To convert TIFF to JPG, drop the .tif or .tiff file in and click Convert to JPG. It works for common TIFF types, and it says so plainly when a file is one it can't read. The conversion runs in your browser, with no upload.
Why won't my TIFF open in the browser?
TIFF is a high-quality format used for scans, print production, and archives. Chrome and Edge can't display it, and many apps and upload forms reject it. TIFF files are also huge, often tens of megabytes.
This tool includes its own small TIFF reader so it works the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
How to convert TIFF to JPG
- Click Select File, or drag a .tif or .tiff file into the drop zone.
- Click Convert to JPG. Large scans can take a few seconds.
- Check the preview, then click Download.
Which TIFF files work, and which don't
These work: color, grayscale, black-and-white, palette, and CMYK TIFFs, with or without an alpha channel, saved uncompressed or with LZW, PackBits, Deflate, or CCITT compression, at 8 or 16 bits. For multi-page TIFFs, the first page is converted, and the page tells you how many there are.
These aren't supported: JPEG-compressed TIFFs, BigTIFF files, planar layouts, and 32-bit floating-point files. When you drop one, the tool says so instead of producing a wrong picture. For those, export a JPG from an image editor. 16-bit files are reduced to 8-bit, and CMYK colors are approximated.
After converting
- Turn a scan into a document with Image to PDF.
- Convert an old bitmap with BMP to JPG.
- Change to another format with Image Converter.
Keep the TIFF as your master copy. JPG is best for sharing. Our image format guide explains when each format makes sense.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't Chrome or Edge open my TIFF?
They don't include a TIFF reader. Safari can open some. This tool has its own reader, so it works in any browser.
Which kinds of TIFF are supported?
Common color, grayscale, black-and-white, palette, and CMYK TIFFs, uncompressed or using LZW, PackBits, Deflate, or CCITT compression, in striped or tiled form.
Which TIFF files might not convert?
JPEG-compressed TIFFs, BigTIFF, planar layouts, and 32-bit floating-point files aren't supported. The tool tells you instead of producing a wrong image.
Does it convert every page of a multi-page TIFF?
Only the first page. The page tells you how many pages the file has.
How much smaller will the JPG be?
Usually much smaller, often from tens of megabytes down to a few. Keep the TIFF if you need the original.
Is my TIFF uploaded?
No. The reader runs in your browser, so scans and private photos never leave your computer.
