About the TIFF Converter
TIFF Converter opens TIFF and TIF files in your browser and saves them as JPG, PNG or WebP, and it can also write a TIFF from a PNG, JPG or WebP picture. A TIFF with several pages, such as a scan, becomes one output file per page, and many outputs can be downloaded together as a ZIP. It handles common TIFFs: uncompressed, LZW, PackBits and Deflate. It does not read BigTIFF, JPEG-in-TIFF or fax compression, and it does not manage CMYK colour, layers or GeoTIFF data. Your files stay on your device.

What TIFF files are for
TIFF is a container that scanners, cameras, publishers and archives use because it can store pixels with little or no loss and can hold several pages in one file. That flexibility is also why web browsers and messaging apps often refuse to show it.
A converter bridges the gap: it reads the pixels from the TIFF and saves them in a format that email, websites and phones understand. The TIFF itself is left alone.
TIFF to JPG or PNG: which to pick
Choose JPG for photographs and for small files that are easy to email. Choose PNG for scanned text, diagrams and screenshots where sharp edges matter, or when you plan to edit and save the picture again. WebP gives small files in modern apps, though some older programs cannot open it.
- JPG: smallest files, some detail lost, no transparency.
- PNG: exact pixels, larger files, keeps transparency.
- WebP: small files, good for websites, less universal in older software.
Multi-page TIFFs and scans
Fax and document scanners often write every page into one TIFF. This tool decodes each page in turn and saves it separately, so a ten-page scan becomes ten numbered files in a ZIP. Very large multi-page files can exceed the memory a browser is willing to use, so the tool stops with a message when the pixels would need more than 400 MB.
Some scanners compress pages with fax (CCITT) or JPEG-in-TIFF methods. Those are not supported here; re-save the file from your scanning software as a standard TIFF or PNG first.
Making a TIFF from a picture
Choose TIFF in Convert to and add a PNG, JPG or WebP. The tool writes an uncompressed TIFF with the same pixels, so expect a much larger file than the source. That is normal for TIFF and is what some print workflows and old software expect.
For everyday sharing, Image Converter covers JPG, PNG and WebP, Compress Image makes files smaller, and PNG to JPG is a quick route when you only need a small photo file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I open a TIFF file?
Many browsers and phones cannot show TIFF files. Drop the file here and convert it to JPG or PNG, which nearly everything can open. The original TIFF is not changed, and the converted copy downloads to your device.
Can I convert a multi-page TIFF?
Yes. Every page becomes its own file, named like scan-page-1.jpg and scan-page-2.jpg. When there is more than one output you can download them all in one ZIP instead of clicking each file.
Why is my TIFF so big?
TIFF often stores pixels with little or no compression to keep every detail, so a scan can weigh tens of megabytes. Converting to JPG shrinks it a lot, at the cost of some fine detail. PNG is smaller than an uncompressed TIFF and loses nothing.
Does converting to JPG lose quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so a little detail is discarded. At the default quality of 90 the change is hard to see in photos, but sharp text and line art can show faint fringes. Choose PNG when you need an exact copy of the pixels.
Is it safe to convert scans here?
The file is read and converted by code running in your own browser tab, and no copy is sent anywhere. That makes it suitable for documents such as ID scans or contracts, though you should still keep your device secure.
How do I turn a TIFF into a PDF?
Convert the TIFF to JPG here, one file per page, then combine those JPGs with JPG to PDF. Keep the page numbers in the file names so the pages stay in order.
