About the formats

About TIFF

TIFF stores images without discarding detail and can hold several pages in one file. It is normally used for scanning, printing, archiving and document imaging. Files are large, and browsers do not display TIFF.

About JPEG

JPEG compresses photographs by discarding detail the eye is least likely to notice, which makes photo files small. It is normally used for photographs, camera output and images on the web. It cannot store transparency, and every re-save discards a little more detail.

What to expect

  • Transparent areas become white, because JPEG has no transparency.
  • A multi-page TIFF is returned as a ZIP with one image per page.

What happens to your file

Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted there in a temporary workspace, which is removed once processing completes. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers over HTTPS, converted in a temporary workspace, and removed once processing completes.
Does converting TIFF to JPEG reduce quality?
TIFF keeps all of its detail, and JPEG does not, so the conversion discards some. For photographs the difference is usually hard to see; for sharp edges, text or line art it can be visible.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
Each page becomes a separate JPEG image. One page comes back as a single image; more than one comes back as a ZIP containing them all, numbered in page order.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPEG has no transparency, so transparent pixels are composited onto a white background rather than turning black. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG instead.
