Convert TIFF to JPEG

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile, high-quality image format commonly used in professional photography, publishing, and graphic design. It supports lossless compression, preserving image quality while maintaining layers, transparency, and multiple pages. TIFF files can handle both RGB and CMYK color spaces, making them ideal for print production. While larger in size than JPEGs, TIFFs excel at storing detailed images without degradation.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely-used digital image format that efficiently compresses photographs and complex graphics. It reduces file size by selectively discarding visual data that human eyes are less likely to notice. While JPEG compression is "lossy," meaning some quality is sacrificed, it maintains good visual appearance at reasonable file sizes, making it ideal for web images and photo sharing.

JPEG files do not support transparency. The format only handles fully opaque pixels and cannot display partially transparent or completely transparent areas. When saving an image with transparent elements as a JPEG, transparent areas typically convert to solid white or black backgrounds. For images requiring transparency, use PNG or WebP formats instead, as these support alpha channels for transparent and semi-transparent elements.

You can lose some detail. Framebird decodes the TIFF pixels and encodes a new JPEG file, and JPEG compression is lossy. The default quality setting is 90. Setting quality to 100 can reduce loss, but it does not guarantee an identical image. Source metadata is not copied, so embedded details may not carry over. Keep your original TIFF, especially if it is your master copy.
