About formats

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible raster image format originally developed by Aldus Corporation (later acquired by Adobe) in October 1986 for desktop publishing and scanning applications. The format uses a tagged data structure where the image file header points to one or more Image File Directories (IFDs), each containing a set of tags that describe the image's dimensions, color space, compression, resolution, and other properties. This extensible architecture means TIFF can accommodate virtually any image type: 1-bit bilevel, grayscale, indexed color, RGB, CMYK, CIE L*a*b*, and beyond, at any bit depth from 1 to 64 bits per sample. TIFF supports multiple compression methods including none (uncompressed), LZW, DEFLATE, JPEG, and CCITT Group 3/4 fax compression, as well as multi-page documents, tiled storage for efficient random access to large images, and floating-point pixel values for HDR content. One advantage is professional-grade flexibility — TIFF handles the full range of image types encountered in publishing, prepress, medical imaging, geospatial analysis, and scientific research, where specialized color spaces and high bit depths are required. Lossless archival quality is another core strength: TIFF with no compression or LZW/DEFLATE preserves every pixel value exactly, making it the standard archival format for libraries, museums, and any institution that requires guaranteed long-term image fidelity. TIFF is supported by every major image editing, scanning, and publishing application across all platforms.

Initial release: October 1986
JPG is the most common file extension for images compressed with the JPEG standard, published by the Joint Photographic Experts Group as ISO/IEC 10918-1 in September 1992. The three-letter .jpg extension became dominant due to the 8.3 filename limitation of MS-DOS and early Windows, while .jpeg is the full-length variant — both extensions represent identical file contents and compression. JPEG applies lossy compression using the discrete cosine transform (DCT), dividing images into 8x8 pixel blocks, transforming them into frequency coefficients, quantizing to discard visually insignificant data, and entropy-coding the result. Users control the compression level: higher quality retains more detail at larger file sizes, while lower quality achieves dramatic size reduction with increasing visible artifacts in complex textures. The format supports 24-bit true color (16.7 million colors) and 8-bit grayscale, with Exif metadata embedding camera model, exposure settings, orientation, GPS location, and creation timestamp. One advantage is unmatched device compatibility — JPG is the native output format of virtually every digital camera and smartphone, and is displayed by every image viewer, browser, and operating system in existence. Efficient photographic compression is another strength: real-world photographs with smooth gradients and complex textures compress extremely well under DCT, typically achieving 10:1 reduction at high visual quality. JPG images power the vast majority of photographic content across the web, email, social media, and digital archives worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert TIFF to JPG?

JPG compression reduces TIFF scans and photos from tens of megabytes to a fraction of the size, making them practical for email, web, and mobile viewing.

What programs open JPG?

Every image viewer, web browser, and photo editor handles JPG natively — Windows Photos, macOS Preview, GIMP, Photoshop, and all smartphone galleries.

How much smaller is JPG than TIFF?

JPG files are typically 10-50x smaller than uncompressed TIFF. A 50MB TIFF scan might compress to 2-5MB as a high-quality JPG.

Is my TIFF file safe during conversion?

Uploaded TIFF files are deleted immediately after conversion. JPG output files are removed from servers within 24 hours for your privacy.

Can I batch convert TIFF to JPG?

Upload multiple TIFF files at once and convert them all to JPG in one session — no need to process files one at a time.

Is TIFF to JPG conversion free?

Standard conversions are free with Convertio. Premium plans offer faster processing and support for larger files.
