TIFF Converter
Upload your TIFF file below and choose the output format. The URL updates instantly as you select, and conversion happens right in your browser — your files stay private.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the standard image format for print production, professional scanning, medical imaging, and archiving. It stores full pixel data with lossless or uncompressed encoding, producing files that contain maximum image detail — at the cost of enormous file sizes.
A typical scanned document page as TIFF runs 5 to 12MB. A high-resolution photograph for print can reach 100MB or more. TIFF is common in publishing workflows, document management systems, healthcare, and any scenario where image fidelity takes priority over file size.
The web doesn't support TIFF. No major browser renders TIFF images natively. Converting TIFF to JPG for sharing or PDF for documents, or to PNG for lossless web-compatible output, is a routine task in offices, clinics, and print shops. This converter handles all those directions in your browser without any software to install.

- Archiving physical documents by converting scanner TIFFs to smaller, portable formats
Real World Examples
Converting scanned contract pages from TIFF to PDF
A legal assistant scans a 30-page contract on a multifunction printer that saves each page as an individual TIFF file. Each page runs 8 to 12MB. Converting each TIFF to JPG at 95% quality reduces them to 300 to 500KB while keeping all text sharp and legible. The converted images combine into a single PDF that's under 15MB — well within email attachment limits and easy to store in a document management system.
Preparing a TIFF print image for a website
A graphic designer receives a 450MB CMYK TIFF from a print vendor for a product catalog page. The web team needs a version for the company website. Converting to JPG at 90% quality in sRGB color space produces a 1.8MB file that loads fast in a browser. The design detail looks identical at screen resolution even though the file is 250 times smaller than the source.
Uploading a TIFF medical scan to a patient portal
A patient receives a high-resolution TIFF of their X-ray from a radiology clinic. Their insurance company's patient portal only accepts JPG uploads. Converting the 28MB TIFF to JPG at 95% quality gives a 2.4MB file that retains every diagnostic detail the radiologist marked. The portal upload completes in seconds.

TIFF vs Other Formats
| Format | File Size | Transparency | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| TIFF | Very large (5-500MB typical) | Yes | Print production, medical imaging, archiving |
| JPG | Small (lossy) | No | Sharing, email, web display, portals |
| PNG | Medium (lossless) | Yes | Web graphics, lossless web-compatible output |
| Variable | No | Document distribution, printing |
Tips for Best Results
- For scanned documents or legal files, use JPG at 95% quality or PNG to preserve text legibility and any fine detail. Don't go below 90% for documents.
- TIFF files from professional scanners are sometimes multi-page. This converter processes one page at a time. Export each TIFF page before combining.
- TIFF files in CMYK color mode may show a slight color shift when converted to JPG or PNG, which both use sRGB. If accurate color is needed, check the output against the original.
- Very large TIFFs (over 50MB) may take 15 to 30 seconds to process in the browser. Keep the tab active during conversion.
- If you receive a TIFF from a print supplier, ask for the embedded ICC color profile. Some conversion tools strip it; this converter maintains sRGB output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TIFF converter free?
Yes. The tool is completely free to use and doesn't require an account.
Are my files kept private?
Your files are processed locally in your browser and are never sent to our servers. Nothing is stored.
What file size can I upload?
You can upload files up to 50MB. For best performance, files under 10MB process fastest.
Which formats can I convert TIFF to?
You can convert TIFF to JPG, PNG, WebP.
Can browsers display TIFF files?
No major browser renders TIFF natively. Safari on macOS has very limited TIFF support, but Chrome, Firefox, and Edge all require a plugin or conversion. Convert to JPG or PNG for any web use.
Does converting TIFF to JPG lose quality?
At 90 to 95% JPG quality, quality loss is minimal and undetectable for most uses at normal viewing sizes. For archival, medical, or legal purposes where maximum fidelity is needed, convert to PNG instead — it's lossless and opens in every modern browser and image editor.
Why is my TIFF file so large?
TIFF stores raw or minimally-compressed pixel data. A single 300 DPI A4 scan at 24-bit color contains around 25 million pixels — roughly 75MB of raw data before any compression. Even with lossless compression, TIFF files are large by design.
Conclusion
TIFF files are built for print and archiving, not for sharing or web display. Converting to JPG reduces file size by 90 to 95% for everyday sharing. Converting to PNG gives a lossless web-compatible result. Upload your TIFF file using the tool above and download in seconds — all processing runs in your browser.
