HOW TO CONVERT TIFF → JPG
Upload the TIFF
Drop in your .tif or .tiff. We handle single-page, multi-page, CMYK, and 16-bit variants.
Convert to RGB JPEG
ImageMagick flattens layers, converts CMYK to sRGB, reduces to 8-bit, and encodes the JPEG.
Download the JPG
Multi-page TIFFs produce one JPG per page, packaged in a ZIP so nothing is lost.
Converting TIFF to JPG compresses a large uncompressed or LZW-compressed master image into a web-ready JPEG that is 10–50× smaller. Our converter reads multi-page, multi-channel TIFFs — including 16-bit-per-channel scans and CMYK originals — flattens them to 8-bit RGB, and writes a JPEG you can email, upload, or embed without triggering size limits.
Why convert TIFF to JPG
TIFF is ideal for archival masters and print production, but every consumer-facing workflow — web, email, mobile, social — expects JPEG. Flattening TIFF to JPG buys you 90%+ file size reduction, broad device support, and the ability to share scans, photographs, and historical archives through channels that would otherwise reject the format.

TIFF vs JPG — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
TIFF Strengths
- Lossless by default — no generation loss on successive edits and saves.
- Supports any bit depth (1 to 32 bits per channel), any color model, any number of channels.
- Extensible tag system means vendor-specific data survives alongside standard tags.
- Multi-page containers are perfect for scanned documents, faxes, and DICOM-like stacks.
- Industry-standard for archival, museums, scientific imaging, and high-end print prepress.
Limitations
- File sizes are huge compared to JPEG/WebP/AVIF — often 10-30× larger.
- Not a web format — no browser displays TIFF natively.
- Ambiguous spec areas mean some TIFFs only open correctly in the tool that created them.
JPG Strengths
- Excellent compression ratio for photographs (10:1 or better without visible quality loss).
- Universal support — every camera, phone, OS, and browser reads JPEG natively.
- Adjustable quality setting balances file size against visual fidelity.
- Embeds EXIF metadata (camera model, GPS, exposure) automatically.
- Progressive rendering for graceful loading over slow networks.
Limitations
- Lossy — every save degrades the image further (generation loss).
- No transparency channel (use PNG or WebP for that).
- Visible compression artifacts on text, sharp edges, and flat colors.
Quality & Compatibility
JPEG is lossy: at quality 85 (our default) the compression is visually transparent for photographs. Line art and text-heavy scans benefit more from PNG. CMYK colour spaces are converted to sRGB for web viewing.
Tips for Best Results
- Use quality 90+ if the JPG will be re-edited; 85 is fine for final publication.
- Multi-page TIFFs produce one JPG per page — expect a ZIP download rather than a single file.
- For archival masters, keep the TIFF alongside the JPG — JPEG re-saves accumulate quality loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the codecs involved. If both TIFF and JPG are lossy, the pixels are re-encoded and a small amount of detail is discarded — invisible at default quality settings on photographs. If JPG is lossless (PNG, TIFF, BMP) the output keeps every pixel of the decoded TIFF exactly, but cannot recover detail that TIFF had already compressed away.
JPEG is lossy, but at quality 85 the visual difference from the TIFF source is imperceptible for photographs. Line art and text scans lose slightly more and may be better served by PNG.
Often yes, especially when JPG is lossless. TIFF tuned for efficient web delivery will usually produce smaller files than JPG's default settings. If file size matters, drop the quality in Advanced or pick a more compressed target format instead.
Each page becomes a separate JPG, and the set is packed into a single ZIP so page order is preserved. Alternatively, use our TIFF to PDF converter to keep them in one file.
KaijuConverter uploads over HTTPS, processes the image in an isolated container and deletes both the source and the output within two hours. No account is required, file contents are never logged, and we do not use uploads to train any model. For confidential material, the paid plan includes a data-processing agreement.
Yes. We convert CMYK to sRGB automatically so the JPG displays correctly on web and mobile. The colour shift is minor for natural images.
Yes. We use floating-point colour conversion before reducing to 8-bit JPEG, which avoids the posterisation that a naive bit-depth reduction would produce.
TIFF Image
Source formatTIFF is a flexible, high-quality image format widely used in publishing, printing, and professional photography. It supports multiple compression methods and color spaces including CMYK.
JPEG Image
Target formatJPEG is the most widely used lossy image format on the web. It achieves small file sizes through adjustable compression, making it ideal for photographs and complex images where some quality loss is acceptable.

Common Use Cases
Web publishing
CMS platforms like WordPress and Ghost struggle with TIFF; JPEG is the universal web image format.
Document scan sharing
Scanners output TIFF; convert for email attachments, cloud storage, and mobile viewing.
Social media and messaging
TIFF is rejected by virtually every social platform — JPG uploads without preprocessing.
Embedded in PDF reports
JPEG embeds at a fraction of the size, keeping reports lean for email.
