TIFF to JPG Converter

Convert TIFF images to JPG. This depends on your browser being able to open TIFF, which in practice means Safari.

TIFF in the browser

TIFF is common in scanning, printing and archiving because it can store uncompressed or losslessly compressed images, high bit depths, CMYK colour and several pages in one file. Web browsers mostly do not support it. Safari can display many TIFF files; Chrome, Edge and Firefox generally cannot.

This tool uses the browser to decode the file, so in browsers without TIFF support the file is marked as failed. On Windows, the built-in Photos app or Paint can open a TIFF and save it as JPG. On a Mac, Preview can export to JPEG.

What to expect from complex TIFFs

  • Multi-page TIFF (for example a scanned document): only the page the browser displays, normally the first, is converted.
  • 16-bit TIFF: reduced to 8 bits per channel, the most a JPG can hold.
  • CMYK TIFF: converted to RGB for screen display. Colours may shift, so do not use the JPG for print proofing.
  • Transparency or layers: flattened, with transparent areas filled white.

Settings and output

  • Quality: JPG is written at quality 0.9 where the format uses a quality setting. There is no slider on converter pages; use the Image Compressor if you want to choose the quality yourself.
  • Size limits: images longer than 4096 px on either side are scaled down to 4096 px. If a converted file would be over 10 MB, it is reduced in steps until it fits.
  • Batches: add several files; three are converted at a time. One file downloads directly, two or more come as a ZIP.
  • Metadata: EXIF data (camera, date, GPS) and colour profiles are not carried into the new file.

Where the processing happens

When your browser supports TIFF, the conversion runs locally and nothing is uploaded.

Questions about this tool

My scanner saves TIFF files. How do I get JPGs to share?

Open this page in Safari and add the TIFF files. On Windows, Chrome, Edge and Firefox cannot read TIFF, so use the Photos app or Paint there to open the file and save it as JPG.

My TIFF has several pages. Are they all converted?

No. Only the page the browser shows, normally the first, is converted.

The colours changed after converting my print TIFF. Why?

Print files often use CMYK colours, which are converted to RGB for screens. Colours can shift, so do not use the JPG to check colours for printing.

Can I convert many files at once?

Yes. Add several files and press Convert Images once. Three are converted at the same time. Download All gives you one ZIP file, or you can download each file on its own.
