Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your TIFF file never leaves your device.

Why is the JPG file so much smaller than the TIFF?

TIFF files often store every pixel without compression (or use lossless compression), making them very large. JPEG uses lossy compression optimized for photographic content, which can reduce file size by 90% or more while keeping the image visually sharp.

Does TIFF support transparency?

Yes, TIFF files can contain an alpha channel for transparency. However, JPEG does not support transparency. Any transparent pixels in the original TIFF are composited onto a white background before export.

What quality setting should I use?

For photos and complex images, 80–90% gives excellent visual quality with significant size savings. For simple graphics or documents, 60–75% is usually sufficient. Use 100% only when maximum fidelity is required.

Why does my TIFF not load in the browser?

This tool uses UTIF.js because native TIFF support is inconsistent across browsers. Unusual compression, damaged files, or extremely large TIFF pages may still fail; re-save such files as a standard TIFF before converting.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical limit is your browser's available memory — typically several hundred megabytes. Very large TIFF files (e.g., high-resolution scans) may be slow to process on low-end devices.

Summary

This tool converts TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images to JPEG format entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. TIFF files are commonly used in professional photography, printing, and scanning workflows; they are often very large due to lossless or uncompressed storage. Converting to JPEG dramatically reduces file size while retaining good visual quality. You can fine-tune the JPEG quality from 1% to 100% to balance output size against image clarity. No files are uploaded to any server — your images stay completely private on your device.

How it works

Select or drag a TIFF or TIF image onto the upload area.
UTIF.js decodes the first TIFF page into RGBA pixels in your browser.
The Canvas API draws the decoded pixels onto a white background (replacing any transparency).
Use the quality slider to choose a JPEG quality from 1% to 100%.
A live preview and file size comparison update instantly as you adjust quality.
Click "Download JPG" to save the converted JPEG to your device.

Use cases
