TIFF to JFIF Conversion FAQ
Does TIFF to JFIF conversion preserve transparency?
+
Transparency survives when JFIF is PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, or SVG. Converting to JPG flattens the alpha channel against a white background — if you need transparency, pick a transparency-aware target instead of JFIF. JFIF is the JPEG File Interchange Format — the header specification that makes a raw JPEG bitstream into a portable file.
What happens to the layers in my TIFF file?
+
They are flattened, permanently, into one composited image. Blend modes, masks, adjustment layers and editable text are all resolved into final pixels because JFIF has no structure to hold them. Keep the TIFF as the working master and treat the JFIF strictly as an export. TIFF handles CMYK, 16-bit depth, embedded ICC profiles and multi-page documents, which is exactly what print and archival workflows require. The .jfif extension confuses Windows and many web apps into refusing the file, which is usually the only reason anyone converts it.
How much quality will I lose going from TIFF to JFIF?
+
At quality 80-85 the difference is invisible at normal viewing distance and the file typically drops by 60-80%. The catch is that it is one-way: re-saving the JFIF repeatedly compounds the artefacts each time. Keep the TIFF as the master and regenerate the JFIF from it whenever you need a new size. The image data is ordinary JPEG; JFIF just defines the density and thumbnail fields around it, so a .jfif and a .jpg are the same picture.
Will my CMYK colour survive the conversion to JFIF?
+
It is converted to sRGB, because JFIF has no CMYK mode. For screen use that is exactly what you want. For commercial print it is not — the gamut shift changes how saturated colours reproduce on press, so send the printer the original TIFF rather than the JFIF.
What happens to EXIF metadata when converting TIFF to JFIF?
+
In most conversions, camera EXIF fields such as the camera model and GPS position are not carried into the JFIF. There is no setting on this page to keep or remove metadata, so check the result with a metadata viewer if it matters.
Can I batch-convert hundreds of TIFF files to JFIF at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Are my TIFF files private during conversion?
+
Yes. Uploaded TIFF files are processed on our own conversion servers, no person reviews them, and they are never shared. The upload and the converted JFIF are both deleted automatically about 24 hours after the conversion, which leaves time to download the result. See /privacy/ for the full policy.
