Converting TIFF to JPG, explained
TIFF is the format of scanners, faxes-turned-PDF workflows, and professional exports — high quality, huge files, and browsers can't even display it. This tool ships a TIFF decoder in JavaScript: each file is parsed and decoded to pixels on your device, then encoded as a JPG you can email, upload, and preview anywhere.
Multi-megabyte scan batches are exactly the use case: queue them all, convert, save all. Nothing uploads — relevant, since scanned documents are usually the sensitive kind.
Who still meets TIFF in 2026
More people than you'd guess: anyone receiving files from flatbed scanners and office copiers (TIFF remains their default), medical and legal archives, GIS and satellite imagery, museum digitization projects, and old design archives where masters were saved as TIFF for quality. The format isn't wrong — it's an excellent archival container — it's just unviewable in browsers and unsendable through most upload forms, which is the gap this converter closes. Size is the other motive: a 600 DPI letter-size scan is a 30–100 MB TIFF, and the same page as a quality-92 JPG is 1–3 MB, small enough for email and portals with 10 MB limits. Decoding a file that size takes a second or two in the browser, so very large scans are best converted a few at a time.
Practical tip for scanned documents: convert to JPG for sharing and review, but keep the TIFF originals if the scans have archival value — JPG re-encoding is a one-way door for quality. Two features of the source also disappear in the JPG: transparency (alpha channels in layered TIFFs are flattened onto white) and any page after the first. Scans convert at their native pixel dimensions — a 300 DPI letter page stays 2550×3300 — so the resolution available for OCR afterwards is whatever the scanner produced. Output names keep the TIFF's base name with a .jpg extension, so scan_0001.tif becomes scan_0001.jpg and a numbered batch stays in order when it lands in a folder.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the TIFF to JPG.
01Does TIFF to JPG keep the scan's resolution for OCR?
The pixel dimensions are unchanged — a 300 DPI letter-size scan stays 2550×3300 — so the detail available to OCR is exactly what the scanner produced. What does not survive is the DPI tag itself: the JPG is written from a canvas without resolution metadata, so if an OCR tool asks for DPI, enter the scanner's setting rather than accepting a 72 or 96 default.
02My TIFF has multiple pages — what converts?
The first page/image in the file (the common case for photos and single-page scans). For multi-page document TIFFs, convert the source to PDF first if you need every page — or split pages in your scanner software.
03Which kinds of TIFF can the decoder handle?
The in-browser decoder reads uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate/ZIP, CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 fax, and JPEG-in-TIFF compression, in bilevel, grayscale, palette and RGB color — which covers scanner and copier output, fax archives and most application exports. Pixels are converted to 8-bit RGB before the 92% JPG is written, so 16-bit and CMYK files lose depth and color management, and unusual variants such as 32-bit float scientific data or layered Photoshop TIFFs may fail; flatten those in the source application first.
