JPG → TIFF
Convert JPG to TIFF – server-side
Why JPG → TIFF?
Many print shops and archiving systems require TIFF files. Convert your JPG images to TIFF for professional print workflows, medical archiving, or long-term documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TIFF file?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a professional image format used in printing, archiving, and medical imaging.
Are my images safe?
Yes. The conversion happens on our server, but your file is deleted immediately after processing. We store no data.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes, you can upload and convert as many JPG files as you want at the same time.
Is the conversion free?
Yes, wandlio.de is completely free. No registration, no limits, no ads.
About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was developed in 1986 by Aldus Corporation and is now maintained by Adobe following its acquisition of Aldus in 1994. TIFF is a flexible container format that supports uncompressed, lossless (LZW, ZIP), and lossy (JPEG) compression, as well as color depths from 1 to 32 bits per channel, multiple color spaces, and multiple images per file. This versatility makes TIFF the industry standard in print production, medical imaging, satellite photography, and archiving, where maximum quality and metadata fidelity are essential. TIFF files can contain CMYK color space, ICC profiles, and GeoTIFF coordinates. The disadvantage is the substantial file size and fragmentation: numerous incompatible TIFF variants exist, meaning not every program reads every TIFF correctly. TIFF is unsuitable for web use as browsers do not support it natively. Converting to JPG or PNG is the standard approach to make TIFF files accessible for web and email.
About JPEG
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) was standardized as ISO 10918 in 1992 and remains the most widely used image format for photographs worldwide. Its lossy compression is based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and typically achieves compression ratios of 10:1 to 20:1 with barely perceptible quality loss. The algorithm was developed starting in 1986 by a working group led by Hiroshi Yasuda and quickly became the standard for web images, digital photography, and social media platforms. JPG files support 8-bit color channels in RGB color space and embedded EXIF metadata containing camera settings, GPS data, and timestamps. The format does not support transparency or animation and allows only one color space per image – limitations that are rarely relevant for its primary use as a photo format. With repeated compression, quality degrades progressively due to generation loss, making JPG unsuitable for editing and better suited as a final output format. The .jpg extension instead of .jpeg dates back to the 8.3 character limitation of early Windows file systems. JPEG XL was proposed as a successor in 2021 but has so far failed to gain meaningful market acceptance against WebP and AVIF.
Why convert JPG → TIFF?
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used image format worldwide, supported by virtually every camera, browser, and image app. It uses lossy DCT compression that degrades quality with each save and doesn't support transparency. Converting to TIFF is required when you need lossless compression (PNG for screenshots/graphics), transparency support, or want to use a modern format with better compression like AVIF or WebP. For archiving and professional editing, TIFF is often the better choice since it produces no compression artifacts and maintains quality across repeated saves.
