Convert TIFF to JPG
Turn large TIFF scans into JPG photos that email clients and web uploaders accept.
Why TIFF is awkward to share
Scanners and some cameras still emit TIFF for archival quality. Those files are large and many web tools refuse the format.
JPG is the everyday photo format for email, chat, and CMS media libraries. Converting TIFF to JPG is how a scan leaves the studio.
Keep the TIFF master when color management and archival matter. Treat JPG as the circulation copy.
Multi-page TIFFs may only export one page depending on the pipeline—check page count after conversion.
How to convert here
Upload the .tif or .tiff file. Start conversion and keep the tab open until the JPG is ready.
Download and open the JPG. Confirm crop, orientation, and readability of text if it is a document scan.
If text looks soft, rescan at a higher resolution or keep PDF for documents instead of JPG photos.
Name files with subject and date. Scanner defaults are useless in archives.
- Upload the TIFF.
- Convert to JPG.
- Check readability before sending.
Quality versus size
JPG shrinks file size by discarding some detail. For photos that is usually fine. For tiny legal text, prefer PDF.
Choose higher JPG quality when charts and fine print must survive email.
Very large print TIFFs can exceed free upload ceilings. Downsample in a desktop tool first when needed.
Conversion cannot invent megapixels the scan never captured.
Color, CMYK, and scanners
Some print TIFFs use CMYK. JPG for the web is usually RGB. Colors can shift—spot-check brand colors.
16-bit TIFFs flatten to 8-bit JPG. Smooth gradients may show banding.
Scanner dust and skew remain after conversion. Clean and deskew before converting when quality matters.
EXIF and scanner tags may or may not survive—scrub afterward if privacy matters.
Email and CMS handoffs
Email caps punish multi-megabyte TIFFs. JPG is the practical attachment.
CMS uploaders often list JPG and PNG only. Convert before you fight the uploader.
For multi-page contracts, Image to PDF or a scan-to-PDF path is usually better than a stack of JPGs.
Do not mail both TIFF and JPG unless the recipient asked for the master.
After download
Store JPG beside TIFF with clear names.
Prepared server files expire.
Resize for web after conversion when the JPG is still huge.
Free limits apply per file.
When not to use TIFF to JPG
Archival masters that must stay lossless should remain TIFF.
Line-art logos that need transparency should become PNG, not JPG.
Multi-page legal packets should become PDF.
Corrupt TIFFs that will not open in a viewer will not convert cleanly.

Questions about TIFF to JPG
Should I keep the TIFF?
Yes for archival masters. JPG is the shareable copy.
Will text stay sharp?
Photo JPG can soften fine text. Use PDF for document scans when readability is critical.
Do multi-page TIFFs convert fully?
Check the output. Some pipelines emit one page—split pages first if you need all.
Is there a size limit?
Free uploads have ceilings. Huge print TIFFs may need downsampling first.
Do I need an account?
No. You can upload a TIFF, convert to JPG, and download without an account, within published free daily counts and size limits.
What about CMYK color shifts?
Expect possible shifts to RGB JPG. Spot-check brand colors.
