Is my TIFF file uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and conversion run entirely in your browser using JavaScript (UTIF.js) and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.

Why is the default quality 90% instead of 85%?

TIFF files are typically archival or professional-grade images where detail matters. We set 90% as the default to better preserve that quality, while still achieving a significant file size reduction compared to the original TIFF.

What happens to transparency in my TIFF?

JPG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels are filled with the background colour you choose (white by default). For images with transparency that you want to keep, convert to PNG instead.

My large TIFF is taking a long time — is that normal?

Yes. TIFF files from professional cameras or scanners can be very large (50–200 MB). Decoding them entirely in the browser requires significant memory and processing time. A 50 MB TIFF may take 5–15 seconds depending on your device.

Will converting TIFF to JPG reduce quality?

Yes — JPG is lossy. At 90% quality the loss is invisible to the human eye, but each re-save compounds the loss. Always keep the original TIFF and distribute the JPG copy.

Can I convert a multi-page TIFF?

This tool converts the first page only. For multi-page TIFFs (scanned documents), each page needs to be processed separately, or use a desktop tool like ImageMagick for batch extraction.

Why Convert TIFF to JPG?

TIFF files are the gold standard for professional photography and print production — lossless, high-fidelity, and enormous in size. A single TIFF photo from a professional camera can easily exceed 50 MB. Converting to JPG reduces that to 2–5 MB with virtually no visible difference, making files practical for email, web upload, or sharing via messaging apps. JPG is also universally supported — unlike TIFF, which many consumer apps refuse to open.

Quality Setting Guide

Use Case	Recommended Quality	Result
Email / messaging	75–85%	Very small, good quality
Social media	80–85%	Small, sharp
Web publishing	85–90%	Balanced
Print-ready sharing	90–95%	Near-lossless, larger

Tips for Converting TIFF Photos

TIFF files often come from scanners or professional cameras and may be very large. The browser processes everything in memory, so files above ~100 MB may be slow depending on your device. For very large TIFFs, set quality to 90% to strike the best balance between file size and image fidelity. If your TIFF has a transparent or white background, make sure the background colour picker matches to avoid an unwanted border.

When to Keep TIFF vs Convert to JPG

Keep the original TIFF as your master archive — it holds every bit of data the camera or scanner captured, which cannot be recovered if discarded. Convert to JPG when you need to share the image, upload it to a website, send it by email, or use it in a presentation. A practical workflow: archive the TIFF, distribute the JPG. Never discard the TIFF after converting — JPG compression is lossy and irreversible.
