TIFF to JPG Converter
Convert TIFF scans and print files into JPGs you can actually email, upload, and preview. TIFF is a professional archive format — excellent for masters, awkward for everything else.
Private by design: This tool runs entirely in your browser. The TIFF decoder ships with the page as ordinary JavaScript and never contacts a server, so your scans are not uploaded, stored, or logged. See how in-browser processing works.
How to convert TIFF to JPG
Drop your TIFF or TIF files onto the upload area, or click it to browse.
Adjust the quality slider if you need a smaller file — 90% keeps scanned text crisp.
Click Convert, then download each JPG or the batch as a ZIP.
Why TIFF files are awkward to share
Most browsers can't display TIFF at all — only Safari can — so a TIFF attachment often shows up as a file that simply won't preview. They're also large: a 600 DPI colour scan of one A4 page can run to tens of megabytes, which collides with email limits immediately.
Scanners, fax systems, medical imaging, and print workflows still produce TIFF because it's lossless and stores multiple pages. Those are real strengths for an archive, and real obstacles for sending someone a document.
How this conversion works
Because browsers can't read TIFF natively, this tool ships its own TIFF decoder as ordinary JavaScript and runs it on your device. It handles the common varieties — uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate, CCITT fax, and CMYK — which covers the overwhelming majority of scanner and print output. Rarer variants, particularly RAW-derived and lossless-JPEG TIFFs, may not decode; you'll get a clear message rather than a silent failure.
Multi-page TIFFs
A TIFF can hold many pages in one file. This tool converts the first image in the file. If you need every page as a separate JPG, converting the TIFF to a PDF in your scanner software first and then using PDF to JPG is the more reliable route.
Size limits
Conversion happens in your browser's memory, so there are practical ceilings: files up to 150 MB and images up to 50 megapixels. That comfortably covers a 600 DPI A4 scan. Above those limits the tool stops and tells you, rather than freezing the tab.
Good to know
Only the first image in a multi-page TIFF is converted.
Supported compressions include uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate, CCITT fax, and CMYK; some rare variants aren't supported.
Limits: 150 MB per file and 50 megapixels per image.
TIFF is lossless and JPG is not — keep the TIFF as your master copy.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my TIFF open in my browser or on my phone?
Apart from Safari, browsers don't support TIFF, and many phones and web apps don't either. It's an archive and print format rather than a sharing format.
Does this convert every page of a multi-page TIFF?
No — it converts the first image in the file. For every page, convert the TIFF to a PDF in your scanning software and then use PDF to JPG.
How big a TIFF can I convert?
Up to 150 MB and 50 megapixels. Those limits exist because everything runs in your browser's memory; larger files would risk crashing the tab.
Will I lose quality?
TIFF is lossless and JPG is not, so some data is discarded. At 90% quality scanned text and photographs still look clean. Keep the TIFF if you need an exact archive copy.
My TIFF failed to convert — why?
Some uncommon variants, especially RAW-derived and lossless-JPEG TIFFs, aren't supported by the decoder. Re-saving the file as a standard TIFF from your scanner or image editor usually solves it.
Is my scan uploaded anywhere?
No. The TIFF decoder is JavaScript that runs on your device, so the file is never sent to a server — which matters when the scan is a contract or a medical document.
