Why convert JPG to TIFF?
JPG is a lossy format tuned for photographs, trading a little detail for dramatically smaller files. TIFF is a high-quality, typically lossless format favored in printing, scanning, and professional photography.
TIFF supports an alpha channel, so you get a transparency-capable file to layer or edit — though the conversion cannot invent transparency the JPG never had. JPG is already a lossy format, so converting to lossless TIFF will not recover detail that was discarded — but it prevents any further loss and gives you a broadly editable copy, at the cost of a larger file. TIFF is the standard hand-off format for print shops and archives.
Pixohub converts JPG to TIFF entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many JPG files into TIFF as you like. Reach for TIFF whenever you need print production, scanning, and archival master files.
JPG vs TIFF: what to expect
JPG is best for photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most, while TIFF shines for print production, scanning, and archival master files. Keep your original JPG if you may later need the source file, and export a TIFF copy for compatibility and editing.
