What is a TIFF file?
TIFF is an uncompressed or lightly-compressed raster format still favored by scanners, print shops, and archival workflows for its quality. Almost no browser except Safari can display a .tiff file directly, and most photo-sharing tools reject it outright.
Why convert TIFF to JPG?
The main reason is maximum compatibility and small file sizes. JPG is the most universally compatible image format there is — every device, app, printer, and website accepts it. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small at the cost of some fine detail.
How to convert TIFF to JPG
Drag your TIFF file(s) into the box below, or click it to browse. JPG is already selected as the output format, so all you need to do is press Convert and then Download once it finishes — usually within a second or two per file.
TIFF vs JPG
TIFF is an uncompressed or lightly-compressed raster format still favored by scanners, print shops, and archival workflows for its quality. JPG is the most universally compatible image format there is — every device, app, printer, and website accepts it. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small at the cost of some fine detail.
Is the conversion done in my browser?
Yes. Reading the TIFF and encoding the JPG output both happen locally on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.
Prefer a different output? The same engine on this page can also export to PNG, WEBP, AVIF, ICO, PDF, TIFF — just pick a different format from the dropdown next to your file once it's added, or use the full TIFF converter.
TIFF, in plain terms
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was created in 1986 by Aldus Corporation — the company behind PageMaker — working with Microsoft and a group of scanner manufacturers who needed a common file format for the images their hardware produced. Revision 5.0 in 1988 added palette colour and LZW compression; Revision 6.0, published in 1992, is still the baseline spec today. Adobe took over maintaining the format after acquiring Aldus in 1994. Decades later, TIFF is still the default choice in scanning, faxing, pre-press, and archival workflows, precisely because it's lossless and can hold very high image quality — at the cost of much larger files than web formats.
Why TIFF needs a converter like this
Outside of Safari, no major browser ever added native TIFF decoding to the <img> tag — TIFF was built for scanners and pre-press software, not the web, so it was never a priority for browser vendors. This tool works around that by decoding TIFF itself with a dedicated JavaScript library (UTIF.js), so it behaves the same no matter which browser opened this page.
| Capability | Support |
|---|---|
| Viewing a raw .tif file directly (no converter) | Safari · Chrome, Firefox, Edge |
| Decoding your TIFF file (this tool) | Works in any modern browser — via a JavaScript TIFF decoder, independent of native image support |
| Encoding to AVIF (this tool) | Depends on browser — detected automatically, with a clear error if unavailable |
Good to know before you convert
Scanned faxes and multi-page documents are common in TIFF. Every output format here represents a single image, so only the first page is used.
Uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, and CCITT Group 3/4 (fax) compressed TIFFs decode fine, which covers the vast majority of scanner and print output. The rarer ZIP/Deflate compression mode isn't currently supported and will show a clear decode error.
All six output formats here are 8-bit. Professional TIFFs with 16-bit channels or CMYK colour are converted down during decoding.
Unlike some of our other converters, this direction typically shrinks the file — TIFFs are often uncompressed or lightly compressed to begin with.
Your files never leave your device
Decoding the TIFF and re-encoding it into JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, ICO, or PDF all happen locally in your browser. There's no upload step, no server processing, and nothing is retained after you close the tab.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert TIFF to JPG?
Drop your TIFF image file(s) onto the page (or click to browse), make sure JPG is selected as the target format, then press Convert. The download starts as soon as it's ready.
Is converting TIFF to JPG free?
Yes, completely free, with no watermark, no sign-up, and no limit on how many files you convert.
Do I need any special software to convert TIFF files?
No. This tool decodes TIFF using UTIF.js, an open-source library that runs entirely in your browser — the same one used by the online editor Photopea. No desktop software required.
Are my TIFF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The entire conversion — reading the TIFF and re-encoding it as JPG — happens locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I convert multiple TIFF files to JPG at once?
Yes. Drop in as many files as you like; each one converts independently, and you can download them all at once as a ZIP.
Can I use this TIFF to JPG converter on mobile?
Yes. It's a normal web page with no app to install — it works in any modern mobile browser, though very large files may convert more slowly on a phone.
