Every page of a multi-page scan becomes its own image. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. **Use this tool:** [TIFF to JPG](https://findutils.com/convert/tiff-to-jpg/) ## Programmatic access - Browser-only: this tool works on a file, the DOM, or a browser API and has no REST or MCP id. ## 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. ## 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. ## Related Tools - [HEIC to JPG](https://findutils.com/convert/heic-to-jpg/) - [AVIF to JPG](https://findutils.com/convert/avif-to-jpg/) - [Image Converter](https://findutils.com/convert/image-converter/) - [Image Compressor](https://findutils.com/convert/image-compressor/) - [Images to PDF](https://findutils.com/pdf/images-to-pdf/) - [Image Resizer](https://findutils.com/convert/image-resizer/)
