Quick answer: To convert TIFF to JPG, add the TIFF file to the iHateFiles TIFF to JPG converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. TIFF carries transparency and JPG cannot, so transparent areas are filled with a background colour you choose.
Should you convert TIFF to JPG?
Do this for photographs, where JPG saves a great deal of space for a difference almost nobody can see. Keep the TIFF if the image is a screenshot, a logo, or anything with text or hard edges in it.
TIFF keeps everything, JPG does not
TIFF stores the image exactly. JPG discards detail to save space, and the quality setting on this page decides how much. This is the right trade for photographs and the wrong one for screenshots and line art, where TIFF edges stay crisp and JPG smudges them.
JPG cannot hold transparency
Any transparent area in the TIFF has to become a real colour, because JPG has no alpha channel to record it. The background colour on this page is what those areas become. White suits most uses; pick the colour of the page it will sit on if you know it, because this cannot be undone afterwards.
Expect a much smaller file
A TIFF of a photograph is routinely several times the size of the same picture as JPG. That saving is the reason to do this, and on a photograph it costs very little that anyone will notice.

What usually goes wrong
About the TIFF. Because TIFF can contain many different compressions, a file that one program writes is occasionally one another program cannot read. Converting it to PNG settles the argument.
About the JPG. Re-saving a JPG repeatedly degrades it every time, because it re-encodes from the already damaged version. Edit from the original, and export to JPG once at the end.
How to convert TIFF to JPG
- Add your TIFF file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to JPG.
- Press convert and the JPG file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert TIFF to JPG?
Open this page, add your TIFF file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this TIFF to JPG converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to JPG lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded. The quality control on this page decides how much. The default is set high enough that most people cannot see the difference.
Can I convert several TIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
