Convert your JPEG images to TIFF format with just a few clicks ✨
Converting your JPEG images to TIFF format is straightforward:
The conversion process preserves your image's current quality and prepares it for professional use, printing, or long-term archiving with the benefits of the TIFF format's lossless compression.
The TIFF format was originally developed by Aldus Corporation in 1986 as a standard for desktop publishing, long before digital photography became mainstream. What's remarkable is that TIFF was designed with such foresight that it remains relevant over 35 years later. The format was revolutionary for introducing the concept of "tags" - metadata instructions that tell software how to interpret the file's content. This innovation allowed TIFF to evolve without breaking backward compatibility, supporting features its creators never imagined. When Aldus was acquired by Adobe in 1994, many feared TIFF would become proprietary, but Adobe made the unprecedented decision to place the format specifications in the public domain, ensuring its continued use across industries. Today, TIFF is still the gold standard for archival institutions worldwide, with the Library of Congress and National Archives using it to preserve digital versions of historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
When converting from JPEG to TIFF, a fascinating technical transformation occurs at the binary level. JPEG's lossy DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) compression has already discarded some data permanently, but TIFF's architecture offers unique preservation capabilities for the remaining information. Unlike most image formats that use a single compression method, TIFF supports multiple schemes within the same file specification, including LZW, ZIP, and even JPEG compression. The most powerful aspect of TIFF is its internal structure, which uses an innovative "Image File Directory" (IFD) system that can store multiple images and extensive metadata in a single file. This allows TIFF to support extraordinary bit depths up to 32-bits per channel (compared to JPEG's 8-bit limitation), enabling it to store over 4 billion distinct color values per pixel. For scientific and medical imaging, TIFF offers specialized extensions that can encode multidimensional data, such as time-series or z-stack microscopy images. Perhaps most impressively, TIFF's BigTIFF extension overcomes the original 4GB file size limitation, allowing files up to 18 exabytes - theoretically large enough to store a detailed image of every square meter of Earth's surface.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is one of the most common image formats used for photos and web graphics. It uses lossy compression, which reduces file size by selectively discarding data. JPEG is ideal for photographs and complex images with many colors, and is supported by virtually all devices, browsers, and applications.
While JPEG is widely used for web and general purposes, TIFF offers lossless compression and better quality preservation. Converting to TIFF is ideal for professional photography, printing, archiving, and when you need to maintain the highest possible image quality without compression artifacts.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format that supports lossless compression. It's widely used in professional photography, publishing, and archiving where image quality is paramount. TIFF files can maintain all original image data without quality loss, making them ideal for editing and printing.
Yes, you can upload JPEG images up to 10MB in size. For larger files, we recommend compressing them first or using our image compression tool.
Converting from JPEG to TIFF won't improve the quality of an already compressed JPEG, but it will preserve the current quality and prevent further quality loss in subsequent edits. TIFF is a lossless format, so no additional quality will be lost during the conversion process.
Most conversions are completed within seconds. The exact time depends on the file size and the server load.
Yes, we take data security seriously. Your images are processed on our secure servers and are automatically deleted after conversion. We don't store your images permanently.
TIFF offers lossless compression, meaning no image data is lost during saving. It supports layers, multiple pages, and various color spaces including CMYK for printing. TIFF is the preferred format for professional photography, printing, and archiving where maintaining the highest image quality is essential.
