Why convert TIFF to JPG?
TIFF files are uncompressed and can be 50-100MB+ each. Converting to JPEG reduces file size by 90%+ while maintaining visual quality, making them easy to share, email, and upload to websites.
Will I lose quality converting TIFF to JPG?
There is some quality loss since JPEG uses lossy compression. At 90%+ quality setting, the difference is invisible to most viewers. For archival purposes, keep the original TIFF as a backup.
When should I keep TIFF instead of JPG?
Keep TIFF for professional printing, archival storage, and when you need to edit the image multiple times. TIFF preserves full quality with each save, unlike JPEG which degrades slightly each time.
