Why Use This Tool?
TIFF is the workhorse of print shops and scanners. It keeps every last detail, which is exactly why a single page can weigh hundreds of megabytes. Great for the printer, terrible for email, chat apps, and quick slides. This tool converts that heavyweight into a clean JPG in seconds.
The decoder loads once when you open the page, then everything runs locally. Your scan never leaves your computer, which matters when the file is a signed contract or a medical form. Multi-page TIFFs convert the first page — save the rest from your scanner as separate files if you need them all.
How It Works
- Drop your TIFF file. Drag it in or click to browse — big scans are welcome.
- Pick your quality. Around 90 keeps photos crisp; drop lower only for drafts.
- Download the JPG. A preview thumbnail appears below so you can check it first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my TIFF file so huge?
TIFF is usually uncompressed, and scanners often save at very high resolution. All that data is great for printing and painful for everything else. A JPG trims it down dramatically.
Does converting to JPG lose quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, so a tiny amount of detail is traded away. At 90% quality the difference is essentially invisible, and the file gets far easier to share.
Do you convert every page of a multi-page TIFF?
No — the first page only. If your scanner saved several pages in one file, export them as separate TIFFs and convert each one.
Tips & Things to Watch
- Use quality 90 or higher for print scans you'll archive.
- Rename big scans before converting so the JPG lands with a clean name.
- Keep the original TIFF as your master copy for future reprints.
