TIFF to JPG Converter

What Is a TIFF File?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format, with the extension .tif or .tiff) is the workhorse format of scanners, fax machines, professional cameras, printing presses and document archives. It stores images losslessly — often with no compression at all — and can hold several pages in one file. That makes TIFF excellent for archiving and printing, but awkward for everyday use: files are huge, most phones and browsers can't preview them, and email or upload forms often reject them.

This TIFF to JPG converter (TIFF से JPG) solves that in your browser. It reads virtually every kind of TIFF — uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, PackBits, CCITT fax, colour, greyscale, black-and-white and CMYK — and turns each page into a compact, universally supported JPG. Your scans are never uploaded, which matters for ID documents, certificates, medical reports and contracts.

How to Use It

1. Pick the JPG quality with the slider; 92% is a good balance of size and quality.
2. Choose pages: "First page only" gives one JPG per file; "All pages" gives a ZIP with one JPG per page for multi-page TIFFs.
3. Drop your TIFF files (up to 30) into the box, or tap to choose them.
4. Download each result, or press Download All (ZIP). Changed your mind about quality? Press Re-convert with Settings.

TIFF vs JPG

An A4 page at 300 DPI is 2480 × 3508 pixels; at three bytes per pixel that is roughly 26 MB of raw image data, which is why uncompressed TIFF scans are so large. Keep the original TIFF as your master copy and use JPG for sharing.

Multi-Page TIFFs

Scanners with document feeders and fax software often save a whole document — say, a 12-page agreement — as one multi-page TIFF. Most image viewers only show the first page, so people assume the rest is missing. With All pages selected, every page is converted and named in order (agreement-page01.jpg, agreement-page02.jpg…) inside a single ZIP. Small preview copies that some scanners embed (reduced-resolution sub-images) are skipped automatically, so you only get the real pages. If you want the pages kept together as one document instead, use our TIFF to PDF converter.

Choosing the JPG Quality

• 100%: the highest quality and the largest JPG — for printing or further editing.
• 90–95%: visually indistinguishable from the original for photos and colour scans. Recommended.
• 80–85%: noticeably smaller files, still clear for text documents and email.
• Below 75%: compression artefacts around text and edges start to appear.

If a portal limits upload size in KB, convert at 90%, then fine-tune with our Resize Image in KB tool.

Worked Example

An office scanner saves a 5-page rental agreement as agreement.tif: colour, 300 DPI, LZW-compressed, 48 MB in total. You need to email it to a landlord whose mailbox rejects files over 10 MB. Set the quality to 85%, choose All pages and drop the file. In a few seconds you get agreement-jpg.zip containing five JPGs, typically 1–2 MB each depending on how much colour and detail the pages contain — comfortably under the limit, still sharp enough to read every clause, and each page prints at true A4 size because the 300 DPI setting is kept. If the landlord prefers one document, drop the same TIFF into TIFF to PDF instead.

Converting Many Files at Once

You can add up to 30 TIFFs in one go — handy after scanning a stack of certificates or receipts. Files are converted one after another so the page stays responsive, and each row shows the original size, the new JPG size and the pixel dimensions. When everything is done, Download All (ZIP) bundles the results. If you change the quality or page setting afterwards, Re-convert with Settings processes the whole list again without re-adding files, and Clear List starts fresh.

DPI Is Preserved

A TIFF scan records its resolution — commonly 200, 300 or 600 DPI. That number tells printers and word processors how large the image should be on paper. Many converters throw it away, so a 300 DPI A4 scan suddenly prints at poster size or appears tiny in a document. This tool copies the TIFF's DPI into the JPG header, so the converted page keeps its true physical size when printed or inserted into Word.

Supported TIFF Types

• Compression: none, LZW, Deflate/ZIP, PackBits, CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 (fax), and JPEG-compressed TIFF.
• Colour: RGB colour, greyscale, 1-bit black and white, palette (indexed) and CMYK (from print workflows).
• Bit depth: 1, 8 and 16 bits per channel; 16-bit images are reduced to 8-bit, which is all JPG can store.
• Byte order: both Intel (II) and Motorola (MM) TIFFs.

Images larger than about 40 megapixels (for example 8000 × 5000 pixels) exceed what browsers can safely process and are rejected with a clear message rather than crashing the tab.

Why Can't My Phone Open TIFF Files?

Most web browsers and many Android gallery apps have no built-in TIFF viewer, and several common image viewers show only the first page of a multi-page file, so the remaining pages seem to be missing. Messaging apps send TIFFs as generic documents, so the recipient often sees just a file icon. Converting to JPG makes every page instantly viewable in the gallery, in chat apps and in any web browser on any device.

Common Uses

• Office scans: convert scanner output into JPGs you can attach to emails or WhatsApp.
• Online applications: government, exam and job portals usually accept JPG, not TIFF.
• Fax documents: turn received fax TIFFs into viewable images on any phone.
• Photography and design: make lightweight previews of high-resolution TIFF masters.
• Archives: share pages from digitised records, old photos and family documents.
• Websites: browsers don't display TIFF, so convert images to JPG before publishing.

Private by Design

Scans often contain Aadhaar or PAN cards, mark sheets, bank documents or medical reports. Most online converters upload them to a server. Here, the open-source UTIF.js decoder runs inside your browser, the JPG is encoded locally, and nothing is uploaded, logged or stored. Close the tab and every trace is gone.

Troubleshooting

• "Not a valid TIFF file": the file may be damaged, or it is a different format renamed to .tif. Try opening it in another program first.
• Only one JPG from a multi-page scan: switch Pages to "All pages" and press Re-convert with Settings.
• Colours look slightly different: CMYK TIFFs from print workflows are converted to screen RGB, which can shift some colours a little.
• "Too large to process": the image exceeds about 40 megapixels; reduce its size in an editor first.
• Transparent background turned white: that's JPG's limitation — use TIFF to PNG.

Tips

• Keep the TIFF as your archival master; JPG is for sharing.
• Need text, not pictures? Use TIFF to Text (OCR) to get the words as copyable, editable text.
• Need a document? Combine the pages into one file with TIFF to PDF.
• Going the other way? JPG to TIFF creates TIFFs for print shops and archives.

Works on Any Device

The converter runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone — no software to install. Phones are fine for a few pages; for large batches of high-resolution scans, a computer is faster because it has more memory.

Quick Glossary

• TIFF / TIF: a flexible, usually lossless image format used for scans and print.
• JPG / JPEG: the most common photo format, with adjustable lossy compression.
• LZW: a lossless compression method widely used inside TIFF files.
• DPI: dots per inch — how many pixels make up one inch when printed.
• CCITT Group 4: the compression used for black-and-white fax and document scans.

Why Use This Converter?

It handles the TIFFs that trip up other tools — multi-page scans, fax files and CMYK prints — keeps your DPI, works in batches and never uploads your documents. Free, fast and private. Related tools: TIFF to PNG, Image Compressor and Image Converter.
