How much smaller will the JPG be?

TIFF files are the professional standard for scanned documents, medical imaging, satellite imagery, and publishing workflows. They preserve every pixel at full depth (often 16 bits per channel vs JPEG's 8 bits) and can be very large - A scanned A4 page at 600 DPI as TIFF is typically 50–150 MB. Converting to JPG reduces this to 1–5 MB for screen sharing and web use.

The conversion from TIFF to JPG is one of the most common tasks in professional photography workflows. Photographers shoot in RAW (or work in TIFF for editing), then export final deliverables as JPG for client sharing, social media, and web galleries. The JPG retains 8-bit colour depth (sufficient for display) at a fraction of the file size.

Multi-page TIFFs (used for multi-page scanned documents) require special handling. Each page can be extracted as a separate JPG, similar to converting a multi-page PDF. This is particularly common when digitising books, contracts, or historic documents that were scanned as a single TIFF file.

Reasons to convert TIFF to JPG usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

• An app or platform only accepts JPG uploads.
• You need a feature unique to JPG (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that TIFF doesn't provide.
• You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
• You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

1. Open the TIFF → JPG tool on jpg.now.
2. Drag your TIFF file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
3. The output is fixed to JPG. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

The entire flow is free for the first 10 jobs per day with no signup required. A free account doubles that quota; a premium plan removes the limit entirely.

• Use quality 90–95% when converting professional TIFF images to preserve maximum detail in the JPG export.
• For 16-bit TIFF files, be aware that the conversion to 8-bit JPG clips the extended tonal range - This is normal and expected when converting for web or screen use.
• If your TIFF file has multiple pages, each page is extracted as a separate numbered JPG.
