TIFF to JPG Converter

Convert TIFF to JPG in your browser using UTIF.js for pure-client-side TIFF parsing. Supports LZW-compressed, uncompressed, and multi-page TIFFs (first page exported). Quality slider and background colour for transparency. Batch up to 10 files.

📖 How to Convert TIFF → JPG

  1. 1
    Upload TIFF file(s)

    Click or drag up to 10 TIFF or TIF files. Supported variants: uncompressed, LZW compressed, and ZIP/Deflate compressed TIFFs. Multi-page TIFFs export the first page.

  2. 2
    Set quality and background

    Quality 85 is recommended for photographs. TIFF files often have transparent or undefined background areas — choose a background colour to fill these since JPG does not support transparency.

  3. 3
    Download JPG files

    TIFF to JPG conversion dramatically reduces file size — a 50 MB uncompressed TIFF becomes 2–5 MB at JPG quality 85. Download each file individually.

📊 Format Comparison

TIFF type Typical size reduction
Uncompressed TIFF 90-95% smaller
LZW TIFF 70-85% smaller

Frequently Asked Questions — TIFF to JPG Converter

Why are TIFF files so large?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is designed for archival quality and professional print workflows. Uncompressed TIFF stores every pixel as raw data — a 300 DPI A4 scan at 24-bit colour = 8.27 × 11.69 inches × 300² pixels × 3 bytes ≈ 25 MB. Even LZW-compressed TIFFs retain full quality. Converting to JPG at quality 85 reduces this to 1–3 MB with minimal perceptible quality loss.

What TIFF formats are supported?

This tool uses UTIF.js to parse TIFF files, supporting: uncompressed TIFF (compression=1), LZW compressed TIFF (compression=5), PackBits compressed TIFF (compression=32773), and ZIP/Deflate TIFF (compression=8). Most scanner output TIFFs, Photoshop TIFFs, and TIFF from professional cameras are supported. CMYK TIFFs are converted to RGB. 16-bit channel TIFFs are downscaled to 8-bit.

Are multi-page TIFFs supported?

Yes — multi-page TIFFs (commonly created by document scanners) are detected. This tool exports the first page as JPG. For exporting all pages, each page would need to be extracted separately. Multi-page TIFF is common for scanned documents — each scan page is stored as a separate IFD (Image File Directory) within the TIFF container.

Does TIFF support transparency?

TIFF supports alpha channels (RGBA mode). Since JPG has no transparency, any transparent pixels in your TIFF are filled with the background colour you choose. The default is white, which is appropriate for most document and print TIFFs. If your TIFF has a transparent background you want to preserve, convert to PNG instead.

What is the typical file size reduction from TIFF to JPG?

Typical reductions at JPG quality 85: Uncompressed TIFF → JPG: 90–95% smaller. LZW TIFF → JPG: 70–85% smaller (LZW already applies lossless compression). Example: 50 MB uncompressed TIFF → 2–4 MB JPG. Scanner output TIFFs (300 DPI A4) of 25–30 MB become 1–3 MB JPG. The exact ratio depends on image complexity.

When should I keep TIFF instead of converting?

Keep TIFF for: print production (magazines, books, posters) where 300 DPI lossless quality is required. Archival scanning where files may be processed or re-scanned in future. Photoshop workflows with layers and masks. Medical imaging (DICOM uses TIFF variants). When file size is not a concern and quality preservation is paramount. Convert to JPG when: sharing online, emailing, uploading to web CMS, or when storage space is limited.
