How to convert files to and from TIFF
TIFF (which stands for Tagged Image File Format) is widely used in the printing and publishing industries. It’s also popular with professional photographers and graphic artists for high-quality photos and illustrations.
Though TIFF may be valuable for printing high-quality documents, the files are too large to be sent via email or uploaded to websites. So, it’s useful to be able to convert TIFF files to other formats.
In this guide, we cover TIFF file conversion and the difference between TIF, JPEG, and PNG formats.

TIFF vs. JPEG vs. PNG comparison
JPEG vs. TIFF vs. PNG: which one is best? TIFF and PNG are lossless formats, so the images can retain high quality. However, files may be very large and take up a lot of disk space. JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats. Even though JPEG uses lossy compression, the quality of the pictures is still fairly good. So if you want to save disk space, choose JPEG. Additionally, this format is supported by almost all devices, so you shouldn’t have any problems opening JPEG files.
