Free Online TIFF Converter — Convert TIFF to JPG, PNG Instantly
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality image format widely used in professional photography, print publishing, scanning, and document archiving. While TIFF delivers exceptional image quality with lossless compression, the format produces very large files and isn't supported by web browsers or many common applications. Our free TIFF converter lets you convert TIFF files to universally compatible JPG or PNG format instantly.
Why Convert TIFF Files?
TIFF files are often enormous — a single uncompressed TIFF image can easily be 50MB or more. This makes them impractical for email attachments, web uploads, social media sharing, or viewing on mobile devices. Additionally, most web browsers cannot display TIFF images directly, and many basic image viewers on Windows and mobile devices struggle with the format. Converting to JPG or PNG solves all these compatibility issues while maintaining good visual quality.
How Our TIFF Converter Works
Our converter uses the UTIF.js library to decode TIFF files entirely within your browser. UTIF.js parses the TIFF container format, decompresses the image data (supporting LZW, ZIP, PackBits, and other compression methods), and produces raw pixel data. This pixel data is then rendered to an HTML5 Canvas, which exports the result as JPG or PNG. Your TIFF files are never uploaded to any server — everything happens locally on your device.
Multi-Page TIFF Support
TIFF is unique among image formats in supporting multiple pages within a single file. This is commonly used for scanned documents, faxes, and multi-page artwork. Our converter detects multi-page TIFF files and lets you navigate between pages, converting each page individually to your chosen output format.
When to Choose JPG vs PNG
JPG: Best for photographs and scanned images where smaller file size is important. JPG uses lossy compression but produces dramatically smaller files. Ideal for sharing, uploading, and emailing.
PNG: Best when you need pixel-perfect quality or transparency. PNG is lossless, preserving every detail of the original. Choose PNG for documents, diagrams, screenshots, or archival purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TIFF file?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality image format used in professional photography, print publishing, and document scanning. It supports lossless compression, multiple pages, and various color depths, but produces very large files.
Why are TIFF files so large?
TIFF typically uses lossless or no compression, preserving every pixel exactly. A 4000×3000 photo in TIFF can be 30-50MB, while the same image in JPG might be 2-5MB. This quality comes at the cost of file size.
Does converting TIFF to JPG lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so there is some quality reduction. However, at 90-95% quality, the difference is usually invisible to the human eye while reducing file size by 90% or more.
Can I convert multi-page TIFF files?
Yes! Our converter detects multi-page TIFF files and provides navigation controls to browse and convert each page individually.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All decoding and conversion happens in your browser using the UTIF.js library. Your files never leave your device.
What TIFF compression types are supported?
Our converter supports uncompressed TIFF as well as LZW, ZIP/Deflate, PackBits, and other common TIFF compression methods.
Can I convert TIFF to PNG for printing?
Yes, PNG is lossless so no quality is lost. However, for professional printing, you may want to keep the original TIFF. PNG is great for web use, documents, and general sharing.
