What are TIFF and JPG files?
TIFF (.tif, .tiff)
TIFF is a high-quality format used for printing, scanning and archiving. It supports layers and multiple pages, which makes it popular with scanners, publishers and photographers.
JPG (.jpg, .jpeg)
JPG (or JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. It uses lossy compression that removes detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small enough for web pages, WhatsApp, email and online application forms.
Tips for the best JPG results
- JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background colour (white by default — you can change it).
- A quality of 85–92% gives excellent results at a fraction of the size. Use the Image KB Converter if a form requires a specific file size.
- Bookmark this page or install the app to convert TIFF files offline next time.
Private by design: how this converter works
Unlike typical online converters that upload your file to a remote server, this TIFF to JPG converter processes everything on your own device using the HTML5 Canvas API and native image decoders built into your browser. Your file is read into browser memory, converted, and offered back as a download — it is never sent to us.
- No upload wait — conversion starts instantly, even on slow mobile data.
- Private — safe for NID copies, certificates, bank statements and personal photos.
- No limits — no daily quota, no queue and no watermark.
- Offline-ready — once loaded, many tools keep working without internet.
