What's the difference between TIFF and JPG?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) and JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group image) solve different problems: TIFF is a lossless compression format built for print production, scanning, archival, while JPG is a lossy compression format whose strength is photos, web images, email attachments. In practice you will meet TIFF when dealing with print production, scanning, archival, and reach for JPG when you need photos, web images, email attachments — the table below compares them point by point.
| TIFF | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Tagged Image File Format | Joint Photographic Experts Group image |
| Developed by | Aldus / Adobe | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
| Released | 1986 | 1992 |
| Compression | Lossless compression | Lossy compression |
| Typical use | print production, scanning, archival | photos, web images, email attachments |
| File extension | .tiff | .jpg |
| MIME type | image/tiff | image/jpeg |
Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible lossless image format created by Aldus in 1986 and now maintained by Adobe. It stores images at full quality with support for layers, multiple pages, and high bit depths, making it the standard in print, publishing, scanning, and archiving. Here is when JPG is the better choice:
- →JPG opens everywhere — every browser, OS, photo app, and office tool supports it without plugins.
- →Files are small: a JPG photo is typically 5–10× smaller than the same image as PNG.
- →It runs in the cloud — 10 free conversions a day with files up to 200 MB (20/day and 500 MB with a free account) — so even a phone or an old laptop converts at full speed.
Before you convert: three quick tips
- ●If your image has a transparent background, pick a target that supports it (PNG, WebP, AVIF); converting to JPG fills transparency with white.
- ●For web use, the modern formats (WebP, AVIF) save the most bandwidth; for maximum compatibility, JPG and PNG remain the safe choices.
- ●Keep your original TIFF — conversion never modifies it, and if you later need a different target format, starting from the original always gives the best quality.
JPG conversion settings explained
The quality setting (1–100) controls how aggressively JPG compresses. Filevo defaults to 85 — the golden value for web and everyday sharing: compression artifacts are essentially invisible while files stay around half the size of quality 100.
How to choose: 75–80 for web images where every kilobyte counts; 85 (default) for almost everything; 95+ for print or images you plan to edit further. Note that quality 100 is still not lossless — choose PNG or TIFF as the target if you need true lossless output.
How the conversion works
Filevo converts TIFF to JPG with libvips, the high-performance open-source image engine that powers the Sharp library used across the industry. libvips processes images as a stream with a tiny memory footprint, so a typical photo converts in under a second. The work happens on our servers, not your device — a phone or an aging laptop converts just as fast as a workstation.
Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF is a professional format built for scanners, print shops and photo archives — it stores images losslessly, which makes the files enormous and awkward to share. Worse, most phones, web browsers, email previews and social platforms won’t open a TIFF at all. JPG is the opposite: small, universally supported, and perfect for sending or posting. Converting TIFF to JPG takes a heavy, specialist file and turns it into one anyone can open in a tap.
Smaller file, lossy by design
JPG uses lossy compression, which is exactly why it’s so much smaller than TIFF — often by 10× or more. Filevo encodes at a high-quality setting so the JPG looks essentially identical for viewing and sharing, but it is a one-way trade: the lossless detail TIFF preserved for editing and print is not retained. Keep the original TIFF if you’ll edit or print later; use the JPG for everything you send and post.
One more detail: some TIFFs include transparency, but JPG can’t store it. Any transparent areas are filled with white — clean and predictable. If you need to keep transparency, convert TIFF to PNG instead.
Scans, faxes and print files
Most TIFFs come from a scanner, a fax system, a microfilm archive or a print workflow — places where lossless mattered. But once you need to email a scanned document, attach a receipt, or post a photo, the TIFF’s size and poor support become the problem. A JPG solves it instantly: it’s small enough to email, opens on any phone, and uploads to any form. For everyday handling of scanned material, JPG is the practical choice.
Convert TIFF to JPG on any device
On Windows or Mac: drag the TIFF straight from Explorer or Finder into the converter above. On iPhone or Android: open this page in your browser, tap Browse Files and pick the TIFF — handy, since phones usually can’t open TIFF on their own. Everything runs in the cloud, so even a large scan converts the same way everywhere.

What is JPG?
JPG (or JPEG) is a lossy raster image format released in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It compresses photographs into small files by discarding visual detail the eye rarely notices, and is the most widely supported image format on the web, in cameras, and across operating systems.

TIFF to JPG converter FAQ
How do I convert TIFF to JPG for free?
Drop your TIFF file into the converter at the top of this page, confirm JPG as the target, click Convert, and download the result. It is genuinely free: 10 free conversions a day with files up to 200 MB (20/day and 500 MB with a free account), no watermarks, no software to install, no account required.
Is it safe to convert TIFF files online?
Yes. Transfers are TLS-encrypted end to end, and conversion is fully automated — no human ever sees your files. Your uploaded TIFF is deleted the moment conversion finishes, and the converted JPG auto-deletes after 24 hours (you can delete it sooner). We never use your files for AI training or share them with anyone.
Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?
Your TIFF source is lossless, so the output quality depends entirely on the quality setting you pick. The defaults produce results visually or audibly indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
How long does TIFF to JPG conversion take?
Usually seconds. The conversion itself takes from under a second to a few seconds for images and audio — most of the wait is the upload, which depends on your connection speed. Since processing happens in the cloud, your device stays fast, and you can run several conversions in parallel.
Can I convert TIFF to JPG on iPhone or Android?
Yes. Filevo runs entirely in the browser, so it works the same on iPhone, Android, tablets, and computers — no app to install. On mobile, tap Browse Files to pick from your photos or files.
What's the maximum file size?
Anonymous conversions accept files up to 200 MB; a free account raises that to 500 MB. Paid plans go from 1 GB up to 10 GB per file, with higher daily limits and priority queues.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. Drop up to 50 files at once — they roll through the queue automatically. Pick a target format per file or set one per category, then download results individually or grab everything as a single ZIP.
Does converting change my image dimensions or resolution?
No. Converting TIFF to JPG keeps the original pixel dimensions — a 4000×3000 image stays 4000×3000. Only the encoding and the file size change.
Does JPG support transparency?
No. JPG has no alpha channel — transparent areas are filled with a solid background (Filevo uses white) during conversion. If you need transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
Why is my TIFF so much bigger than a JPG?
TIFF stores images losslessly — every detail kept in full — which is great for editing and print but makes files huge. JPG compresses with a small, mostly invisible quality trade-off, so it’s routinely 10× smaller or more. That size cut is the whole point of converting.
Will converting TIFF to JPG lose quality?
JPG is lossy, so technically yes — but Filevo encodes at high quality, so for viewing and sharing the JPG looks essentially identical. The catch is that the lossless detail is gone for editing/print purposes. Keep the TIFF if you need to re-edit; use the JPG to share.
Should I convert TIFF to JPG or to PNG?
Choose JPG for the smallest file to share, email or post — ideal for photos and scanned documents. Choose PNG when you need lossless quality or must keep transparency. For everyday sharing, JPG’s small size wins.
Whether you need photos, web images, email attachments or simply a file that works where TIFF will not open, the converter above turns TIFF into JPG in seconds — free, private, and with nothing to install. Bookmark this page for the next time a TIFF file refuses to cooperate.
