JPG to TIFF: what changes and when it makes sense

JPG is a Joint Photographic Experts Group format. It is best known for small files for photographs and near-universal compatibility. The main drawbacks are no transparency, visible blocking at low quality, and quality that drops every re-save.

TIFF is a Tagged Image File Format. It is best known for archival quality, high bit depth and CMYK support. The main drawbacks are large files and no display support in most browsers.

JPG vs TIFF at a glance

Property	JPG	TIFF
Type	Raster image	Container format
Compression	Lossy (DCT based, with chroma subsampling)	Flexible: uncompressed, lossless (LZW or ZIP) or JPEG-compressed
Transparency	None	Full alpha channel with soft edges
Animation	No	No
Colour depth	8 bits per channel (24-bit colour)	8, 16 or 32 bits per channel, with CMYK, layers and multiple pages
Support	Opens in every browser, operating system, camera, editor and print service	Supported by professional editors, scanners and print workflows. Safari is the only major browser that displays it
History	Created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and standardised as ISO/IEC 10918. It became the default image format of the early web because it offered photographic compression when storage was expensive. Still the most widely used photo format 30+ years later.	Created by Aldus (later Adobe) in 1986 for desktop publishing and scanning. Owned by Adobe since 1994. Remains the professional standard for print, archival imaging and medical imaging.

What actually changes in this conversion

Moving from a lossy format to a lossless one stops any further quality loss but cannot restore detail already discarded.
JPG has no alpha channel, so every pixel is already opaque.
Expect the TIFF file to be far larger than the JPG source.
Browser-based conversion works in 8-bit sRGB. Wide-gamut, 10-bit and 16-bit data are reduced. For colour-critical work, keep the original.
EXIF, GPS and camera data are stripped on every conversion. That is good for privacy, but you lose capture dates.

About JPG: history and technical details

Created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and standardised as ISO/IEC 10918. It became the default image format of the early web because it offered photographic compression when storage was expensive. Still the most widely used photo format 30+ years later.

Technical: 8x8 block Discrete Cosine Transform with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling by default. Baseline supports 8-bit per channel. Progressive loads in waves. Maximum dimensions 65,535 by 65,535 pixels. Maximum 16.7 million colours.

Real-world size: A 12-megapixel photo at quality 85 is typically 2-4 MB. The same photo as PNG is 18-25 MB, as BMP is 36 MB. JPG is 60-80% smaller than PNG for photographs.

Popular tools: Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, Lightroom, macOS Preview, Windows Photos, ImageMagick, FFmpeg.

Alternatives: WebP (25-35% smaller), AVIF (30-50% smaller), HEIC (50% smaller, Apple only), PNG (lossless, 5-10x larger).

About TIFF: what you get

Created by Aldus (later Adobe) in 1986 for desktop publishing and scanning. Owned by Adobe since 1994. Remains the professional standard for print, archival imaging and medical imaging.

Technical: Tag-based file structure with IFD (Image File Directory) entries. Supports CMYK, Lab, RGB, grayscale, bilevel. 8, 16, 32-bit depth. Multiple pages. Layers via extensions. Compression: none, LZW, ZIP, JPEG, PackBits.

Real-world size: A 300 DPI A4 scan is 25-50 MB as uncompressed TIFF. Same as PNG: 10-20 MB. As JPG at quality 90: 3-8 MB but with loss. Print workflows use TIFF because quality is preserved and CMYK is supported.

Popular tools: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, GIMP, ImageMagick, Capture One, Vuescan, SilverFast.

Alternatives: PNG (8-bit only, no CMYK), JPEG XL (future format), PSD (Photoshop native), PDF (for sharing).

Browser and software compatibility

JPG: Opens in every browser, operating system, camera, editor and print service. TIFF: Supported by professional editors, scanners and print workflows. Safari is the only major browser that displays it.

Browsers other than Safari will not display TIFF. Use it for print, scanning and archiving.

Why people move away from JPG

JPG cannot store transparency, so logos, cut-outs and interface assets need another format.
Every re-save of a JPG throws away more detail, a problem for images edited repeatedly.
Sharp edges and text show ringing artefacts in JPG, and newer codecs give smaller files at the same visual quality.

Why people choose TIFF

Print shops, publishers and archives often ask for TIFF as a lossless master.
TIFF can hold 16-bit data, CMYK and multiple pages, which suits scans and professional workflows.
Lossless storage means no generational loss across repeated edits.

Common mistakes with JPG

Re-saving a JPG multiple times compounds quality loss — always keep the original
Using JPG for logos with text causes visible ringing around letters
Setting quality above 95 rarely improves visual quality but enlarges files

Best practices for keeping quality

If you still have the original camera file, convert from that. A JPG already compressed hard has little detail left to preserve.
A browser conversion produces 8-bit RGB. If your printer asks for CMYK or 16-bit TIFF, you will need desktop software.
Expect large files, and check any upload limit before saving.
Resize before converting if the image will be shown small. A 4000 pixel photo displayed at 800 pixels wastes bytes in any format.
Check the result at 100 percent zoom, especially around text, edges and gradients, before you replace any originals.
Keep your original files. Conversions to a lossy format cannot be undone.
When you convert a set of images, use the same quality setting for the whole batch. The converter handles up to 20 files at once.

JPG to TIFF questions

Quick answers about privacy, quality, supported formats, file limits and how TIFF works.

Why convert JPG to TIFF?

TIFF is lossless. It keeps every pixel exactly. It is the safe choice when you plan to edit, print or need exact pixel data.

Will converting JPG to TIFF lose quality?

No. TIFF is lossless, so nothing is thrown away.

Does TIFF keep transparency?

Yes. TIFF supports full transparency, so transparent areas in your original are kept.

Are my files uploaded?

Never. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device. Open DevTools Network tab while processing — you will see no upload request.

Can I convert many files at once?

Yes, up to 20 files at once. Download them individually or all together as a ZIP.

Does the converter strip metadata?

Yes. Browsers do not pass EXIF data through a canvas, so GPS, camera model and dates are removed on every conversion. That is good for privacy.

Is it free?

Yes. No credits, no daily cap, no account, no watermark. The practical limit is your device memory.

Is TIFF always lossless?

No. TIFF is a container that can hold uncompressed, LZW/ZIP lossless, or JPEG-compressed (lossy) image data. Most print workflows use lossless TIFF, but lossy TIFFs exist.

Can browsers display TIFF?

Only Safari. Chrome, Firefox and Edge do not natively render TIFF files. This is why TIFF is unsuitable for web pages and must be converted to PNG, JPG or WebP for web use.

Your files never leave your device

No upload, no account, no tracking. Everything happens in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. You can confirm this in your browser's DevTools Network tab while the tool runs — no request carries your file. See why ToolDeck is different.
