Convert TIF to JPG - Free, Fast, Private

A single uncompressed TIFF scan can be 80 MB; the same picture as a JPG is usually under 3 MB and looks identical on screen. Drop your .tif or .tiff files here to get email-friendly, upload-friendly JPGs in seconds. The whole conversion runs on your own device with WebAssembly, so archive scans and client photos are never sent to a server.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload your TIF files

    Drag .tif or .tiff files onto the box above, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are accepted and several can be queued together.

  2. Set the quality you want

    The quality slider defaults to 90%, which keeps scanned text crisp. Drop to 75% when you need the smallest possible file for email, or push to 100% for archival prints.

  3. Click Convert

    Your browser decodes the TIFF - including LZW, PackBits, Deflate and JPEG-in-TIFF compression - and re-encodes it with the same JPEG codec that powers Squoosh.

  4. Download your JPG files

    Download files one by one or take the whole batch as a ZIP. Results live only in this browser tab and disappear when you close it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my file get?

Expect a reduction of 90 to 98 percent. An uncompressed TIFF stores roughly three bytes per pixel with no compression at all, while JPEG at 90% quality typically needs well under a tenth of a byte per pixel on photographic content. A 60 MB scan commonly lands between 1 and 4 MB.

Will I see a quality difference?

At the default 90% setting, almost never on screen. JPEG is lossy, so it discards detail the eye is poor at noticing, but the artefacts only become visible at low quality settings or after repeated re-saving. For a one-time conversion from a TIFF master, 90% is visually indistinguishable.

Should I keep the original TIFF?

Yes, if it is your only copy. JPEG cannot be converted back into the original TIFF: the discarded detail is gone permanently. Treat the TIFF as the master for archiving and printing, and treat the JPG as a distribution copy for email, web pages, and messaging apps.

What happens to transparency in my TIFF?

JPEG has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas are composited onto a solid white background. If your TIFF is a logo or cutout that needs to stay transparent, convert it to PNG or WebP instead - both formats keep the alpha channel intact.

Does this work with scanner and fax TIFFs?

Yes. Bilevel black-and-white scans, greyscale documents, and full-colour photographic TIFFs all decode correctly, as do the LZW, PackBits, Deflate and JPEG-in-TIFF compression schemes scanners use. Multi-page TIFFs produce a single JPG of the first full-resolution page; convert to PDF instead when you need every page in one file.
