Web-tool results are kept 10 minutes; free API results 1 day; Starter and Pro results 7 days; Business 30 days. The web tool allows 10 conversions per minute and 50 per day per visitor.
In one sentence
A free online tool that converts a TIFF to a JPG using only page 1, with a quality setting, a background colour for transparent areas and an optional smaller size.
Key facts
- Input: TIFF (.tif or .tiff, classic TIFF including CMYK and 16-bit), PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP, up to 5 MB in the free tool and 10 MB when signed in, and up to 16 MP (4096 x 4096); BigTIFF, Canon CR2, DNG, camera RAW, HEIC, SVG and PDF files are not accepted.
- Only page 1 of a multi-page TIFF is converted and the panel says how many pages the file had; the result is 8-bit sRGB, there is no preview for TIFF files, and JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background colour (white by default).
- In our test a generated 1600 x 1200 px LZW-compressed TIFF of 3.6 MB became a 237 KB JPG at quality 80; the test pictures were generated by our scripts.
- The upload is deleted when the job ends and the result after 10 minutes; signed-in users pay 1 credit per image.
- Free without an account: up to 10 conversions per minute and 50 per day per visitor, no watermark. Signed in, each render costs 1 credit (100 free credits every month).
- Files are deleted automatically: 10 minutes after conversion without an account, 1 day with a free account.
- Developers can run the same render with POST https://api.aiipworld.com/v1/render and an API key (see the API docs page).
How it works
- Select your TIFF file (.tif or .tiff) with the upload button.
- Keep "Convert to" set to JPEG, or pick PNG or WebP if you need one of those instead.
- Set the quality from 1 to 100. The default is 80.
- Choose the background colour if your TIFF has transparency. The default is white #ffffff.
- Click Convert TIFF to JPG and download the result when it is ready.
Example output
How to convert TIFF to JPG
Converting a TIFF to JPG takes a few steps. Pick your file, check the settings, and run the conversion. The result is a JPEG file you can download and use anywhere a JPG is accepted.
Start with the default settings if you are not sure. Change the quality only if you need a smaller file or a sharper result.
- Use a .tif or .tiff file.
- Keep the default JPEG output unless you need PNG or WebP.
What TIFF to JPG conversion does
A TIFF to JPG conversion reads the TIFF picture and writes it as a JPEG file. This tool uses the same converter as our other converters, with JPEG set as the target. The decoder is libtiff.
The result is always 8-bit sRGB. The pixel size stays the same unless you set an optional size to make the picture smaller. The tool never enlarges the image.
JPEG is a lossy format. Each save removes some detail, so the JPG will not match the TIFF exactly. Results vary with the picture.
Multi-page TIFF: only page 1
Only page 1 of a multi-page TIFF is converted. The other pages are dropped from the result. The result panel says "Only page 1 of N was converted", where N is the number of pages in the file.
In testing, a 3-page TIFF came out as one JPG made from page 1, and the panel reported 3 pages. If you need the other pages, split the TIFF into single-page files first, then convert each one.
Which TIFF files work and which do not
The converter reads classic TIFF files. It accepts classic TIFF with LZW, Deflate, JPEG or no compression. It also accepts tiled or striped files, little-endian and big-endian files, and TIFF with an alpha channel.
Some files are not accepted. BigTIFF files are refused. Canon CR2 and DNG files are also refused, because they are TIFF-based but contain only an embedded thumbnail. Camera RAW files in general are not supported.
No preview for TIFF files
The browser cannot show a TIFF, so this tool shows no preview for TIFF files. You will not see the picture before you convert it.
The tool still checks the file size and the pixel count from the TIFF header before upload. The page tells you the file is checked when you convert. Check the result panel and your downloaded JPG to confirm the output looks right.
CMYK and 16-bit TIFF files
CMYK TIFF files are accepted. In testing, a 5.7 MB CMYK TIFF came out as a normal RGB JPG. The colours are converted to sRGB, so check the result for your use.
16-bit TIFF files are also accepted. In testing, a 16-bit TIFF converted without error. The output is always 8-bit.
Choosing the JPG quality
The quality setting runs from 1 to 100. The default is 80. Higher values keep more detail and make a larger file. Lower values make a smaller file and remove more detail.
Start at 80 and compare the result with the original. If the file is still too large, lower the quality a few steps at a time. Results vary with the picture.
TIFF to JPG: file size
TIFF files can be large, and the size of the JPG depends on the picture.
In our test, a generated 1600 x 1200 photograph gave these results:
Results vary with the picture. A result larger than 20 MB fails with an "output too large" message instead of returning a cut-off file.
- An LZW-compressed TIFF of 3.6 MB (3,731 KB) became a 237 KB JPG at quality 80.
- The same picture as an uncompressed TIFF of 5.5 MB (5,625 KB) also became a 237 KB JPG.
TIFF to JPG or TIFF to PNG
Choose JPG when you need a small file for photos or web use. JPEG is lossy and has no transparency. Choose PNG when you need a lossless file or transparency. You can pick PNG in the "Convert to" list, so this tool also works as a TIFF to PNG converter.
In our test, the same 1600 x 1200 photograph as PNG came out at 4.8 MB (4,931 KB). That is much larger than the 237 KB JPG, so pick the format that fits your use.
Transparency in a TIFF
JPEG has no transparency. Any transparent area in a TIFF is filled with the background colour, which is white by default. You can change the background colour before you convert.
If you need transparency, choose PNG in the "Convert to" list. PNG keeps the alpha channel. In testing, a transparent 1024 x 1024 TIFF of 39 KB became a 25 KB JPG with white fill, or a 37 KB PNG that kept transparency.
Which files the converter accepts
The converter accepts PNG, JPG (including .jpeg and .jfif), WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP and TIFF files. It does not accept SVG, PDF, HEIC/HEIF, BigTIFF or camera RAW files.
The free web tool accepts up to 5 MB per image. Signed-in users can convert up to 10 MB per image. The pixel limit is 16 MP (4096 x 4096) per image. Each visitor without an account can convert 30 images per day.
Signed-in users pay 1 credit per image, plus 1 credit for each 5 MB of result after the first 5 MB. The result is limited to 20 MB. Anonymous use needs a quick human check before the conversion starts.
TIFF to JPG from code and privacy
You can also convert TIFF to JPG from code with the API. Send the raw TIFF bytes as the request body, with a Content-Type such as image/tiff. Set op to image_convert and format to jpeg. Settings such as quality go in the query string, and unknown names are rejected.
The API returns a job ID. Check the job until it succeeds or fails, then download the result from the short-lived link. The page shows a ready cURL, Node and Python example below the tool.
Your image is sent to our server and is used only to make the result. It is deleted as soon as the job ends, whether it succeeds or fails. The result is deleted after 10 minutes in the free web tool, and no history is kept.
Questions
Can I convert TIFF to JPG for free?
Yes, this TIFF to JPG tool is free and needs no signup for anonymous use.
Is TIFF to JPEG the same as TIFF to JPG?
Yes. JPG and JPEG are the same format, so a tif to jpeg conversion gives the same file, and the one you download ends in .jpg.
Is a .tif file the same as .tiff?
Yes. A .tif file and a .tiff file are the same format, so tif to jpg and tiff to jpg work the same way here.
What happens to a multi-page TIFF?
Only page 1 is converted, and the other pages are dropped from the result.
Can I convert all pages?
Not in one step. Split the TIFF into single-page files first, then convert each file.
Why can I not see a preview of my TIFF?
The browser cannot show TIFF pictures, so the tool shows no preview for TIFF files.
Does it accept BigTIFF or RAW files?
No. BigTIFF, Canon CR2 and DNG files are refused, and camera RAW files are not supported.
What happens to a CMYK TIFF?
It converts to a normal RGB JPG, in our test with a 5.7 MB file.
Is TIFF to JPG lossless?
No. JPEG is lossy, so some detail is removed. Choose PNG if you need a lossless file.
What quality should I use?
Start with the default of 80, then lower it if you need a smaller file. Results vary with the picture.
What happens to transparency?
JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour, white by default.
How long is my file kept?
The result is deleted after 10 minutes in the free web tool, and your uploaded image is deleted when the job ends.
Can I convert TIFF to JPG in code?
Yes. Use the API with op set to image_convert and format set to jpeg, and send the raw image bytes.
Need this in your app or in bulk?
This tool runs on the same platform as the API, so the same image is one HTTP request from your code. A free account includes 100 credits a month.
