TIFF to JPG: what to know

TIFF files mostly come from scanners, layout and print software, professional photo workflows and digitised archives. JPG makes them easy to share: a scan of several tens of megabytes often shrinks to a few megabytes. TIFFs with 16 bits per colour are brought down to 8 bits, the standard for screens and everyday printing.

CMYK files, common at print shops, are converted to screen colours with the colour profile they contain (FOGRA, SWOP…). Without one, a simple formula is used and a message warns that shades may shift, which matters for brand visuals. Any transparency channel turns white. If your scanner produces TIFFs that are rejected, check its compression: in black-and-white mode it is often fax-type (CCITT), so choose LZW or none.

TIFF vs JPG: what’s the difference?

TIFFTagged Image File Format

A high-quality image format widely used for printing, scanning and archiving; one file can hold several pages. It keeps every detail, but files are large and not suited to the web.

Lossy or lossless
Transparency
Yes
Animation
No

JPGJPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

The most widely used photo format, introduced in 1992. Its lossy compression keeps files small, and it opens everywhere: phones, computers and social networks. It does not support transparency.

TIFF to JPG: frequently asked questions

How do I get every page of a TIFF as JPG images?

Converting straight to JPG keeps only the first page. Convert the TIFF to PDF first, which keeps every page, then convert that PDF to JPG: each page becomes an image, and you get them all in a ZIP file. Choose 300 dpi to keep as much detail as possible.

What happens to a very large TIFF?

It is not rejected: it is scaled down to what the browser can handle, about 50 megapixels (16.7 in Safari and in any browser on iPhone or iPad), and a message tells you so. An A4 scan at 600 dpi, about 35 megapixels, goes through in full in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer; in Safari, and on iPhone and iPad, it is brought down to 16.7 megapixels, roughly the equivalent of 415 dpi.

Are my TIFF files uploaded to the internet?

No. The file is read and converted by your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is kept after you close the page.

Does converting TIFF to JPG reduce quality?

JPG uses lossy compression, but at the default setting (90% quality) the difference is invisible to the naked eye. You can go up to 100% in the settings.

How many TIFF files can I convert?

As many as you like, for free and without signing up. Add them all, then download the results one by one or in a single ZIP. The maximum size depends on your device and browser, with a few caps that protect its memory (for example 20,000 files per archive or 5 million filled cells per workbook: see the home page FAQ); a file over one of them is not converted, and a message says so.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Formatomat is designed for recent browsers on computers, iPhone and Android, with no app to install. A conversion the browser cannot do (a format it cannot read or write) is refused with a message that says so.
