How It Works

Convert JPG to print-ready TIFF in three steps

STEP 1

Upload JPG Files

Drop your JPEG photos or images onto the upload area. Supports standard JPG/JPEG files from cameras, phones, design software, and web downloads. Upload up to 20 files at 200 MB total on the free plan.

STEP 2

Set DPI & Compression

Choose the output DPI (300 for photo printing, 600 for fine art), TIFF compression (LZW is recommended — lossless and widely compatible), and bit depth (8-bit is standard; 16-bit for scientific or HDR workflows). Embed an ICC profile for accurate colour in print workflows.

STEP 3

Download TIFF Files

Get print-ready TIFF files accepted by professional printers, prepress houses, and publishing platforms. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXPress, and all professional print workflows accept the output TIFFs natively.

JPG to TIFF Features

Professional print-ready TIFF from any JPEG

Print-Ready Output

The output TIFF is accepted natively by professional print workflows — offset printing, digital printing, large-format printing, and photographic printing. TIFF is the standard interchange format for prepress and print production because it supports lossless compression, CMYK colour, ICC profiles, and high bit depths — none of which JPEG supports.

Multiple Compression Types

LZW (recommended) offers excellent lossless compression and is compatible with all TIFF readers. Uncompressed gives the largest files but fastest read performance for high-bandwidth workflows. ZIP/Deflate achieves similar compression to LZW with slightly slower encoding. PackBits is a simple run-length encoding fast enough for real-time archiving workflows.

DPI Embedding

Set the output DPI metadata tag embedded in the TIFF file. 300 DPI is the standard for photographic printing. 600 DPI is used for fine art giclée prints, line art, and scanning. 72–96 DPI is for screen use only. Note: increasing the DPI tag does not add pixels — it only changes the metadata that tells a printer how large to print the image.

ICC Profile Embedding

Embed an sRGB ICC colour profile in the TIFF output for accurate colour management across devices and printing presses. Professional print workflows rely on ICC profiles to ensure colours print as expected. The embedded profile is respected by Photoshop, InDesign, and all colour-managed RIPs.

Batch 20 Files Free

Convert up to 20 JPEGs to TIFF simultaneously. All files are processed with identical settings and delivered as a ZIP archive. Useful for converting a batch of photos to TIFF for delivery to a printer, publisher, or photo lab that requires TIFF input.

100% Private & Secure

All uploads use TLS 1.3 encryption. Files are processed in isolated server containers and permanently deleted within 24 hours. No watermarks are added. We never view, index, or share your files. No account is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common reasons: (1) A print service, publisher, or photo lab requires TIFF files as their input format. (2) You need to import the image into a prepress workflow (InDesign, QuarkXPress) that expects TIFF. (3) You want to embed an ICC profile for colour-managed printing. (4) You need to set a specific DPI metadata tag for the print house. (5) You want a lossless container for further editing without re-saving as lossy JPEG. Note: converting JPEG to TIFF does not recover quality lost in the original JPEG compression.

No — converting JPEG to TIFF does not recover quality. JPEG compression permanently discards fine detail when the image is saved. Converting the JPEG to TIFF stores the existing pixel data losslessly, but the JPEG artefacts are already present. The TIFF will look exactly like the JPEG source. The benefit of TIFF is that any further editing or re-saving will not introduce additional quality loss.

LZW (recommended) is lossless and widely compatible — choose this for almost all uses. Uncompressed gives the largest files but maximum compatibility with older software. ZIP/Deflate (same algorithm as PNG) typically compresses slightly better than LZW for photographic content but is slightly slower to encode and decode. PackBits is very fast and produces moderate compression — useful for workflows where encoding speed matters more than file size.

300 DPI is the standard for photographic printing on inkjet, laser, and offset presses. 600 DPI is used for fine art reproduction, line art, and text-heavy images where sharp edges matter. Setting the DPI metadata tag does not add or remove pixels — it only tells the printer how large to print the image. A 3000×2000 pixel image at 300 DPI prints at 10×6.67 inches. The same image at 150 DPI prints at 20×13.33 inches at lower sharpness.

Yes. The output TIFF is a standard RGB TIFF with LZW compression and embedded sRGB ICC profile, compatible with Photoshop (all versions), InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, GIMP, Affinity Photo, and all professional imaging and layout applications. The DPI metadata is respected by all these applications for print sizing.
