TIFF vs JPG: Technical Overview

TIFF is a flexible, mostly lossless format used by scanners, professional cameras and print workflows. It can store high bit depths, CMYK, multiple pages and layers, and it often produces very large files: an uncompressed 24-megapixel image is about 72 MB. JPEG is the universal lossy photo format. It stores 8-bit sRGB (or grayscale) images at a fraction of TIFF's size, and every app, browser and device can display it. Converting TIFF to JPG is the standard step from a production or archival master to a shareable copy: the image looks the same on screen, but the file becomes small enough to email, upload and view anywhere.

Why Convert TIFF to JPG?

TIFF files are too big and too specialized for everyday use. Browsers other than Safari don't display them, email attachment limits reject them, and websites won't accept them. Photographers, archivists and anyone scanning photos convert TIFF masters to JPG for sharing, publishing, printing at labs and uploading to galleries and social media.

Scans of old photographs, artwork and documents are commonly saved as TIFF by scanning software. Converting to JPG lets you share those family photos or documents with relatives and colleagues who just want to open the picture, while you keep the TIFF as your archival master.

What Changes During TIFF to JPG Conversion

The JPG keeps the image's full pixel dimensions and is saved at quality 92, visually identical to the TIFF at normal viewing sizes. File size shrinks dramatically: in our tests a 35 MB three-page TIFF gave a 730 KB JPG of its first page. For multi-page TIFFs, the first page is converted. Transparency and alpha channels are flattened onto white, and high-bit-depth images are reduced to 8 bits per channel. For multi-page scans you want to keep together, TIFF to PDF keeps every page.

Tips for Best TIFF to JPG Results

  • 1.Keep the TIFF as your master and share the JPG; you can always make another JPG from the TIFF, but not the reverse.
  • 2.For multi-page scans, use TIFF to PDF to keep all pages together.
  • 3.If the image has transparency you need, convert TIFF to PNG instead.
  • 4.For printing large photos at a lab, the full-resolution JPG at quality 92 is more than sufficient.

Benefits of Converting TIFF to JPG

  • Dramatically reduce file size
  • Universal image compatibility
  • Perfect for web and sharing

TIFF to JPG — Frequently Asked Questions

Will the JPG lose quality?

Technically JPEG is lossy, but at quality 92 the difference isn't visible at normal viewing and printing sizes.

How much smaller is the JPG?

Usually 90% or more smaller than an uncompressed TIFF, depending on the image content.

What happens with multi-page TIFFs?

The first page is converted to a JPG. Use TIFF to PDF to keep every page.

Is the resolution kept?

Yes, the JPG has the same pixel dimensions as the TIFF.

Does it support 16-bit TIFFs?

Yes. They're converted to 8 bits per channel, which is what JPEG supports.
