How to convert JPG to TIFF
Updated
To convert JPG to TIFF, re-encode the image as a lossless TIFF. Drop your JPEG into the EditItAll converter and download a print-ready TIFF. The file gets much larger, and discarded JPEG detail is not restored. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Convert JPG to TIFFWhy convert JPG to TIFF
JPG and JPEG are the same format: a small, lossy photo that opens everywhere. TIFF is what print shops, archives, and some older software still ask for. A TIFF stores the image losslessly, or uncompressed, so the file is usually much larger than the JPG.
Keep the JPG if you only need to share or upload. Convert to TIFF when a printer or archive requires it. The EditItAll JPG to TIFF converter re-encodes the image on your device, so the file is never uploaded.
Convert JPG to TIFF step by step
The converter rebuilds the photo as a fresh, lossless TIFF. JPEG and JPG files both work:
- Open the JPG to TIFF converter and drop your
.jpgor.jpegfiles in — one, or a whole folder. - Convert. TIFF is lossless, so the export keeps the JPG's pixels as they are now.
- Download. A single image downloads as a
.tiff; a batch downloads as a ZIP.
Leave the image at its original size if a printer asked for this file. Shrinking it throws away pixels you cannot get back. Everything runs on your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works. There is no account, no watermark, and no limit. EXIF and GPS metadata are stripped on export.
What conversion can and cannot do
Two honest caveats. First, converting to TIFF does not restore detail JPEG already discarded. JPEG compression is one-way. The TIFF is a faithful, lossless copy of the JPG as it exists now, not of the original scene.
Second, the TIFF is usually much larger than the JPG. That is the point of a print-ready TIFF, not a bug. JPG has no transparency, so the TIFF you get is opaque. EXIF and GPS data do not carry over. If you already have a TIFF and need a small file to share, convert the other way. Use the TIFF to JPG converter, or read how to convert TIFF to JPG.
When to keep the JPG instead
Most of the time, you should keep the JPG. It is smaller, it opens in every browser, and it is what email and upload forms expect. Use TIFF when a print shop, an archive, or a piece of software still requires it.
If the TIFF is too bulky to store, you can compress the TIFF without switching formats. Need a different format? Browse the image converters. More walkthroughs live with the other image conversion guides.
Frequently asked questions
Are my JPG files uploaded to convert them?+
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser, so the files never leave your device. You can go offline after the page loads and it still works.
Will converting JPG to TIFF improve the quality?+
No. TIFF is lossless, so it preserves the JPG exactly as it is now. It cannot recover detail JPEG already discarded. It only stops further quality loss from future saves.
Why is my TIFF so much larger than the original JPG?+
TIFF is lossless, or uncompressed, and cannot shrink photographic detail as tightly as JPEG's lossy compression. That size trade is expected. Keep the JPG for sharing; use TIFF when a printer or archive requires it.
Does the TIFF have a transparent background?+
No. JPG has no transparency, so the TIFF you export is opaque. A lossless TIFF of a JPEG is a solid rectangle of pixels.
Can I convert many JPG files at once?+
Yes. Drop in a whole folder and the converter processes them in a batch, then hands you the results as a single ZIP download — all locally, nothing uploaded.
