Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF to JPG is the classic archive-to-share conversion. A typical scanned-document TIFF or editor-export TIFF sits at tens of megabytes; the same content as a JPG is often under a megabyte. That size collapse — 10-100x smaller is common — makes the file fit into email, social posts, CMS uploads, and bandwidth-constrained contexts where the TIFF source was impractical. The trade-off is the one-way loss inherent to JPG compression. If you plan to re-edit the image heavily, keep the TIFF source and convert a fresh copy each time rather than round-tripping JPGs. Multi-page TIFFs collapse to the first page. Transparent regions flatten onto a white background.
Dramatic size reduction
Typical TIFF-to-JPG conversions produce files 10-100x smaller than the source. That's the difference between an attachment that fails email limits and one that slides through without comment.
Universal compatibility
JPG opens in every tool, every email client, every browser, and every operating system. It's the safe handoff format when you don't know what the recipient will use to view the file.
Photo-tuned compression
Scanned photographs and editor-exported photographic content compress efficiently as JPG — the codec is specifically designed for continuous-tone imagery.
When TIFF to JPG is the right call
JPG is the go-to when you're sharing, not storing.
Archive content being sent via email or social channels.
Scanned documents that need to fit into form-upload size limits.
Internal handoffs where recipients don't have TIFF-capable tools.
Don't use JPG for pre-press workflows — stay on TIFF until the print submission.

What you get
Every conversion here runs on a temporary copy, delivers a ready download, and clears out quickly after you’re done.
- 10-100x smaller than the TIFF source for typical archive and photographic content.
- JPG quality 85 default — the widely-accepted size/quality sweet spot.
- CMYK TIFFs automatically converted to RGB.
- Conversion runs on a temporary copy that we delete right after processing.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will the JPG be?
Typical TIFF-to-JPG conversions produce files 10-100x smaller than the source. Exact ratio depends on content: photographic TIFFs compress very efficiently as JPG, while graphics-heavy TIFFs see smaller relative savings. A 50 MB scan TIFF commonly becomes a 500 KB to 2 MB JPG.
What happens to multi-page TIFFs?
Only the first page is converted. TIFF's multi-page container isn't representable in JPG, so subsequent pages are skipped. For multi-page TIFF (scanned documents), use a dedicated tool to extract each page and convert individually, or convert to PDF instead.
Is there quality loss?
Yes — JPG is lossy. For archive scans and photographic content, the loss at quality 85 is imperceptible at normal viewing. For text-heavy scans or crisp line art, you may see compression artifacts around letter edges; in that case use PNG or WebP instead.
What about CMYK TIFFs?
Sharp automatically converts CMYK input to RGB during encoding — JPG is RGB-only in standard form. The color conversion uses a generic ICC profile; for print-accurate color management, stay on TIFF through the entire workflow.
Does EXIF metadata transfer?
Sharp preserves EXIF blocks by default. Fields present in the TIFF (IFD0, Exif IFD, GPS IFD) carry over to the JPG. For a metadata-free JPG, run the result through our /remove/jpg tool.
