TIFF files are image files that are very large in size and retain high quality. If you want to decrease the file size of some of your TIFF files you can convert those TIFF files to JPG files. In order to convert a TIFF to a JPG you will need to have some image editing software to use. You can easily convert a TIFF to a JPG in image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, Image Converter Plus and more.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Image editing software
  1. Step 1

    Get some image editing software. There are options such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks and Image Converter Plus that you have to pay to use. There are also freeware options like GIMP. The Adobe products can be purchased directly from Adobe. Image Converter Plus can be downloaded on it's website (see Resources) and it comes with a free trial. GIMP can be downloaded from its website (see Resources) for free.

  2. Step 2

    Convert TIFF to JPG with Adobe Photoshop by opening Photoshop on your computer. Click the "File" menu and then "Open" to select your TIFF file. Once the file is open, click "File" and then "Save As." When the pop up appears you will want to select JPG as your file type and click "OK." This will convert your TIFF to JPG in Adobe Photoshop.

  3. Step 3

    Convert TIFF to JPG with Adobe Fireworks by opening Fireworks in your computer. Converting in Fireworks is the same as in Photoshop. Open the TIFF by clicking "File" and "Open." Convert to JPG by clicking "File" again and then "Save As." Select "JPG" for the file format from the drop down menu on the Save As window and click "OK."

  4. Step 4

    Convert TIFF to JPG with Image Converter Plus by locating the TIFF file on your computer and right clicking. A menu will appear and you should select "Convert to." Then, select JPG from the conversion menu. Or, if you launch the Image Converter Plus program, you can click "Open" to select the TIFF file. Select JPG under "Save Images In" and click the "Convert" button.

  5. Step 5

    Convert TIFF to JPG with GIMP by clicking "File" and then selecting "Open" to select the TIFF file that you want to convert. Once the TIFF file is open in GIMP, click on "File" again and then "Save As" and pick JPG as the save to format and click "OK." This will convert your TIFF to JPG in GIMP.
