About converting TIFF to JPG
TIFF (.tiff) files can be converted to JPG entirely in your browser — no software to install, no file upload, and no account required. The conversion runs on a WebAssembly build of ffmpeg directly on your device.
Technical comparison
| TIFF | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | image | image |
| Compression type | Lossless (or uncompressed) | Lossy (DCT-based) |
| Typical file size | Large — high bit depth and often lossless compression | Small — a fraction of an equivalent PNG for photographic content |
| Transparency support | Yes | No |
How to convert TIFF to JPG privately
Every step below runs on a WebAssembly build of ffmpeg inside this browser tab. Your .tiff file is never uploaded to a server — there's no network request carrying it anywhere.
Add your TIFF file
Drag and drop, or click to select, a file (.tiff). It's read straight from disk into browser memory — no upload step exists.
Convert locally
FreePrivateConvert converts it to JPG using a WebAssembly build of ffmpeg, entirely within this browser tab.
Download the result
Save your converted .jpg file. It only ever existed in this tab's memory — closing the tab without downloading discards it completely.
Convert TIFF to JPG with ffmpeg (command line)
Prefer the terminal? This is the exact ffmpeg command this page runs for you:
ffmpeg -i input.tiff -q:v 3 output.jpg- -i input.tiff
- Your TIFF file.
- -q:v 3
- JPEG quality 3 on a 2-31 scale (lower is better; 2-3 is visually lossless).
- output.jpg
- The JPG file to create. ffmpeg picks the container from this extension.
Don't have ffmpeg installed? You don't need it: use the converter at the top of this page. It runs the same conversion on your own device, and your file is never uploaded.
FAQ
- Is my file uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your file is read and processed inside this browser tab and never leaves your device. You can confirm it in your browser's developer tools: the Network tab shows no upload.
- Does converting TIFF to JPG reduce quality?
- JPG is lossy; this uses high-quality settings (ffmpeg -q:v 3), visually very close to the TIFF for photos. Transparency is not kept.
- Is there a file size limit?
- Yes: 500MB per file. There's no account and no limit on how many files you convert.
- What's the difference between TIFF and JPG?
- TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) and JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) store data differently. TIFF: lossless (or uncompressed). JPG: lossy (DCT-based). JPG is the standard lossy format for photographs — small file sizes achieved by discarding detail the eye is less sensitive to.
- Why convert TIFF to JPG?
- Common uses for JPG: Digital photographs; Web images where transparency isn't needed; Email attachments where size matters. DCT-based compression is highly efficient specifically for photographic, continuous-tone content.
- What MIME type does a .jpg file use?
- image/jpeg, the standard type for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
- What is the ffmpeg command to convert TIFF to JPG?
- Run: ffmpeg -i input.tiff -q:v 3 output.jpg. This is the exact command FreePrivateConvert runs for this conversion, so you can use this page instead of installing ffmpeg: it runs the same conversion inside your browser.
