TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) and JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)) are built for different jobs. TIFF is typically used for printing, scanning, archiving, while JPG is best for photos, social media, email attachments. Converting lets you open, share or upload your files wherever JPG is expected.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert TIFF to JPG?
Add your TIFF files above, make sure JPG is selected and press Convert. The JPG files are ready to download a few seconds later — no installation or account required.
Will converting TIFF to JPG reduce quality?
JPG uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Raise the quality slider to 100% for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG does not support transparency, so transparent pixels are filled with a background color — white by default. You can choose any color in Settings.
Is there a file size or daily limit?
No. Since everything runs locally, there are no daily caps, queues or file size limits beyond what your device can handle.
Are my TIFF files uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertMathly converts files entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your computer or phone, which makes it safe for private photos and documents.
Can I convert multiple TIFF files at once?
Yes — add as many files as you like. They are converted one after another and you can download everything in a single ZIP.
