About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format from 1986 that can store lossless or lossy images, several pages and high bit depths in one file.
Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.
Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
Convert TIFF to JPEG online free, no account required — JPEG is the universal lossy photo format.
Change TIFF to JPEG without losing quality — convert TIFF to JPEG free in your browser.
Why are my scanned TIFF files hundreds of megabytes? TIFF keeps every detail for print and archival, usually uncompressed — after the archive copy is safe, a JPG or PNG version is far easier to send and share.
About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
What changes when you convert TIFF to JPEG
- The TIFF picture is re-encoded as JPEG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas of the TIFF are filled with a solid background colour (white, unless you choose another one in the settings).
Settings you can change
Before you convert TIFF to JPEG, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted JPEG file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
TIFF to JPEG: questions and answers
Does converting TIFF to JPEG reduce quality?
The TIFF picture is re-encoded as JPEG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
What is the difference between TIFF and JPEG?

Do I need an account to convert TIFF to JPEG?
No. You can convert TIFF to JPEG without an account; signing in raises the file-size and daily limits.
How long is my converted JPEG file kept?
The JPEG file you convert from TIFF is kept for 2 hours, then deleted automatically.
Do the transparent areas of my TIFF survive in JPEG?
JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas of the TIFF are filled with a solid background colour (white, unless you choose another one in the settings).
Is the JPEG an exact copy of my TIFF?
The TIFF picture is re-encoded as JPEG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
