TIFF to JPG Converter

Add your TIFF files to the box above and press the button. Each picture becomes a JPG in a moment, ready to download on its own or, when there are several, together in one ZIP. A multi-page TIFF is opened page by page, and every page turns into its own JPG.

The work is done in your browser, so in almost every case your files never leave your device. You can add up to 500 pictures at once, each up to 100 MB, and choose the quality, the size, the background colour, the DPI and whether the photo details are kept.

TIFF is the format of scanners, fax servers, print shops and archives. It keeps every pixel exactly, it can hold many pages in one file, and it is often saved without much compression. That makes it a good format for keeping and printing, and an awkward one for almost everything else.

Most web browsers do not show TIFF pictures, many email programs show them only as an attachment, messaging apps often refuse them and websites rarely accept them in upload forms. A single scanned page can be 20 MB or more, which is too big for many email limits and slow to send from a phone.

JPG is the opposite. Every phone, computer, browser, website and app opens it, and it is usually a tenth of the size of an uncompressed TIFF or less. Turning a TIFF into JPG is the quick way to share a scan, put it on a website, attach it to an email or upload it to a form that only takes JPG.

Keep the TIFF as your master copy and send the JPG. If you later need a TIFF again, for a printer or an archive, JPG to TIFF writes one, and TIFF to PDF puts all the pages of a TIFF into a single PDF document.

TIFF, short for Tagged Image File Format, has been around since the 1980s and is still the working format of scanners, fax systems, print shops, publishers, museums and archives. Files end in .tif or .tiff; both are the same format.

A TIFF is more a container than a single format. Inside, the pixels can be stored without compression or with LZW, ZIP, PackBits, CCITT fax compression or even JPEG compression, in colour, grey or pure black and white, with 8 or 16 bits per colour, and with one page or hundreds. That flexibility is why TIFF is loved by professionals and why many everyday apps cannot open every TIFF they meet.

This page reads the common kinds directly in your browser, such as uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, PackBits, CCITT fax pages and JPEG-compressed TIFF files, in colour, grey and black and white. The rare remaining kinds are opened on our server, as described in the section on safety.

For colour photos and colour or grey scans, the JPG is usually five to twenty times smaller than the TIFF. That is the main reason people convert: a folder of scans that was too big to email becomes small enough to send in one go.

There is one exception worth knowing. Black and white document TIFFs, such as fax pages and many office scans, are stored with 1 bit per pixel and a very efficient compression, so they are already tiny. As a JPG the same page is often larger, because JPG always stores at least 8 bits per pixel. For such pages TIFF to PDF is usually the better choice: the PDF stays small and keeps all pages together.

Many people look for TIFF to JPG without losing quality. It is worth being clear about what is possible. JPG is a lossy format: it always simplifies some fine detail to make the file small, so a JPG is never a bit-for-bit copy of a TIFF. What you can get is a JPG that looks the same as the TIFF to the eye.

At quality 95% or 100% the difference is practically invisible, even when you zoom in. The default of 92% looks identical in normal viewing and makes noticeably smaller files. Below about 75% you may start to see soft edges around text and fine lines, and small blocks in smooth areas such as skies.

The JPG also keeps the full number of pixels unless you choose a smaller size under Size. Converting does not crop, stretch or shrink anything by itself, so a 4000 × 3000 TIFF becomes a 4000 × 3000 JPG.

A few things a JPG simply cannot hold. It has no transparency, so see-through areas are filled with the background colour you choose. It has no layers or extra channels, so a TIFF from an image editor becomes one flat picture. And it stores 8 bits per colour, so 16-bit and CMYK TIFF files are turned into standard 8-bit RGB. For photos and scans you will not notice the last point in normal viewing, but it matters if you plan to edit the colours heavily afterwards: then keep the TIFF and edit that.

This converter costs nothing. It needs no sign-up, adds no watermark and has no daily limit or trial that runs out. You do not need to install anything or create an account, and you can convert one batch after another for as long as you like.

There is nothing hidden behind a paid plan: quality, size, background, DPI, grayscale, file names, batch download and multi-page TIFF files are all available to everyone.

TIFF to JPG free here really means free, and the reason is simple: your own device does the work, not a paid server, so there is nothing to charge for and no queue to wait in. A batch of a few dozen scans usually finishes in seconds on a modern computer, a little longer on an older phone.

The only limits are practical ones. You can add up to 500 pictures at a time, each up to 100 MB. When a multi-page TIFF is opened, each page counts as one picture, so a 200-page file uses 200 of the 500 places. For more, convert in several rounds; the settings are remembered between visits.

A TIFF file can hold many pages, one after another, much like a PDF. Fax servers, document scanners with a feeder and many office archives save whole documents this way. Most simple converters only take the first page and quietly ignore the rest.

This one opens the whole file in your browser and turns every page into its own JPG. A 12-page contract scanned as one TIFF becomes 12 JPG files, ready to download together in one ZIP. Small preview pictures that some scanners store inside the TIFF are skipped, so you only get the real pages.

A multi page TIFF to JPG converter free of sign-ups is useful when someone sends you a fax or a scan you cannot open, or when a website asks for every page as a separate JPG. Single-page TIFF files work in exactly the same way and simply give one JPG.

Up to 500 pages per TIFF are read. After adding a file you see a thumbnail for every page, and you can remove pages you do not need before converting, or click any page to see it in the live preview.

Each JPG is named after its TIFF. For a file called contract.tiff with three pages you get contract-page-1.jpg, contract-page-2.jpg and contract-page-3.jpg, so the pages stay in order when you sort them by name. A single-page photo.tif simply becomes photo.jpg.

If you add a whole folder, the ZIP keeps the same folder structure, and when two files would end up with the same name, the second gets a number in brackets instead of overwriting the first. Under More options you can also add -converted to every file name, which helps when the JPG files go into the same folder as the TIFF files.

Faxes are the most common multi-page TIFF files people receive today. Online fax services and office fax servers save each incoming fax as a TIFF with one page per sheet of paper, usually in black and white at about 200 DPI. Phones and many email apps cannot show them, so the attachment looks empty or broken.

Add the fax to this page and every sheet becomes a JPG you can open, forward or print from any device. For fax pages, Grayscale under More options gives smaller files with the same look, and a quality of 85% is plenty for text. If you want to keep the fax as one document rather than separate pictures, TIFF to PDF puts all sheets into one PDF instead.

Scanned documents from an office scanner work the same way. A stack of paper fed through the scanner often ends up as one long TIFF; converting gives you one JPG per sheet, named in page order, ready to attach to an email or upload to a form.

To convert multiple TIFF to JPG online, add all the files at once: select them together in the file window, drop a whole selection on the box, or use Add a whole folder. You can keep adding more with the Add more tile before you press the button.

Every picture gets the same settings, and the button converts the whole list. A progress bar shows how many are done, and you can stop at any time. When the batch is finished, Download all saves one ZIP with every JPG in it, and each picture also has its own Save button.

You can mix files: single-page and multi-page TIFF files, and other pictures such as PNG or HEIC, all become JPG files in the same batch.

As a TIFF to JPG batch converter, the tool is built for big jobs as well as single files. Add a whole folder from your computer and all pictures in it, including those in sub-folders, are added in one step. The ZIP you download keeps the folder names, so a scanned archive comes back in the same order.

Very large batches depend on the memory of your device. A computer handles hundreds of scans without trouble. On a phone, very large pictures and long multi-page files can be slow; convert in smaller groups if the page becomes sluggish. Pictures that are too large for the device's memory are made smaller automatically, and the result shows a note when that happens.

A handy shortcut: press Ctrl+Enter, or Cmd+Enter on a Mac, to start the conversion without reaching for the button.

This TIFF to JPG converter online runs in any modern browser, on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is no app to install and nothing to update, and it uses the same settings on every device.

Online here does not mean your files go to a server. The page loads once, and then the TIFF is opened and the JPG is written by your browser on your own device. Only the rare TIFF files that the browser cannot read are sent to our server, as explained below.

For TIFF to JPG Windows 10 and Windows 11 users can simply open this page in Edge, Chrome or Firefox, add the files and download the JPG files. The downloads land in your Downloads folder, as usual. Nothing needs to be installed, and it works the same on office computers where you cannot install programs.

Windows also has its own ways for a single picture: open the TIFF in Paint and choose Save as and then JPEG picture, or open it in Photos and use Save as. Those work well for one file. They become slow for dozens of files, and they usually show only the first page of a multi-page TIFF, which is where this page saves a lot of time.

To find the files after downloading, open File Explorer and click Downloads. If you downloaded a ZIP, right-click it and choose Extract All to get the JPG files out.

For TIFF to JPG Android phones and tablets need no extra app. Open this page in Chrome or another browser, tap the box and choose the files from the Files app, Google Drive or your downloads. The JPG files are saved to the Downloads folder and appear in your gallery app.

Android usually cannot show TIFF pictures in its gallery at all, which is why a fax or scan sent as TIFF often looks like an empty file on a phone. After converting, every page opens like any other photo and can be shared in messages or email.

On a phone, very long multi-page files take a little longer. If the page becomes slow, convert the pages in smaller groups. On iPhone and iPad it works the same way in Safari: choose the files from the Files app and save the results there.

On a Mac the page works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Add the files from Finder by dragging them onto the box, or click it and choose them. The JPG files, or the ZIP, land in your Downloads folder; double-click the ZIP to unpack it.

Preview on a Mac can also export a single TIFF as JPEG, and it does show every page of a multi-page TIFF in the sidebar. Exporting each page one by one is slow, though, while this page turns all pages of all files into JPG in one go and names them in order.

On a Chromebook the steps are the same as on Windows: open the page in Chrome, add the files from the Files app and find the results in Downloads.

For email, a JPG of 1 to 2 MB per page is comfortable for almost every mail service. Set the longest side to about 2000 pixels and the quality to 85%, and a whole scanned document fits in one message. For a website, 1600 to 2000 pixels and 80 to 85% give sharp pictures that load quickly.

For messaging apps, any size works, but most apps compress pictures again when sending, so there is no need to choose a very high quality. For upload forms with strict rules, use the File size option to stay under their limit.

Before sending, it is worth opening one JPG and zooming in on small text. If letters look soft or blotchy, raise the quality a step or keep a larger size; if they look clean, the rest of the batch made with the same settings will look the same.

Scans and camera TIFF files are often far larger than a screen needs. Under Size you can set the longest side in pixels, for example 1600 for email or 2000 for a website, scale everything by a percentage, or give an exact width and height. Pictures are never enlarged when you set the longest side.

A picture at half the width and height has a quarter of the pixels, so the JPG is about a quarter of the size as well. For more ways to change dimensions, crop or fit pictures to a preset, use Resize Image; to make finished JPG files lighter still, use Compress Image.

If a website or form has a size limit, open File size and choose Keep under a size. Type the limit in KB, or pick 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB, and each picture gets the highest quality that fits. If the limit cannot be reached even at the lowest quality, the result tells you, and a smaller size under Size will help.

A TIFF can have transparent areas, for example a logo or a cut-out product picture saved from an image editor. JPG cannot store transparency, so those areas must get a colour. White is the default, which suits documents and most web pages. Choose Black or Other colour under Background when the picture will sit on a dark or coloured background.

If you need to keep the transparency, JPG is the wrong target; a PNG keeps see-through areas. For pictures that are already PNG, PNG to JPG uses the same engine as this page.

Most TIFF files are 8-bit RGB or grey, and they convert directly. Some, from scanners, cameras and print work, are 16 bits per channel or use CMYK colours for printing. JPG files on the web are 8-bit RGB, so such TIFF files are turned into 8-bit RGB when converting. For photos you will not see a difference on screen, but the extra depth is gone, so keep the TIFF if you want to edit it heavily later.

Under More options, Grayscale writes a grey JPG, which suits scanned letters and black and white photos and makes the file smaller. Black & white makes every pixel black or white, for pages of plain text; for such pages JPG is not the most efficient format, as explained in the size table above.

DPI, dots per inch, tells a printer how big a picture should come out on paper. The JPG does not automatically take over the DPI stored in the TIFF: by default the value is not set, and most programs then assume 72 or 96. That is fine for screens, email and the web, where DPI is ignored.

If the JPG will be printed, open More options and choose 300 under DPI for print. That writes 300 into every JPG, so an A4 scan of 2480 × 3508 pixels prints exactly A4 again. The pixels stay exactly the same; only the label changes. To change the DPI of JPG files you already have, use Change DPI.

Most people convert TIFF files to share them, but sometimes the JPG files are printed: a photo lab that only takes JPG, a copy shop, or a home printer that prints from a phone. For print, choose quality 95% and keep the original size, so no detail is lost that a printer could show.

Then set 300 under DPI for print in More options. Many TIFF scans are made at 300 DPI, and a JPG without a DPI value may otherwise come out at a different size when printed from some programs. With the value written in, an A4 scan prints at A4 again.

For colour-critical print work, such as art reproductions or brochures, a print shop will usually prefer the TIFF itself. JPG files are RGB, and the shop converts them to its own print colours, which is fine for photos and documents but not for exact brand colours.

TIFF files from cameras and phones can carry photo details: the date, the camera model and sometimes the GPS location where the picture was taken. By default the JPG is written without them, which is the safer choice when you share pictures with others.

Choose Keep, without location to keep the date and camera but drop the position, or Keep all when you are archiving your own photos and want everything. Scans and faxes usually have no such details, so this setting makes no difference for them.

Before you convert a large batch, a short check saves time. First, decide what the JPG files are for: screen and email, a website, or printing. That decides the quality, the size and whether you need 300 DPI.

Second, look at the thumbnails after adding the files. A multi-page TIFF shows one thumbnail for each page, so you can see straight away whether all pages were found and remove the ones you do not need.

Third, click a page and look at the live preview. It shows the size of the finished JPG, the number of pixels and the quality, and it changes as soon as you move the quality slider or pick another setting. When it looks right, convert the whole batch with one press of the button.

If the TIFF files are originals, for example scans from an archive, photos from a professional camera or files from a print job, keep them. A JPG is a convenient copy for viewing and sharing, but each round of editing and saving a JPG simplifies the picture a little more, and the colour depth and any extra pages or layers are gone.

A good habit is a folder of TIFF masters and, next to it, a folder of JPG copies made from them. Add the whole master folder here, tick the box that adds -converted to the file names if you like, and the ZIP gives you a matching set of JPG files in the same folder structure.

Almost all TIFF files are converted entirely on your device, so they are not uploaded anywhere. That includes multi-page files, which are split into pages in your browser.

A few TIFF files use unusual compressions that the browser cannot read. Those are opened on our server instead, turned into a picture, sent straight back and deleted at once; nothing is kept, shared or looked at. The note under the button tells you when this happens.

Photo details such as the date, the camera and the location are removed by default, so they do not travel with the JPG. You can keep them, with or without the location, under More options.

When you add a TIFF, the page reads it in your browser with a small TIFF library, takes out every page and turns each one into a picture the browser can work with. Each page is then drawn on a canvas, given the background colour, resized and converted to grey if you chose that, and saved as a JPG at the quality you set.

Several pictures are converted side by side, so large batches finish quickly. The DPI and photo details are written into the JPG file at the end, and the ZIP for several files is built in your browser too.

Your settings are remembered in this browser, so the next time you open the page the quality, size, background and other choices are as you left them. Reset these options under More options brings the extra settings back to their defaults.

On a Mac, open the TIFF in Preview, choose File and then Export, and pick JPEG as the format; a slider sets the quality. On Windows, Paint and Photos can save a single picture as JPEG. Image editors such as GIMP or Photoshop export JPG too, with many more options.

Those ways work for single pictures. They are slow for dozens of files, they rarely convert every page of a multi-page TIFF, and setting the same quality, size and DPI for each file by hand is tedious. This page does a whole batch at once with the same settings for every picture.

Keep the TIFF files as your originals. A JPG is a sharing copy; converting the JPG back to TIFF later does not bring back what JPG compression simplified.

Use quality 95% for pictures that will be printed, 85 to 92% for email and documents, and 75 to 85% for websites.

Switch on Grayscale for scanned letters and forms without colour. The file gets much smaller and the text looks the same.

Set 300 DPI under More options when the JPG files go to a printer, so they come out at the size of the original scan.

Remove pages you do not need before converting. Click the small cross on a thumbnail to drop it from the batch.

Need the pages in one document instead of many pictures? TIFF to PDF puts every page of one or more TIFF files into a single PDF. Going the other way, JPG to TIFF and PNG to TIFF write TIFF files for print shops and archives, and PDF to TIFF turns PDF pages into TIFF.

For pictures from an iPhone, HEIC to JPG turns them into JPG files the same way. Change DPI sets the print resolution of finished JPG files, and all our picture tools are listed under Image Tools.
