TIFF and JPG explained

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.

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.

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

TIFF vs JPG

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

JPG is stronger at

Why convert TIFF to JPG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of TIFF: anything involving the web or casual sharing. JPG is the better fit when you are sharing a photograph and compatibility matters more than squeezing out the last few kilobytes.

TIFF limitations that prompt the switch
No browser support at all. Large files. The format's flexibility means some TIFFs will not open in some readers.
What you give up
No transparency — there is no alpha channel at all. Visible artefacts around sharp edges and text.

Does converting TIFF to JPG reduce quality?

TIFF stores your data exactly; JPG does not. Some detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file, which is usually the right trade for sharing and publishing. Keep your TIFF original if it is the only copy — the conversion cannot be undone.

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.
