TIFF to JPG Converter
Scanners and photo software love TIFF, and almost everything else groans at it. A single scan can outweigh a hundred JPGs, half your apps refuse to preview it, and email wants nothing to do with it. Drop the TIFF here and get a JPG you can actually send, upload, and share.
What it converts
- In: TIFF, plus HEIC and HEIF, AVIF, BMP, PNG, JPG, and WebP
- Out: JPG here, or PNG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, and GIF from the same studio
- JPG quality is adjustable, with 90 as the default balance of size and sharpness
- Files up to 20 MB per image, which covers most everyday scans
- One image at a time today, so a stack of scans means a few passes
Why TIFF files get so big
TIFF comes from the print and archiving world, where the whole point is to keep every last bit of image data. Little or no compression, high bit depths, generous color information: wonderful qualities in a master file, and exactly why one scan can be heavier than an entire album of JPGs. The format is doing its job. It was just never meant to be emailed.
JPG is for the copy that travels
Converting to JPG is not about replacing your TIFF, it is about making a version the rest of the world can handle. At quality 90 the JPG keeps documents legible and photos sharp while dropping the weight dramatically. Keep the TIFF in your archive if it matters, and let the JPG do the errands: uploads, emails, shared albums, listing photos.
About the 20 MB limit
Uploads here are capped at 20 MB per image. Typical document scans and photo scans fit comfortably. Very high DPI archival scans sometimes will not, and in that case the fix is upstream: rescan at a more modest DPI, or ask your scanning software to export a compressed copy first. For a scan whose destination is an email or a web form, 300 DPI is nearly always plenty.

TIFF to JPG, answered
Why is my TIFF so enormous?
TIFF was built for print and archival work, so it stores images with little or no compression, often at high bit depths. That is great for a master file and terrible for an email attachment. A JPG of the same picture is routinely a tiny fraction of the size.
Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?
Technically yes, because JPG re-encodes the image. Practically, at the default quality of 90 the result looks the same for sharing, uploads, and everyday printing. The good habit is to keep the TIFF as your master and treat the JPG as the copy that travels.
My TIFF is over 20 MB. What can I do?
Uploads are capped at 20 MB per image. Most everyday scans fit, but very high DPI scans can blow past it. If yours does, rescan at a lower DPI, or have your scanning or photo software export a smaller or compressed version first, then convert that.
Are my scanned documents private?
The conversion runs on our server, files delete within 24 hours, and they are never sold. If you opt in to product improvement, that session is kept for up to 30 days to help improve the tool. Skip the opt-in for anything sensitive.
Is the TIFF to JPG converter free?
Free to start. Each conversion costs 1 buttery pat, every visitor gets 5 free pats a day, and refills can be churned whenever you run out. No sign in required.
