TIFF to JPG for scans that are too big to share

Scanners and professional cameras love TIFF, but email and websites don't. A single page or photo can be tens of megabytes, and many browsers can't display it at all. This TIFF to JPG converter turns those files into compact JPGs that open everywhere.

Nothing needs to be installed, and your scans stay on your device. Because the JPG is so much lighter, it's ideal for sending, uploading and viewing on a phone.

How to convert TIFF to JPG

Large TIFFs need more memory, so a laptop will handle them more comfortably than an old phone.

  1. 1

    Open your TIFF files

    Drop .tif or .tiff scans and photos on the upload box. It takes up to 20 per batch, each up to 250 MB.

  2. 2

    Choose JPG quality

    Use 90 to keep scans crisp, or 75 to 80 for images you'll share online or send by email.

  3. 3

    Press Convert to JPG

    Your browser decodes each TIFF and encodes a much smaller JPG. Big files can take a few seconds.

  4. 4

    Save the JPGs

    Download them one at a time or use the ZIP. Keep the TIFFs as your master copies.

What's changed in a JPG

  • Layers and multiple pages are gone. You get the first page, flattened.
  • Bit depth drops to 8 bits per channel, which is plenty for viewing, but it's less flexible for heavy editing.
  • Compression is lossy, so keep your TIFF if you might need to edit or reprint later.
  • Metadata isn't included. Scanner and camera details don't carry over to the new file.

Multi-page documents

If your TIFF holds several pages, only the first one converts here. To put scanned pages into a single document, export them as separate images from your scanner software, then use Image to PDF, which accepts TIFF files directly and makes one page per image.

Free and private

Your scans are decoded in the browser and never uploaded, and that makes this a sensible choice for ID documents and medical records. There's no account or watermark. For lossless output, use TIFF to PNG; to go back the other way, use JPG to TIFF.

Frequently asked questions

Drop the TIFF on this page, choose a quality and press Convert to JPG. The JPG is created in your browser and is ready to download.
Often 90% smaller or more. A 40 MB uncompressed scan commonly becomes 2 to 4 MB at quality 85, with no difference you'd see on screen.
Only the first page is converted. If you have a multi-page fax or scan, split it first with a desktop tool, or export the pages individually from your scanning software.
Generally, yes. They're converted to 8-bit RGB during decoding, because that's what JPG stores. Colors in CMYK files may shift slightly, since they're converted without your print profile.
Common ones, including uncompressed, LZW, Deflate and PackBits. Very unusual variants might not decode. If you see an error, re-save the TIFF from an editor and try again.
Any transparent areas are filled with white, because JPG has no alpha channel. To keep transparency, use TIFF to PNG.
No. They're processed on your own device, which is important for medical, legal or personal documents.
