When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Sharing scanned documents
Scanners often output TIFF files that are 50-100MB. Converting to JPG makes them small enough to email, upload to forms, or share via messaging apps.
Publishing professional photos online
Photographers work with TIFF for maximum quality, but websites need JPG. Convert your final edited TIFFs to JPG for web publishing and social media.
Opening files on consumer devices
Most phones, tablets, and basic image viewers can't open TIFF files. Converting to JPG makes your images viewable on any device without special software.
Reducing archive storage costs
If you have thousands of TIFF files from years of scanning or photography, converting to JPG can reduce storage requirements from terabytes to gigabytes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dramatically smaller. An uncompressed 30MB TIFF photo typically converts to a 1-3MB JPG - a 90-95% reduction. The exact savings depend on image content and compression settings.
The converter processes the first page of multi-page TIFF files. Each page would need to be converted separately. Multi-page support may be added in a future update.
At 92% JPG quality, the visual difference from the TIFF source is imperceptible for photographs. TIFF's higher color depth (16-bit) is downsampled to JPG's 8-bit, but this is not visible for standard display and sharing.
Most modern scanners offer JPG output, but TIFF is often the default for archival quality. If you've already scanned in TIFF and need JPG, this converter is the fastest solution.
Basic image content is preserved, but detailed EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata from the TIFF may not transfer during browser-based conversion. Keep the original TIFF if metadata preservation is important.
Browser-based decoding works best with RGB TIFF files. CMYK TIFFs may need desktop software like Photoshop for accurate color space conversion.
No server-imposed limit. However, very large TIFF files (100MB+) may take longer to process and require more device memory. Most files under 50MB convert within seconds.
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Scanned documents containing sensitive personal, financial, or legal information are never uploaded to any server.
