Short answer: To convert TIFF to JPG, drop the file above, choose JPG and click Convert. Only the first page of a multi-page TIFF is converted. JPG copies are far smaller and open in any program or website.
TIFF is the format of scanners, print workflows and professional photography, valued for accuracy and flexibility. It is also the format that most websites, email programs and phones cannot open. Converting a TIFF to JPG makes the picture easy to share, and this page does it in your browser so scans of documents and photographs never leave your device.
Why is TIFF awkward to share?
TIFF files are often large because they keep data that casual viewing does not need. Browsers cannot show most of them directly, many messaging apps reject them and email limits are quickly reached. A JPG copy opens everywhere and is typically a small fraction of the size, which suits sending a scan to a colleague or posting a picture online.
Multi-page TIFFs
Scanners often save several pages into one TIFF. This converter reads the first page only, because a JPG is a single picture. If you need every page, split the file first in a scanning program, then convert the pages one by one. This limitation is stated here so you know before you convert a long scan.
Unusual files and limits
TIFF is a flexible container, and a few rare variants, such as some specialised compression types, may not decode. If a file shows a damaged-file message, try exporting it again from the original program with common settings. Large scans work best on a computer, because decoding happens on your own device and phones have less memory. Keep the TIFF as your archive copy.
Scans and photo archives
For a folder of scans, start with one file to check the result at full size, especially the sharpness of small text and the colours. A quality of 90 or higher keeps documents readable. If a single scan is too large for your device, reduce its dimensions in the scanning program or convert it on a computer. Keep the TIFF files as your archive, since they are the highest quality version, and create JPG copies only for sharing or uploading. Use a rename pattern with a number to keep the pages of a document in order.
Questions people ask
Is only the first page of a multi-page TIFF converted?
Yes. A JPG holds one picture, so only the first page is converted.
Why does my TIFF say it looks damaged?
Some rare TIFF variants cannot be read. Exporting the picture again with standard settings usually fixes it.
Is my scan uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so scans never leave your device.
Why does my multi-page scan become a single picture?
ManyFormat converts only the first page of a multi-page TIFF and says so. To convert every page, save each page as its own TIFF from your scanning program first.
Should I throw away my TIFF scans after converting?
Keep them. TIFF is your full-quality archive, and the JPG copies are for sharing. You can always make new JPGs from the TIFF, but not the other way round.
