TIFF to JPG Converter

How to Convert TIFF to JPG Online

1. Upload Your TIFF Files: Click "+ Add Files" or drag and drop one or more .tif/.tiff files into the browser window. Batch upload is supported — scanned multi-page documents, photo archives, and CMYK print files 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 email or upload cap exactly.
3. Resize the Output (Optional): Use Resolution Percentage (default "Keep original") to scale down, pick a Preset Resolution, or enter explicit Width / Height in pixels with aspect ratio locked. Set File extension to JPG or JPEG depending on what downstream software expects.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert". Each page of a multi-page TIFF becomes its own JPG, numbered sequentially, and a ZIP archive is offered when more than one output file is produced. No watermarks, no account required.

Why Convert TIFF to JPG?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format, finalized as TIFF 6.0 in 1992) is the archive-grade container of choice for scanners, professional photography pipelines, and print prepress 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. Converting from one to the other is almost always about making a working copy that you can actually email, embed, or upload.

• Email-able scans — A 600 DPI uncompressed letter-size TIFF runs 25-100 MB; the same scan as a quality-92 JPG typically lands at 1-4 MB, comfortably under Gmail's 25 MB attachment cap and Outlook.com's 25 MB limit.
• Web and social publishing — Browsers and most CMS uploaders don't render TIFF; JPG is universally supported by every major browser alongside PNG, GIF, and WebP, so social and CMS uploaders accept it without conversion.
• Faster archive browsing — Lightroom, Photos, Files apps, and Windows Explorer thumbnail JPGs instantly while TIFF previews can stall on large folders.
• Phone and tablet viewing — Stock iOS Photos and Android Gallery open JPG 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.
• Cheaper cloud storage — Replacing a TIFF photo library with quality-90 JPGs typically cuts storage by 90% or more, freeing room within iCloud's free 5 GB or Google One's 15 GB tier.
• Print-ready CMYK to screen-ready sRGB — TIFFs exported from InDesign or photo-retouching pipelines are often in CMYK with embedded ICC profiles. XConvert flattens them to 8-bit sRGB JPG so the colors look right on a phone or in a browser.

TIFF vs JPG — Format Comparison

Quality Preset → Output Size Guide

Approximate file sizes for a single 300 DPI 8.5×11 in (2550×3300 px) photo-scan TIFF that started at about 25 MB uncompressed. Your numbers will vary with image content.

For more compression headroom after conversion, run the output through Compress JPG. Need the reverse direction? See Convert JPG to TIFF. For single-file PDF deliverables instead of separate images, TIFF to PDF keeps every page in one document.

Multi-Page TIFF Handling

Multi-page TIFFs use the IFD-chain structure defined in the TIFF 6.0 specification — each page is a separate Image File Directory inside one container file, common output from document scanners, fax machines, and medical imaging tools. XConvert expands every IFD into its own JPG (scan-1.jpg, scan-2.jpg, …) and delivers the set as a ZIP when the count is greater than one. If you'd rather keep the pages together, convert to PDF with TIFF to PDF, or convert to JPG first and re-bundle with Merge Image to PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my JPG be than the original 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 JPG. 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 start to become noticeable around quality 70-75, especially on high-contrast edges, gradients, and text. Keep the TIFF if you plan to edit further or print at large sizes — JPG should be treated as a delivery format, not a working master.

What happens when I upload a multi-page TIFF?

Each page is extracted as its own JPG, 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.jpg through filename-12.jpg. 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. If you need pixel-perfect color for print, keep the CMYK TIFF master and only use the JPG for screen review.

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

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

What's the difference between .jpg and .jpeg in the File extension dropdown?

They are the same format — JPEG file interchange (ISO/IEC 10918-1) — just with a different filename extension. Pick .jpg for maximum compatibility with legacy Windows tools that historically expected three-letter extensions; pick .jpeg if your CMS, asset manager, or workflow specifically requires it.

Can I batch convert a folder of TIFFs at once?

Yes. Drop in as many files as you like and they're processed in one session with the same quality and resolution settings applied to each. Outputs arrive as a ZIP archive.

Is the conversion private — where are my 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. If you also need to shrink the source TIFF before conversion, Compress TIFF reduces it losslessly first.

Should I convert to JPG or PNG?

JPG 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 JPG.
