Convert TIFF to JPG — Free, Fast & Private
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the standard format for professional photography, scanning, and print production. TIFF files preserve maximum quality with lossless compression, but this comes at a cost — a single scanned page can be 20-100MB. Converting to JPEG reduces file size by 95% or more while keeping the image looking sharp for screen viewing and web use.
MiniPx converts TIFF to JPG directly in your browser. Unlike most online converters (Zamzar, iLoveIMG, Online-Convert) that upload your files to remote servers, MiniPx processes everything client-side. This matters for TIFF files, which often contain scanned legal documents, medical records, tax forms, insurance paperwork, and other sensitive material you should not upload to third-party servers.
TIFF files are common in professional workflows: office document scanners produce TIFF by default, architectural firms use TIFF for large-format plans, medical imaging systems export TIFF, and professional photographers shoot in RAW formats that convert to TIFF for editing. When you need to share these files via email, upload to web portals, or include in documents, converting to JPEG is the practical solution.
For scanned text documents, use the Gentle preset (quality 82%) to preserve text sharpness. For photographs and general images, the Smart preset (quality 65%) gives the best balance of quality and size. The Tiny preset works for situations where you need files under a specific size limit.
MiniPx supports batch processing — 5 TIFF files per batch on the free tier, with Pro removing that cap so an entire folder converts in one pass. Download individually or as a ZIP. Each file shows the before and after size.
Why TIFF files are so large
TIFF uses lossless compression (or no compression at all), preserving every pixel exactly as captured. A 300 DPI scan of an A4 page in colour produces a ~25MB TIFF. A professional photo at 6000x4000 pixels can be 70MB+ in TIFF. JPEG compresses this dramatically by discarding visual data the human eye cannot distinguish — the same photo becomes 1-3MB as a JPEG.
TIFF to JPG for sharing and uploading
Most email providers, web forms, and CMS platforms do not accept TIFF uploads. Gmail has a 25MB attachment limit. Job portals, insurance forms, and government websites typically require JPEG or PNG. Converting TIFF to JPEG makes your scanned documents compatible with every platform while reducing file size from megabytes to kilobytes.
