Use the Image Compressor with the TIFF and configure JPG-equivalent quality.
Open Image Compressor →How to convert TIFF to JPG
- 1
Add your TIFF file
Drop or select a .tiff file. Files up to 50MB process locally in your browser — nothing uploaded.
- 2
Run the conversion
TIFF files decode via the browser's image pipeline (when supported), render onto a Canvas, and re-encode as JPG at your chosen quality. Multi-page TIFFs use only the first page today; the rest are discarded.
- 3
Download your JPG
One click saves the result as a .jpg file. Your original file stays on your device.
Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF files are often uncompressed or only mildly compressed and can run 10-50× larger than the same image as JPG. For sharing scans via email, uploading archival photos to a website, or sending print files that don't need to stay at TIFF fidelity, JPG is the practical choice. TIFF stays popular in print, archival, and scientific imaging because of its lossless options and multi-page support — but those aren't needed for everyday sharing.
Common TIFF to JPG use cases
- Converting a 100 MB 600-dpi document scan into a 1-2 MB JPG for email attachment
- Shrinking archival photos from a photographer or museum TIFF export to web-ready JPG for an online portfolio
- Reducing TIFF output from Epson or Canon scanner software to a shareable size without installing photo software
- Creating email-friendly JPGs from industrial or medical imaging TIFFs where the full fidelity isn't needed for review
What file size to expect
A 300-dpi scanned document TIFF at 8.5×11 inches (2550×3300 pixels, uncompressed) is roughly 25 MB. The JPG at quality 92 is typically 800 KB-1.5 MB — about 15-30× smaller. A full-resolution photo TIFF from a DSLR (24 MP, uncompressed) at ~70 MB becomes a 3-5 MB JPG at quality 92.
Technical notes: TIFF → JPG
TIFF supports many encoding variants: uncompressed, LZW (lossless), Deflate (lossless), JPEG-in-TIFF (lossy), and PackBits. Browser native TIFF decoding covers uncompressed and LZW reliably; less common variants (CCITT Group 4 fax compression, JBIG, or 16-bit-per-channel floating point) may fail. Multi-page TIFFs store multiple images in one container — only page 1 is extracted. TIFF's high bit depth (16-bit) and wide color gamut (Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB) are tone-mapped to 8-bit sRGB during Canvas rendering; ICC profiles are dropped.
Compatibility and browser support
Browser TIFF support varies: Safari handles it broadly, Chrome and Edge decode common variants, Firefox support is more limited. If your TIFF doesn't load, try opening it first in Preview (macOS), IrfanView (Windows), or GIMP to export a simpler variant. JPG output is universally supported everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Browser TIFF support?
Safari decodes most TIFFs reliably; Chrome and Edge handle common variants (uncompressed, LZW); Firefox support is more limited. Unusual variants may need a desktop tool to simplify first.
Quality setting?
Adjustable. Default 92% works well for photos and scans; use 95+ for text-heavy documents where edges matter.
What about multi-page TIFF?
Only the first page is used today. Multi-page support is on the roadmap. For PDFs from multi-page TIFFs, try a dedicated TIFF-to-PDF tool.
Will 16-bit color precision survive?
No — Canvas converts to 8-bit sRGB. For color-critical print workflows, keep the TIFF or use a desktop color-managed tool (Photoshop, Capture One).
Are layers preserved?
No — multi-layer TIFFs flatten to a single composite image during browser decoding.
File size limit?
50MB per file. Large archival TIFFs may exceed this; downsample or crop in a desktop tool first.
