TIFF to JPG Converter

No browser can open a TIFF. This page carries a decoder, and handles multi-page files.

TIFF is the one common image format browsers genuinely cannot read, and that is an absence of support rather than a gap in it. This page loads a decoder only when you pick a file, then converts on your device with nothing uploaded.

Converts TIFF to JPG, PNG or WebP. Multi-page files get a page selector, so you can convert any page rather than only the first. The decoder is fetched only after you choose a file.

Why nothing opens your TIFF

Browsers decode JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. TIFF is not on that list and never has been. Dropping one into a browser window gives you a download prompt or a broken icon, and most web tools that claim to convert TIFF are uploading it to a server running ImageMagick.

The reason is that TIFF is less a format than a container. It can hold uncompressed data, LZW, PackBits, JPEG or CCITT fax compression, at any bit depth, in several colour models, with pages nested inside. Supporting it properly means supporting a dozen formats at once, so browsers never did.

Multi-page TIFFs, and why other converters lose your pages

TIFF is one of the few image formats that holds several pages in a single file, which is why scanners and fax software default to it. A scanned ten-page document is frequently one TIFF.

Most converters silently take page one and discard the rest, which is how people end up thinking nine pages vanished. When this page sees more than one, it shows a selector and converts whichever page you pick.

What conversion costs, stated plainly

TIFF is often chosen precisely because it can be lossless and carry 16 bits per channel. Converting to JPG gives up both, since JPG is lossy and 8-bit. For a scanned document that does not matter. For an archival photograph or a print master it does.

If the TIFF is a master you intend to keep, convert a copy and keep the original. If you need a lossless working file, pick PNG rather than JPG, though PNG is still 8 bits per channel.

Common questions

Is my file uploaded?
No. The decoder is a JavaScript library fetched from a CDN and run in your browser; the TIFF itself is read locally and never transmitted. That is the meaningful difference from most TIFF converters online, which upload to a server to do the work.
Why does it download something before converting?
That is the TIFF decoder, about 58 KB, fetched only after you choose a file rather than on every page load. Since browsers ship no TIFF support whatsoever, converting without a decoder is not possible.
My TIFF has several pages. Which one converts?
Whichever you pick. If the file holds more than one page a selector appears, and each page converts separately. Converters that take page one silently are the reason this page shows the count.
Will it handle CMYK or 16-bit TIFFs?
Usually. The decoder converts to 8-bit RGB, which is what JPG, PNG and WebP hold anyway. Colour can shift slightly on CMYK files, because a faithful conversion needs the original colour profile and screen formats are RGB regardless.
It says the TIFF could not be decoded.
Most likely an unusual compression variant, with JPEG-in-TIFF and some fax encodings the usual culprits, or a file that is a different format wearing a .tif extension. Re-saving it as a standard TIFF or PNG in any desktop viewer normally fixes it.
Can it convert TO TIFF?
No. Browsers cannot write TIFF, and offering it would mean handing you a PNG with a misleading extension. Only the three formats a browser genuinely encodes are offered here.
