Convert TIFF to JPG online
Convert TIFF to JPG when a scan or a camera export is too large to send. TIFF files from scanners are frequently tens of megabytes; the same image as a JPG is usually a few hundred kilobytes and opens on any device.
When should you convert TIFF to JPG?
- Email a scan that is too large to attach as TIFF
- Upload to a form or a website that rejects TIFF
- Share a photo archive without the storage cost
- View a scan on a phone that has no TIFF support
Before you convert
This is a one-way step
TIFF is lossless and JPG is not. Keep the TIFF if it is your archival scan — the JPG is a distribution copy.
Multi-page TIFFs
TIFF can hold several pages. For a multi-page scan, converting to PDF usually makes more sense than producing separate JPGs.
What happens to your file
JPG cannot store transparency, so any RGBA, LA, or palette image is composited onto a solid white background first and then saved as RGB.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Engine | Pillow (Python Imaging Library) |
|---|---|
| Colour mode | RGB |
| Alpha channel | Flattened onto white |
What changes
- Your TIFF can hold transparency and JPG cannot. Transparent pixels become white — not "removed", but painted over. If you need the cutout to survive, stay on PNG, WebP, or AVIF.
