No uploads to servers

Your files stay on your device

The TIFF is decoded by a JavaScript decoder inside your browser tab — UTIF, the decoder from Photopea — and the pixels are painted onto a canvas and re-encoded there. The file bytes are never sent to FindUtils or anywhere else, and you can confirm it in your browser's network panel.

How to Convert TIFF to JPG

  1. Open the converter

    Go to the TIFF to JPG page. Nothing installs and there is no account step.
  2. Drop your TIFF files

    Drag one or more .tif or .tiff files onto the drop area, or click it to browse. Conversion starts immediately, one file after another.
  3. Pick a format if you need something other than JPG

    JPG is selected by default. Open Options to switch to PNG or WebP, or to move the JPEG quality slider away from its default of 90. The slider runs from 40 to 100 and is ignored when the output is PNG.
  4. Download the result

    A single output downloads directly. Two or more come back as tiff-jpg.zip, which includes every page of a multi-page file. Anything that failed is listed by name and the rest of the batch is unaffected.

Common Use Cases

Uploading a scanned document to a web form

Scanners write TIFF, and portals accept JPG and PNG. A colour A4 page scanned at 300 dpi is about 26 MB as an uncompressed TIFF and usually a few hundred kilobytes as a JPG.

Splitting a multi-page fax or scan

A fax server or multifunction printer writes every page into one TIFF. This gives you one image per page, numbered p1, p2, p3.

Sharing a print or stock photo TIFF

WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and most messaging apps refuse a .tif outright. A JPG goes through unchanged.

Putting a Photoshop or Lightroom export on a website

Convert to WebP for a smaller file, or to JPG for a product upload that only accepts the common formats.

Why use this TIFF converter?

TIFF is what a flatbed or document scanner writes, what a fax server and a multifunction printer produce, and what Photoshop, Lightroom, stock agencies, print shops, medical imaging, GIS software, and archives hand you. Windows and macOS both open a TIFF without complaint, so the file is not the problem until you try to send it. Web upload forms reject it. WhatsApp and most messaging apps refuse it. LinkedIn and the other social networks will not take it. Many CMS and e-commerce product uploads turn it away, and an email preview often shows a blank attachment where the picture should be. Size is the second half of the problem. An A4 page scanned at 300 dpi in colour is 2480 by 3508 pixels, about 26 MB as an uncompressed TIFF; the same page as a JPG is usually a few hundred kilobytes. That is a rough range rather than a measurement of your file, but it is the reason a form that accepts JPG still rejects the TIFF of the same page. This page converts without an upload. Drop one file or a folder full, and each one is decoded in the browser tab and re-encoded as JPG, PNG, or WebP. Multi-page files are handled properly: a scanner or fax TIFF holding several pages produces one image per page, named {stem}-p1, {stem}-p2 and so on, each listed with its pixel size.

The FindUtils TIFF to JPG converter turns .tif and .tiff files into JPG, PNG, or WebP images that upload forms, messaging apps, and social networks actually accept. It runs entirely in your browser: UTIF, the JavaScript decoder written for Photopea, reads the TIFF on your own device, and the pixels are painted onto a canvas and re-encoded there. No WebAssembly download is needed and the file bytes are never transmitted anywhere.

The format is broader than most converters admit, and this one covers the range a scanner, a fax server, or a design tool is likely to produce: uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate (ZIP), CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 fax, and JPEG-compressed TIFF; 1-bit black and white, 8-bit and 16-bit grayscale and RGB, palette (indexed) colour, CMYK, and YCbCr; strips and tiles; and little-endian and big-endian files. The orientation tag is not applied, so a scan tagged as rotated comes out as stored. Multi-page files are the case that usually breaks a converter — here every page becomes its own numbered image, listed with its pixel size.

Four things are refused on purpose, and it is better to know before you drop the file: BigTIFF, the 64-bit variant scanners rarely write; 32-bit floating-point and other scientific or HDR TIFFs; camera raw files that carry a .tif name, such as DNG; and the layers of a Photoshop TIFF, where you get the flattened composite the file already stores. A CMYK TIFF is converted to RGB without an ICC profile, so its colours can shift slightly against a colour-managed view.

Converting through a canvas also removes every piece of embedded metadata — EXIF, IPTC, XMP, the ICC profile, and any GPS location — and that cannot be switched off. If you need to make the resulting file smaller, the image compressor takes it from here; to change dimensions use the image resizer; for the everyday formats use the image format converter; and to gather the pages of a converted scan back into one document, use images to PDF. Phone photos in Apple's format have their own page at HEIC to JPG, and modern web images at AVIF to JPG.

How it compares

Most TIFF converters that rank for this job upload your file to a server, convert it there, and hand back a download link. With scans that is a poor trade: a 40 MB document goes over the wire and lands on somebody else's machine, held for whatever period their policy states, and a size cap or a queue often stops the job before it starts. This page has none of those properties because the decode happens in your tab, with a plain JavaScript decoder and no WebAssembly to fetch first. The cost of that choice is that your device's memory is the ceiling, and that the four excluded kinds of TIFF — BigTIFF, 32-bit scientific files, camera raw named .tif, and Photoshop layer stacks — are refused with a message rather than converted badly.

Tips

  • Quality 90 is the default because the difference from 100 is invisible on a scan or a photo while the file is far smaller. Below about 70 the artefacts start to show on text and skin.
  • Choose PNG when the TIFF has transparent areas — a JPG turns them white — or when you need a lossless copy. The slider does nothing for PNG.
  • A 1-bit black-and-white fax page converts fine, but JPG is a poor fit for hard-edged text. PNG usually looks cleaner and is often smaller for that kind of page.
  • If a portal still rejects your JPG for being too large, run it through the image compressor at /convert/image-compressor/ afterwards.
  • A multi-page TIFF at 600 dpi is the case most likely to exhaust memory on a phone. Convert those on a laptop, or split the batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this upload my TIFF files?

No. The TIFF is decoded by UTIF, a JavaScript decoder originally written for Photopea, running inside your browser tab. The pixels go onto a canvas and are re-encoded there. Open your browser's network panel before you drop a file and you will see no request carrying it.

Why does a website reject my TIFF when my computer opens it fine?

Windows and macOS both display TIFF, so viewing is never the issue. Sending is. Web upload forms, WhatsApp and most messaging apps, LinkedIn and the other social networks, and many CMS and e-commerce product uploads accept JPG, PNG, and WebP only. Email clients often show a blank attachment instead of the picture.

What happens to a multi-page TIFF?

Every page becomes its own image. A scanner or fax file with several pages gives you {stem}-p1.jpg, {stem}-p2.jpg, and so on, each listed under the file with its pixel size. A single-page TIFF keeps its own name as {stem}.jpg.

Which kinds of TIFF does it read?

Uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate (ZIP), CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 fax, and JPEG-compressed TIFF. Bit depths and colour models covered are 1-bit black and white, 8-bit and 16-bit grayscale and RGB, palette (indexed) colour, CMYK, and YCbCr. Strips and tiles both work, and little-endian and big-endian files both work. The orientation tag is not applied: a scan tagged as rotated comes out as it is stored, so rotate it afterwards if needed.

What will not convert here?

Four things, and they fail by design rather than by accident: BigTIFF, the 64-bit variant scanners rarely write; 32-bit floating-point and other scientific or HDR TIFFs; camera raw files that carry a .tif name, such as DNG; and the layers of a Photoshop TIFF — you get the flattened composite the file stores, not the layer stack.

Is my metadata preserved?

No. Conversion goes through a canvas, and a canvas carries no metadata at all, so EXIF, IPTC, XMP, the ICC profile, and any GPS location are dropped from the output. That cannot be switched off. Your original TIFF keeps everything, because it is never modified.

My TIFF has transparent areas. What happens to them?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas come out white. Open Options and choose PNG if you need to keep them.

Why do the colours of my CMYK TIFF look slightly different?

A CMYK TIFF is converted to RGB by the decoder without applying an ICC profile. The result is close but not colour-managed, so it can differ slightly from what Photoshop shows you on the same file.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no limit imposed by this page, because nothing is uploaded. Your device's memory is the practical ceiling. A multi-page TIFF scanned at 600 dpi is the case most likely to run out on a phone.

Does it cost anything or need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email, no watermark, and no cost.
