Format comparison

Source

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality format widely used in print and publishing industries.

Pros

  • Lossless quality
  • Print industry standard
  • Layer support

Cons

  • Very large file sizes
  • Not suitable for web
Target

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used image format, ideal for photographs and images with gradients.

Pros

  • Universal compatibility
  • Adjustable compression
  • Great for photos

Cons

  • Lossy compression degrades quality
  • No transparency support

When to Convert TIFF to JPEG

Convert TIFF to JPEG to make files easier to share and upload. Great for email attachments and web uploads.

Technical Format Details

TIFF Technical Specifications

Technical details


TIFF is commonly used for scanning, print, and archiving. It supports many variations (compression, bit depth, multi-page), which is why compatibility can vary a lot across software.

Good for

- Scans/print assets: High-quality source files
- Production workflows: Print-oriented intermediates

Notes

- File size: TIFFs can be very large
- Compatibility: Not every TIFF is handled the same (multi-page/compression). If conversion fails, try exporting to PNG/JPEG from a dedicated editor first

Reference: Adobe: TIFF 6.0
JPEG Technical Specifications

Technical details


JPEG is a lossy format optimized for photos. Lower quality settings reduce file size, but can introduce artifacts around edges and text.

Good for

- Photos: Natural images with gradients
- Sharing: Maximum compatibility

Notes

- Re-encoding: Repeated saves accumulate artifacts (use PNG for editing intermediates)
- Transparency: Not supported

How to Use

1

Add files

Drop or click to select your TIFF files (multiple supported)

2

Confirm output

Default is JPEG. You can change to another supported output format if needed.

3

Adjust options

Set quality, resize, and metadata options only if you need them.

4

Convert & download

Download each file, or download everything as a ZIP for batch outputs.

FAQ

How much smaller will files be converting TIFF to JPEG?

Photo images can shrink by 90%+ in size, especially when converting from uncompressed TIFF.

Is this suitable for scanned documents?

Works well for photo-heavy documents. For text-heavy documents, PNG preserves text clarity better.

Is print quality maintained?

JPEG is RGB-only and lossy, so keep TIFF for commercial printing. For office printers, JPEG quality 95 works fine.

Can I keep Exif metadata?

When "Keep Exif/Metadata" is ON, we try to carry over things like capture time, camera info, and GPS where possible. Some tags may be dropped depending on the input, output format, and browser environment. Turn it OFF if you want to remove location data before sharing.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes. You can select multiple files, convert them in one run, and download each file individually. For multiple outputs, you can also download everything as a ZIP. For very large batches, splitting into smaller runs is more stable.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and your images are not sent to an external server.

What if conversion fails or is slow?

Some formats (like HEIC/HEIF) depend on browser support. If it fails, try another browser, reduce the number of files, or resize before converting.

Why do colors sometimes shift after conversion?

Differences in decoding/encoding and color handling can cause small shifts. For critical images, compare the output against the original.
