Quick Answer
Drop your JPG, PNG or WebP images into the box and each becomes a TIFF in your browser. Choose LZW compression (lossless and smaller) or none (largest but most compatible), and set the DPI tag — 300 DPI is standard for print. PNG transparency can be kept. To make one multi-page TIFF from several images, add them all and press 'Combine into one multi-page TIFF'.
Why Convert JPG to TIFF?
JPG is perfect for sharing photos, but some places insist on TIFF. Print shops and publishers often ask for TIFF artwork because it's lossless and widely supported by prepress software. Archives, libraries and government digitisation projects prefer TIFF for long-term preservation. Fax software, document-management systems and some medical and legal workflows accept only TIFF. And designers use TIFF as a safe intermediate format that won't degrade with repeated saves.
This JPG to TIFF converter (JPG से TIFF) turns JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP images into standard TIFF files in your browser. You choose the compression and the DPI tag, keep transparency where it exists, and can merge several images into one multi-page TIFF. Nothing is uploaded.
How to Use It
- Choose compression: LZW (lossless, smaller) or None (largest, for systems that require uncompressed TIFF).
- Choose the DPI tag: 300 DPI for print, 600 DPI for fine line art, 72 or 150 for screen use.
- Decide on transparency: leave "Keep transparency" on for PNG logos and cut-outs.
- Drop up to 30 images. Each becomes its own .tif file, with size and dimensions shown.
- Download files individually, as a ZIP, or press Combine into one multi-page TIFF.
LZW vs No Compression
| LZW | None | |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Lossless — identical pixels | Lossless — identical pixels |
| File size | Smaller, often much smaller for graphics and documents | Largest: width × height × 3 bytes (4 with transparency) |
| Compatibility | Supported by virtually all modern software | Supported by everything, including very old systems |
| Recommended for | Almost everyone | Legacy fax or archive systems that demand it |
Our LZW output also uses the TIFF "horizontal predictor", a standard trick that stores the difference between neighbouring pixels. It makes photos and gradients compress noticeably better while remaining fully lossless and compatible.
Understanding the DPI Setting
DPI (dots per inch) in a TIFF is a label, not a change to the picture. It tells printing and layout software how many pixels to place in each inch of paper. The pixels themselves stay exactly the same. For example, a 2400 × 3000 pixel photo tagged at 300 DPI prints at 8 × 10 inches; the same file tagged at 600 DPI prints at 4 × 5 inches, twice as sharp but half the size.
- 300 DPI: the standard for photos, brochures and most print jobs.
- 600 DPI: for line art, logos and text-heavy scans that must stay razor sharp.
- 150 DPI: posters viewed from a distance and draft prints.
- 72 DPI: screen use; most software ignores DPI for on-screen display anyway.
To print a JPG at a particular size, it needs enough pixels: multiply the inches by the DPI. An A4 page at 300 DPI needs about 2480 × 3508 pixels. If your image is smaller, the print will be softer — no format conversion can create real detail. Use our Image Resizer if a print shop asks for exact pixel dimensions.
Making a Multi-Page TIFF
A multi-page TIFF holds several images in a single file — like a PDF made of pictures. It's the classic format for faxing documents, submitting scanned forms to some document-management systems and archiving related pages together. To create one, add all your images (for example, the photographed pages of a form), check that the list order is right, and press Combine into one multi-page TIFF. You get a single combined-multipage.tif in which each image is one page, at its own original size, with the compression and DPI you selected. If any image has transparency and the option is on, the combined file keeps an alpha channel.
Transparency
PNG and WebP images can have transparent backgrounds. With Keep transparency on, those images become RGBA TIFFs that preserve the transparent areas — useful for logos and cut-out product photos destined for print layouts in InDesign, QuarkXPress or Affinity Publisher. Images without transparent pixels are written as ordinary RGB TIFFs automatically, so you never get an unnecessary alpha channel. Turn the option off if a printer or system rejects transparent TIFFs; transparent areas are then filled with white, just as they would appear on paper.
Will TIFF Make My JPG Better?
A common misconception is that converting a JPG to TIFF increases its quality. It doesn't. JPG discards some fine detail when it's saved; converting to TIFF simply stores the remaining pixels without any further loss. The benefit is that no additional quality is lost from here on — useful when an image will be edited and saved repeatedly, or when a printer requires a lossless format. If you have the original high-quality source (a camera RAW file or the designer's master), convert from that instead for the best result.
TIFF or PDF for Documents?
If you are sending a set of scanned pages to a person rather than a system, a PDF is usually friendlier — it opens on every phone and keeps pages together with a clear page count. Choose a multi-page TIFF when the receiving software specifically requires TIFF, as many fax gateways, records systems and print workflows do. You can always switch later with TIFF to PDF or PDF to TIFF.
Common Uses
- Print shops and publishers that request TIFF artwork at 300 DPI.
- Fax and document systems that only accept TIFF or multi-page TIFF uploads from users and customers.
- Archiving photos and documents in a stable, lossless format that libraries and record offices recommend for long-term preservation.
- Stock and publishing submissions that list TIFF as a required format for book covers, magazines and newspapers.
- Editing workflows where repeated saves must not degrade the image, such as retouching or restoring old family photographs.
- Legal and medical records systems that standardise on TIFF for scanned files and attachments.
Standard, Compatible Output
The files are baseline TIFF — the core part of the TIFF 6.0 specification that every TIFF reader must support — with 8 bits per channel, Intel byte order and either LZW or no compression. During development, the output was checked pixel-for-pixel against libtiff, the reference TIFF library used by countless applications, including multi-page and transparent files. Each page also records its resolution and the software name, as the specification recommends.
Worked Example
A print shop asks for a wedding photo as a 300 DPI TIFF. Your file is couple.jpg, 4000 × 3000 pixels, 3.1 MB. Choose LZW and 300 DPI, drop the photo, and you get couple.tif. At 300 DPI it prints at 13.3 × 10 inches (4000 ÷ 300 by 3000 ÷ 300). The TIFF will be several times larger than the JPG — that's expected, because every pixel is now stored losslessly — but the print shop's software can open and process it without any further quality loss.
Batch Conversion
Add up to 30 images at once — a whole folder of product photos for a catalogue printer, say, or every page you photographed of a document. They are converted one after another so the page stays responsive, and every row shows the TIFF size and pixel dimensions. Download All (ZIP) saves everything in one go; Re-convert with Settings applies a new compression or DPI choice to the whole list; and Clear List starts again. You can also paste an image straight from the clipboard.
Works on Any Device
The converter needs only a modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iPhone. Photos taken on a phone can be converted right there and sent to the print shop. Because TIFF files are large, very big batches are more comfortable on a computer with plenty of memory.
Private by Design
Your images are decoded by the browser and encoded into TIFF by code running on your own device. Nothing is uploaded or stored, and the ZIP for batch downloads is created locally too.
Troubleshooting
- "Too large to process": images over about 40 megapixels exceed browser limits.
- An old program can't open the file: switch to "None" compression and convert again.
- Printer rejects transparency: untick "Keep transparency".
- Animated GIF: only the first frame is converted.
- Wrong page order in a combined TIFF: clear the list and add images in the desired order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert JPG to TIFF?
Drop your JPG files into the box. Each is converted to TIFF in your browser; download them one by one or as a ZIP.
Can I convert PNG to TIFF and keep transparency?
Yes. Keep 'Keep transparency' ticked and PNG or WebP images with transparent areas become TIFFs with an alpha channel.
How do I make a multi-page TIFF?
Add all the images, then press 'Combine into one multi-page TIFF'. Pages follow the order of the list.
Should I choose LZW or no compression?
LZW is lossless and usually much smaller; almost every program reads it. Choose 'None' only if an old system or fax software requires uncompressed TIFF.
What does the DPI setting do?
It sets the resolution tag that tells printers how big to print the image. It does not add or remove pixels. 300 DPI is the usual print standard.
Will converting JPG to TIFF improve quality?
No. TIFF stores the JPG's pixels losslessly, so no further quality is lost, but detail already removed by JPG compression can't come back.
Why is the TIFF larger than my JPG?
JPG uses lossy compression; TIFF keeps every pixel without it. A TIFF is commonly several times larger than the JPG it came from.
Which programs open these TIFF files?
Photoshop, GIMP, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, Office, printing and archive software — the files use standard baseline TIFF with LZW or no compression.
Is there a size limit?
Up to 30 images per batch and about 40 megapixels per image.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The TIFF files are created entirely in your browser.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Large batches are faster on a computer.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up or watermark.
