JPG vs TIFF Format Comparison

Aspect JPG (Source Format) TIFF (Target Format)
Format Overview
JPG
Joint Photographic Experts Group

Compressed image format widely used for photographs and web images with lossy compression.

Standard
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format

Flexible, lossless format supporting multiple compression types, layers, and high-quality archival storage.

Professional
Compression

Lossy compression using DCT algorithm, significantly reducing file size with quality trade-offs.

Multiple compression options including lossless LZW, ZIP, and uncompressed storage for maximum quality.

Color Depth

24-bit RGB color (16.7 million colors) with 8 bits per channel, no transparency support.

Support for 1-bit to 64-bit color depths, CMYK, Lab color spaces, and alpha transparency channels.

File Size

Small to medium files (10 KB - 5 MB) depending on compression quality and image content.

Large files (500 KB - 100+ MB) due to lossless compression and high-quality data retention.

Quality

Good quality for web use but with compression artifacts and quality loss.

Excellent quality with no compression artifacts, suitable for professional printing and archival.

Why Convert JPG to TIFF?

Converting JPG to TIFF is essential when you need to upgrade from lossy to lossless image storage, particularly for professional photography, print production, or archival purposes. While the conversion cannot recover quality lost during JPG compression, it prevents further quality degradation and provides access to TIFF's advanced features like transparency channels, multiple layers, and professional color management. This conversion is particularly valuable when preparing images for high-quality printing, creating digital archives, working with professional publishing workflows, or when you need to add transparency effects or additional metadata to existing JPG images. TIFF format excels in scenarios requiring maximum image fidelity, professional color accuracy, and long-term preservation standards that JPG cannot provide.
