How to convert jpeg to tiff file

Scanners, publishing systems, archives, and print workflows may require TIFF instead of JPEG. Converting creates a TIFF file for compatible editing or storage, but it cannot restore detail already removed by JPEG compression.

What the JPEG format is

JPEG, usually identified by .jpg or .jpeg, is a lossy raster-image format designed to reduce file size. Digital cameras, smartphones, scanners, web browsers, image editors, and content-management systems commonly create or use it.

JPEG compression removes image information, particularly fine texture and sharp color transitions. Repeatedly opening and saving a JPEG can add blocking, ringing, and blurred edges. Standard JPEG files support photographic RGB and grayscale images but do not preserve editable layers, paths, or transparency.

What the TIFF format is

TIFF, identified by .tif or .tiff, is a flexible raster-image container used for scanning, printing, publishing, medical imaging, geographic information systems, and document archiving. Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP, scanners, and professional cameras can create TIFF files.

TIFF can store RGB, grayscale, CMYK, and other color models; ICC profiles; metadata; and 8-bit or higher-per-channel data when the source and software support it. It supports uncompressed storage and lossless LZW or ZIP compression. TIFF can also contain multiple pages or images, but support for high-bit-depth, multilayer, tiled, and multipage TIFF files varies between applications.

How to convert a file online

On 101convert.com, open the JPEG-to-TIFF converter, upload the .jpg or .jpeg file, select TIFF if a format option is shown, start the conversion, and download the resulting .tif or .tiff file. The service is free and requires no software installation. Avoid uploading confidential, regulated, or commercially sensitive images unless the service’s handling and retention terms meet your requirements.

How to convert a file on a computer

  • Photoshop: Open the image with File → Open, then use File → Save As or File → Save a Copy. Select TIFF, choose LZW or ZIP compression in the TIFF options, and save.
  • GIMP: Open the JPEG with File → Open, choose File → Export As, enter a filename ending in .tif, and select TIFF export options. Use lossless compression when available.
  • Preview on macOS: Open the JPEG, choose File → Export, select TIFF as the format, and save the copy.
  • IrfanView on Windows: Open the JPEG, choose File → Save As, select TIFF, set the compression option, and save.

How to convert files with ImageMagick

ImageMagick is suitable for command-line and batch conversion. This command creates a TIFF with lossless LZW compression:

magick input.jpg -compress LZW output.tif

Use ZIP compression instead with:

magick input.jpg -compress Zip output.tif

On macOS or Linux, this example converts .jpg files in the current folder into a separate tiff folder:

mkdir -p tiff && for f in *.jpg; do magick "$f" -compress LZW "tiff/${f%.*}.tif"; done

On Windows PowerShell, use:

Get-ChildItem *.jpg | ForEach-Object { magick $_.FullName -compress LZW (Join-Path $_.DirectoryName ($_.BaseName + '.tif')) }

These commands normally preserve the JPEG’s pixel dimensions and existing color data. They do not increase resolution or create detail.

Quality and compatibility limits

Saving a JPEG as TIFF prevents another JPEG encoding step, but it does not undo the original lossy compression. The TIFF may be much larger because TIFF stores the decoded pixels in a format intended for editing and preservation.

Choose LZW or ZIP for lossless TIFF compression when the receiving application supports it. Use uncompressed TIFF only when a device or legacy workflow requires it. TIFF can contain JPEG-compressed data, but that option remains lossy and is usually unsuitable for archival or repeated editing.

Converting an 8-bit JPEG to 16-bit TIFF does not add tonal information. Check the exported file’s pixel dimensions, orientation, ICC profile, color mode, metadata, and transparency in the target application. A normal JPEG has no transparency; TIFF can store an alpha channel, but conversion cannot invent one.

Changing resolution metadata from 72 to 300 DPI changes the reported physical print size, not the pixel count. When compatibility is uncertain, use a standard single-image, 8-bit RGB or grayscale TIFF. Some older programs reject BigTIFF, tiled, CMYK, 16-bit, multilayer, or multipage TIFF files.

Frequently asked questions

Is the JPEG to TIFF converter free?

Yes, converting JPEG to TIFF on 101convert.com is completely free. No registration, email address or installation is required. If you need a higher file size limit or want to convert more files at once, see our plans.

How large can my JPEG file be?

You can upload JPEG files up to 2000 MB and convert up to 200 files at once in a single batch.

What happens to my uploaded files?

Files are processed automatically and deleted from our servers within a few minutes after conversion. We never view or share your files.

Do I need to install any software to convert JPEG to TIFF?

No. The JPEG to TIFF conversion runs entirely online in your browser and works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone.

Did the conversion fail?

In most cases, the cause is an incorrect file format. Please upload a valid JPEG file for this JPEG to TIFF conversion. Occasionally, the issue may be on our side. We analyze recurring conversion failures and disable or fix the converter if we detect a defect.
