treated as a delivery format, not a working master.

What happens when I upload a multi-page TIFF?

Each Image File Directory in the source TIFF is extracted as its own JPEG, numbered in document order, and the set is returned as a ZIP if there's more than one output. A 12-page scan produces filename-1.jpeg through filename-12.jpeg. If you need a single combined file, convert to PDF instead with TIFF to PDF.

Are CMYK TIFFs from InDesign or Photoshop handled correctly?

Yes. CMYK TIFFs and TIFFs with embedded ICC profiles are flattened to 8-bit sRGB during conversion so the colors render correctly in browsers, phone galleries, and email clients. Keep the CMYK TIFF as your print master and use the JPEG output only for screen review and delivery.

Does it work with .tif files from a scanner or fax?

Yes. Both .tif and .tiff are accepted, including CCITT Group 4 fax-encoded TIFFs (1-bit black-and-white scans) and multi-strip variants commonly produced by document scanners. The 1-bit images are upsampled to grayscale JPEG so they display correctly anywhere a JPEG is expected.

Should I convert to JPEG or PNG?

JPEG for photographs, scans, and any continuous-tone image where small file size matters. PNG for screenshots, line art, logos with sharp edges, and anything with transparency, since PNG is lossless. If your TIFF source is line-art or text-only, TIFF to PNG often produces a smaller and cleaner result than JPEG.

Is conversion private — where are the files processed?

Uploaded TIFFs are converted on XConvert's servers and removed automatically after the session. No sign-up is required, files aren't shared with third parties, and there's no watermark on the output. To shrink an oversized source TIFF before conversion, Compress TIFF reduces it losslessly first.
