Why Convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF is ideal for editing and print, but it’s heavy and less compatible. JPG strikes a practical balance:
- Much Smaller Files: Often 70–90% smaller than TIFF, depending on content.
- Universal Compatibility: JPG works on virtually every device and app.
- Easy Sharing: Perfect for email, messaging, and the web.
- Storage Savings: Reduce space without major visual loss.
How to Convert TIFF to JPG Online
- Click Upload TIFF and choose your file.
- Wait for processing and optimization.
- Click Download JPG to save your image.
We use progressive JPEG (mozjpeg) for great size–quality balance.
TIFF vs JPG Comparison
- Compression: TIFF can be lossless; JPG is lossy for smaller files.
- Transparency: TIFF may include alpha; JPG has none (transparent pixels become solid).
- Color: TIFF may be CMYK/AdobeRGB; JPG output is standardized to sRGB for the web.
- Use Case: Keep TIFF for editing/print masters; use JPG for delivery and sharing.
