How it works

  1. Step 1:

    Drop the JPEG file on the orange block above, or press “Choose JPEG”.

  2. Step 2:

    Press “Convert to TIF”. The block shows the progress while the server converts the file.

  3. Step 3:

    Press “Download” to save the TIF file. On Free the link works for 24 hours.

How JPEG to TIF conversion works

JPEG is an image format: it uses lossy DCT compression that permanently discards fine pixel detail to achieve small file sizes, ideal for photographs. TIF is an image format that stores data in the TIF format. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Colour profiles and orientation metadata are preserved in the output. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support TIF natively or when the target platform only accepts TIF. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools. Files are transferred over HTTPS, converted on secure cloud servers, and returned through a private download link that expires after 24 hours on Free.

Image Tip: For photos, Medium quality offers the best balance. For graphics with text or sharp edges, use High or Maximum quality to preserve clarity.

When to convert

What the TIF file is good for and why people convert to it.

  • Preserves pixel data in a TIFF container for archiving workflows
  • Supports lossless storage options (e.g., LZW/ZIP) to avoid recompression artifacts
  • Submitting scan-like images to print houses that require TIFF inputs
  • Archiving photos where JPEG’s repeated saves can accumulate visible compression artifacts

Where your file goes

  • It travels to our server over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is converted there.
  • The TIF file comes back as a private link. It stops working after 24 hours on Free and 7 days on paid plans, and then the files are deleted.
  • Want the file to stay on your device? Private Mode converts images right in the browser. Open Private Mode

Questions and answers

What people ask before converting JPEG to TIF.

Ask supportAll questions
Does converting JPEG to TIFF restore details lost by JPEG compression?
No—JPEG is already lossy, so the original compression artifacts remain. TIFF can store the existing pixels in a different container and optionally with lossless compression.
Will the TIFF file be larger than the JPEG?
Often yes. TIFF can use lossless compression or uncompressed storage, which typically increases size compared with JPEG’s lossy compression.
What compression does TIFF use compared to JPEG?
JPEG uses DCT-based lossy compression by design. TIFF is a container that can be saved with lossless options like LZW/ZIP, or uncompressed, depending on settings.
Is TIFF more compatible for professional editing than JPEG?
Many scanning, print, and desktop publishing workflows expect TIFF because it supports extensive tags and can be saved with lossless compression, reducing generation-to-generation degradation.
