Convert TIFF to JPG
TIFF becomes a JPG dozens of times lighter: the same pixels in a file that travels by email and opens anywhere.
Convert TIFF to JPG when a file from a scanner or a print shop has to be sent to someone: a TIFF weighs tens of megabytes, upload forms refuse it, and the recipient's phone often will not open such a shot at all.
What happens when you convert TIFF to JPG
The image is saved again with lossy compression, and the file becomes dozens of times lighter. Width and height in pixels stay as they were, and nothing is scaled down.
Transparency, if the TIFF had any, does not carry over: JPG cannot store it, and a solid background takes its place. From a multi-page TIFF the first page goes into the JPG.
- Scans and photographs look the same after compression, with the difference visible only under heavy zoom.
- Drawings and text with thin lines suit JPG less well, since the outlines blur.
- Keep the original TIFF if the file is still going to print.
To keep transparency and crisp lines, take the TIFF to PNG converter. When the scan has to be a document rather than a picture, take the TIFF to PDF converter.
How to convert
- Upload your TIFF file to this page.
- Check that the target format is JPG.
- Start the conversion and wait for the finished file.
- Download the picture and look at it before sending.
Frequently asked questions
Does the pixel size change?
No. Width and height stay the same, and only the weight of the file and the way it is stored change.
What about a multi-page TIFF?
The first page of the file is saved as JPG. To get the rest, split the TIFF into separate files with a desktop program first.
