Works with .tif, .tiff and the JPG you call JPEG
The two TIFF spellings are the same format, and JPG and JPEG are the same too. Add a file with either extension and you get a .jpg back; there is no separate tool to look for.
TIFF to JPG Converter
Add a TIFF or TIF file and get a single JPG back. For a multi-page TIFF, you get page one only.
To convert tiff to jpg, add the .tif or .tiff file, keep JPG as the output format and download the result. In our test, a 5.8 MB TIFF with three pages became one 89 KB jpg of page one only, because a JPG holds a single image.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted after 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the JPG file once before you share it.
FromTIFFLossless
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
A raster container used for scans and print work. One file can hold several images, each with its own directory, and it can store uncompressed, LZW or Group 4 data, bit depths above 8 per channel and colour spaces such as CMYK. Revision 6.0 dates from 1992 and is controlled by Adobe.
ToJPGLossy
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy photo format from the early 1990s built on block-based DCT compression. It is limited to 8-bit standard dynamic range with no alpha channel, yet it opens in practically every editor, viewer, email client and content management system.
A three-page TIFF test scan, 1000 × 750 px, converted on indox.org
- TIFFthe original, 3 pages, LZW
- 5.8 MB
- JPGfrom indox, page 1 only, about 65× smaller
- 89 KB
Why use indox to convert TIFF to JPG?
Nothing to install, any device with a browser
The conversion runs on indox servers, so it works the same on Windows, Mac, a Chromebook, an Android phone or an iPhone. You do not need Photoshop or a desktop viewer that understands TIFF.
A clear answer for multi-page files
A multi-page TIFF gives one JPG, and this page says so up front. We measured it: a three-page TIFF gave one JPG of page one. If you need every page, convert the file to PDF instead.
What happens to your TIFF
Stays
- Your original TIFF, which is not touched
- The pixel size and the dpi value, 300 dpi in our test
- The picture as seen at normal viewing size
- The first page of the scan, as one JPG
Changes
- Pages: only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted
- Compression: lossy JPG at a fixed quality of about 75 replaces the TIFF's storage method
- Colour depth: 8 bits per channel in the JPG
- File size: 5.8 MB became 89 KB in our test, about 65 times smaller
- Colour profile: none is embedded, and CMYK stays CMYK
How do I convert TIFF to JPG online?
- 1
Add your TIFF or TIF file
Drop the file on the box or choose it from your device. Keep the original TIFF: it is your lossless master, and the JPG cannot be turned back into it.
- 2
Confirm JPG, then start the conversion
Check that JPG is the output format on the converter, then start the conversion. In our test it took 5.3 seconds from the click to Completed.
- 3
Download the JPG and open it once
Save the JPG and look at it before you send or upload it. If the source had several pages, this file shows the first one only.
What do I get from indox's TIFF to JPG converter?
You hand over a TIFF or TIF file and take away a JPG of its first page, ready for upload forms, email and editors that do not read TIFF. The page lists what a JPG cannot keep, so you know before you convert whether it fits the job.
- One JPG for the TIFF you add, in a few clicks
- Nothing installed on Windows, Mac or a phone
- Multi-page TIFF stated up front: page one only, with a route to PDF for the rest
- Your original TIFF is left as it was
What are the limits for TIFF to JPG?
Size
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it; a paid plan does not change it.
Formats
TIFF in, JPG out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Privacy
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Deletion
Free-tier files are kept for 24 hours after the job finishes, then deleted automatically.
Limits worth knowing
- A multi-page TIFF gives you one JPG of the first page. The other pages are not exported, so check the page count of your scan before you delete it.
- There is no quality control on this converter. JPG quality is fixed at about 75 with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, so you cannot trade size for detail yourself.
- JPG is lossy, so the result is a smaller approximation of the TIFF. Keep the TIFF if you may need to edit or print the picture later.
- A JPG has no alpha channel and no layers. A CMYK TIFF is not converted to RGB: in our test it stayed a CMYK JPEG, which many browsers and apps show with wrong or odd colours. Convert CMYK artwork to RGB first if it is going on the web.
When the result is not what you expected
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Only one picture from a multi-page scan | A JPG holds one image and the first page is used | Use TIFF to PDF to keep every page, and check the page count |
| A site still rejects the file | Renaming the extension does not change the contents | Upload the converted .jpg, or use TIFF to PNG if the form wants PNG |
| Colours look different from the original | JPG is 8-bit and no colour profile is embedded, so apps assume a default | Compare against the TIFF and keep the original for print work |
| A CMYK TIFF shows odd or wrong colours | The JPG stays CMYK, and many browsers and apps do not display CMYK JPEG correctly | Convert the artwork to RGB in an image editor, then convert it here |
| The picture shows blocky detail | JPG compression discards fine detail | Keep the TIFF master and use the JPG only for sharing |

Which conversions are close to TIFF to JPG?
TIFF vs JPG: what is the difference?
| Compared on | TIFF | JPG |

| Colour | Bit depths above 8 per channel and CMYK are possible | 8 bits per channel, standard dynamic range |
| Where it opens | Scanners, print and imaging software | Practically every editor, browser, phone and email client |
| Typical use | Scans, archives and print masters | Sharing, uploads and web pages |

TIFF to JPG FAQs
How do I convert TIFF to JPG for free?
Open the converter, add your TIFF or TIF file, keep JPG as the output and download the result. You do not need Photoshop or any software on your computer.
Why do I only get one JPG from my multi-page TIFF?
A JPG can hold one image only, and this converter takes the first page of the TIFF. To keep every page, convert the file with TIFF to PDF instead and check the page count of the result.
Does the JPG keep the resolution and the colour profile?
The pixel size and the dpi value stay the same: our 1000 × 750 px, 300 dpi TIFF gave a 1000 × 750 px, 300 dpi JPG. No ICC colour profile is embedded in the result.
Is a TIF file the same as a TIFF file?
Yes. TIF and TIFF are the same format with a shorter and a longer extension, and the same goes for JPG and JPEG. Both TIFF spellings are accepted here and the output is a .jpg file.
Does converting TIFF to JPG lose quality?
Yes, some. TIFF can be lossless, while this converter saves JPG at a fixed quality of about 75, so fine detail is approximated. At normal viewing size the difference is often hard to see, but keep your TIFF if you need a master for print or editing.
Why do the colours of my CMYK TIFF look wrong as a JPG?
The converter keeps CMYK as it is, and a CMYK JPEG shows wrong or odd colours in many browsers and apps. Convert the artwork to RGB in an image editor first, then convert that file here.
Can I convert TIFF to JPG without losing quality?
Not completely. Any move from TIFF to JPG is lossy. If you need no loss at all, convert to PNG instead, which is lossless but gives a larger file.
Should I choose JPG or PNG?
Choose JPG for photos and small files that must upload or send easily. Choose PNG for screenshots, line art or text scans where sharp edges matter more than size.
Can I convert TIFF to JPG on a Mac, Windows, Android or iPhone?
Yes. The converter works in the browser on any of them, so there is nothing to install. Add the file, convert it and save the JPG.
Why will a website not accept my TIFF?
Many upload forms, shop platforms and content systems list JPG and PNG only. Changing the file name to .jpg does not help, because the contents are still TIFF. Convert it to a real JPG.
