JPG to TIFF

Convert JPG to TIFF for print and archiving

Print shops, publishers, document management systems and some archive requirements ask for TIFF rather than JPG. pdfty's JPG to TIFF converter produces TIFF files that open in Photoshop, InDesign, GIMP, Preview and professional DMS software, so you can meet those submission rules quickly. It is also a quick fix when an upload portal lists TIFF as the only accepted image type.

Conversion runs on our server with Pillow, and EXIF rotation is applied so images are upright. Be honest about what this achieves: a TIFF made from a JPG contains exactly the JPG's pixels. It meets the format requirement and prevents further loss when you edit and re-save, but it does not add resolution or detail. Files will be considerably larger than the JPG.

Upload several JPGs at once and get a ZIP with one TIFF per file. Free: no daily limit, up to 20 MB per file, no watermark, no sign-up. Files are deleted within 1 hour. If your printer accepts PDF, JPG to PDF is often simpler and produces smaller files.

Frequently asked questions

No. Print quality depends on the pixel dimensions of the original. TIFF stores the JPG's pixels without improving them.
