How to convert TIF to JPG
- Add your .TIF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .JPG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .JPG file.
What to expect
- JPEG compression is lossy and irreversible - keep the original
.tifif you may need to re-export at higher quality later. - A multi-page
.tif(common with scanned documents and faxes) cannot be stored as a single.jpg; most tools export only the first page, so convert to PDF if you need all pages together. - 16-bit and CMYK TIF files are down-converted on export; the result is fine for screen use but the extra tonal or color data is permanently gone.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting TIF to JPG reduce image quality?
Yes - JPEG is lossy, so some detail is permanently removed. At quality 85 the difference is hard to see in photos; for text or line-art scans, use PNG instead.
What happens to multi-page TIF files?
JPEG holds only one image per file, so most tools export just the first page. Export each page as a separate
.jpg, or convert to PDF to keep all pages together.Can I convert a JPG back to TIF and recover quality?
You can save a
.jpg as .tif, but quality lost during JPEG encoding cannot be recovered - the new TIF will not be sharper than the JPG.What quality setting should I use?
Quality 85 is a practical default for photos - visually close to the original while cutting file size by 80-90%; values above 95 produce large files with little visible improvement.
