Convert TIFF to JPG

TIFF is the archival format of scanners and print shops: high quality, but often huge and unviewable in ordinary apps and browsers. Converting to JPG gives you a compact file you can actually email, upload, and preview anywhere. PNGful does it in your browser.

    Single files or everything as a ZIP.

Why convert TIFF to JPG?

  • JPG opens on every device and website, unlike TIFF, which most browsers and image viewers refuse.
  • TIFFs are frequently enormous; the JPG is a small fraction of the size, ideal for sharing and uploads.
  • Convert a batch of scanned pages at once and download them together as a ZIP.
  • Free, watermark-free, and no sign-up required.

Good to know

  • TIFF is typically lossless; JPEG is lossy, so converting trades some fidelity for a much smaller file. A high quality setting keeps the loss invisible for most scans and photos.
  • Multi-page TIFFs convert their first page only — the output is a single image.
  • JPEG has no transparency; any transparent areas in the TIFF are flattened onto a solid background.
  • For archival or print work where every pixel matters, keep the original TIFF and treat the JPG as a shareable copy.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I open my TIFF file normally?

TIFF is a professional scanning and print format that web browsers and many built-in image viewers never added support for. Converting to JPG produces a file those same apps open instantly.

Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?

Some, since JPEG is lossy while TIFF is usually lossless. At a high quality setting the difference is hard to see for photos and scans. Keep the TIFF if you need it for archival or print purposes.

What happens to a multi-page TIFF?

Only the first page is converted to a JPG. TIFF can hold several pages in one file, but JPG is a single-image format, so the tool exports the first page as one image.

How much smaller will the JPG be?

Usually dramatically smaller — often a tenth of the size or less. TIFFs store image data with little or no compression, whereas JPEG compresses photographs very efficiently.
