Convert JPG (photo) to TIFF
JPG unfolds into an uncompressed TIFF: same pixels, a file dozens of times heavier, and no quality regained.
Convert JPG to TIFF where JPG is not accepted: a print shop, a magazine's art desk, a research lab or an archival storage system expects the shot in TIFF and nothing else.
What happens when you convert JPG to TIFF
The image is written again, this time without compression. Width and height in pixels stay as they were and the colours do not shift, while the file grows dozens of times over, because every dot takes room.
No quality is added along the way. Whatever JPG smoothed away during compression stays smoothed: TIFF carefully preserves the picture in the state it received it.
- No fresh losses appear, so the shot can be edited and saved again without degrading.
- Halos and blocks around contrasting edges, if the original had them, travel along with the picture.
- No transparency appears, since the JPG never had any.
When you need a lighter file for a site or an email, take the JPG to PNG converter. For old programs and equipment there is the JPG to BMP converter.
How to convert
- Upload your JPG file to this page.
- Check that the target format is TIFF.
- Start the conversion and wait for the finished file.
- Download the TIFF and pass it on where it is expected.
Frequently asked questions
Will the photo look better?
No. TIFF keeps exactly the pixels the JPG had, and it cannot bring back what the earlier compression removed.
Why did the file grow dozens of times?
The result is written without compression, and its size follows the number of dots and the colour depth alone.
