JPG and TIFF explained

JPEG is a lossy image format designed for photographs. It works by discarding detail the human eye is least likely to notice, particularly in colour and in smooth gradients, which is why it compresses photos far better than it compresses text or line art.

TIFF is a flexible container used in print, publishing and archiving. It can hold multiple pages, layers, and a variety of compression schemes including none at all, which is why TIFF files vary enormously in size.

Where JPG files come from
Digital cameras, phone screenshots on Android, and essentially every photo on the pre-2015 web.
Where TIFF is used
Scanners, professional photography workflows, and print production.

JPG vs TIFF

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert JPG to TIFF?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of JPG: the image has transparency, sharp edges, text, or you plan to edit and re-save it repeatedly. TIFF is the better fit when printing, archiving, or handing files to a professional print workflow.

JPG limitations that prompt the switch
No transparency — there is no alpha channel at all. Visible artefacts around sharp edges and text. Every re-save degrades the image further (generation loss).
What you give up
No browser support at all. Large files.

Does converting JPG to TIFF reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

Saving a JPEG at 100% quality is still lossy — it is a large file that has been through the same discarding process, not a lossless copy.
