TIFF to JPG Converter
You have a TIFF from a scanner, a camera export or a print workflow, and it is too big to email or too unusual for the program in front of you. This converter turns it into a JPG on your own device. It reads the first page of the file, so check below if your TIFF holds several pages.

How to convert TIFF to JPG
- Add your TIFF files by dropping them, clicking the drop zone or pasting.
- The output format is already set to JPG. Adjust quality or size if you need to.
- Press Convert and compare the original and new size for each file.
- Download each file or all of them as a ZIP.
When to convert, and when not to
- You need to send or upload a scan or an export and the recipient or the form wants JPG.
- A web page, document or chat app will not display .tif or .tiff files.
- You only need a viewing copy and plan to keep the original TIFF as the master.
- Do not replace your only copy: JPG is lossy, so an archive or a file you will edit again should stay a TIFF.
What changes
- Only the first page of the TIFF is converted. Later pages in a multi-page file are not included.
- Eight-bit and sixteen-bit files are read and saved as an ordinary eight-bit JPG.
- Transparent areas, if the TIFF has any, are filled with the background colour you choose, because JPG cannot store transparency.
- JPG is lossy. Raise the quality slider for a closer match to the TIFF at the cost of a bigger file.
- Embedded metadata and colour profiles are not written to the JPG.
What happens to a TIFF when it becomes a JPG
A TIFF is a flexible container often used for scans, print files and archives. It can hold uncompressed pixels, several pages, or extra information that a JPG has no place for. When this tool opens your file it reads the pixels of the first page and draws them on a canvas in your browser. The canvas is then saved as a JPG with the quality you set.
Because JPG discards fine detail to save space, the result is a lighter file meant for viewing, sending and publishing, not for careful editing later. Sixteen-bit files are brought down to the eight-bit range a JPG uses, so very subtle gradients may lose some of their smoothness.
Multi-page TIFF files and scans
Document scanners often write one TIFF with a page per sheet. This converter takes the first page only. If you need every page, split the file in your scanning program first, or export each page as its own TIFF and add them all here. The queue converts several files in one go and offers a ZIP at the end.
If the first page is not what you expected, check the page order in a viewer that shows all pages of a TIFF.
Choosing the quality setting
The quality slider only affects the JPG. A higher setting keeps more of the detail from the TIFF and gives a bigger file; a lower one gives a smaller file with more visible compression. Scanned text and line drawings show compression marks around letters sooner than photographs do, so test one page of text at a higher setting before you convert a stack. Compare the size shown next to each result with the TIFF to see what you gained on your own material.
Keep the TIFF as your master
If the TIFF is the only copy of a scan or a finished print file, store it safely and treat the JPG as a copy. Converting a JPG back to TIFF would only wrap the compressed pixels in a bigger container; it would not bring the lost detail back.
Privacy: your files stay on your device
- The tool decodes, resizes and encodes your pictures with your browser. The files are never sent to a server.
- To check it yourself: open the browser developer tools (F12), open the Network tab, convert a file, and look for any request that carries your image. You will see none.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I get only one picture from my multi-page TIFF?
This tool reads the first page only. Split the pages in a scanning or PDF program first, then convert the separate files.
Will the JPG look identical to the TIFF?
Very close at a high quality setting, but not identical, because JPG is lossy.
Can it open every kind of TIFF?
It reads common 8-bit and 16-bit TIFF files with the usual compressions. If a file uses something unusual you get a clear message instead of a broken image, and re-saving it from an image editor as a standard TIFF often fixes it.
What happens to transparency in a TIFF?
JPG cannot store it, so see-through areas are filled with the background colour you pick in the options. White is the default.
Can I convert a whole folder of TIFFs?
Add many files at once. They convert one after another and you can download them all in a ZIP. Very large scans use a lot of browser memory, so on a phone do a few at a time.
