    3. Download

      File by file, or everything at once as a ZIP file.

    Why a print shop or archive asks for TIFF

    TIFF is a standard in printing, scanning and photo archives. Some layout programs, printers and image databases accept only TIFF, and it never applies lossy compression of its own. Converting a JPG to TIFF gets the file into that workflow.

    A TIFF does not undo the JPG

    The TIFF contains the picture exactly as the JPG decodes, so it carries the same detail and the same compression artefacts. What it does give you is a format you can edit and save repeatedly without losing anything more. If the original camera file or a higher quality version exists, use that for printing rather than this copy.

    What this converter writes

    • A baseline TIFF, uncompressed, in RGB. Every program that reads TIFF can open it.
    • No CMYK conversion and no embedded colour profile. If your printer needs CMYK, convert in a layout program such as Affinity Publisher or Photoshop.
    • Very large files: a 12 megapixel photo becomes about 36 MB.

    Check the print size before you convert. Printing at 300 dpi needs 3000 pixels for 10 cm, so a small JPG will look soft however it is stored. If the file is too heavy for the job, JPG to PNG is lossless and much smaller, and shrink image can reduce the pixel count first.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is a TIFF better than a JPG for printing?

    Only if the picture is the same. A TIFF made from a JPG is not sharper than the JPG, but it avoids recompressing the file when the print program saves it.

    Why is the TIFF so big?

    It is stored without compression, so its size depends on the pixel count: roughly 3 bytes per pixel.

    Does the TIFF have layers or CMYK?

    No. It is a flat RGB image. Convert to CMYK in a layout or photo editing program if your printer requires it.

    Is my JPG uploaded?

    No. The TIFF is made in your browser, so the JPG never leaves your device. Photos are often private, and here they stay that way. There is no limit on file size or number of files, apart from your device's memory.
