Why convert JPG to TIFF?
Switching from JPG helps you avoid lossy compression introduces artifacts, especially around sharp lines or text. TIFF excels at high-precision storage with optional lossless compression for archival use, making it a better fit when clients or platforms expect archiving master images from scanners and dslrs.
Tagged Image File Format also offers supports multi-page documents, layers, and embedded color profiles. That means your converted files stay useful for archiving master images from scanners and dslrs and prepress workflows requiring cmyk or spot color management.
JPG strengths
- Excellent compression for photographs and gradients with modest file sizes
- Universal support across browsers, devices, email clients, and CMS platforms
- Embedded EXIF metadata for camera settings, orientation, and color profiles
TIFF advantages
- High-precision storage with optional lossless compression for archival use
- Supports multi-page documents, layers, and embedded color profiles
- Compatible with CMYK workflows and professional printers
Key differences
| Feature | JPG | TIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossy or lossless |
| Transparency / Alpha | No transparency support | Supports alpha channel |
| Typical file size | Compact (lossy compression) | Varies (depends on chosen codec) |
| Best suited for | Web-ready photos, product imagery, and marketing assets and Email attachments where bandwidth matters | Archiving master images from scanners and DSLRs and Prepress workflows requiring CMYK or spot color management |
| Standard | Open, royalty-free specification | Open, royalty-free specification |
Before you convert
- Keep a backup of your original file before converting so you can roll back if needed.
- Review known pain points: No support for transparency or alpha channels, limiting design flexibility. Adjust your source file accordingly.
Quality tips
- Use the resize controls to match the pixel dimensions your project actually needs.
- Preview the background fill—set it to white, black, or brand colors so transparent elements look intentional.
- Download the result immediately and open it in the target application to verify everything matches expectations.
Where TIFF fits best
Once you have the converted file, you can plug it straight into archiving master images from scanners and dslrs, prepress workflows requiring cmyk or spot color management, and scientific imaging that demands high bit-depth fidelity. TIFF is the format teams expect in those environments, so you spend less time re-exporting or explaining compatibility issues.
Common TIFF use cases
- Archiving master images from scanners and DSLRs
- Prepress workflows requiring CMYK or spot color management
- Scientific imaging that demands high bit-depth fidelity
Tools that open TIFF
- Adobe Photoshop
- Capture One
- ImageMagick
Frequently asked questions
Does converting JPG to TIFF reduce quality?
No—TIFF preserves the original fidelity. You still want to open the converted file once to confirm fonts, colors, or audio loudness survived the transfer.
Can I add transparency during the JPG to TIFF conversion?
TIFF supports alpha channels. After converting, open the file in an editor such as Adobe Photoshop and remove any backgrounds you no longer need.
Is there a file size limit for converting JPG?
Yes—uploads up to 150 MB convert reliably in the browser. For larger assets, split them into smaller segments first so the process stays responsive.
