Level What it promises What happens Pick it when
Lossless
Not one pixel changes in a JPEG, PNG or GIF The file is repacked, never re-encoded. JPEGs get an optimised Huffman table and progressive scan, PNGs a tighter deflate pass, GIFs a lossless gifsicle run. A lossy WebP has no repack step, so it is re-encoded at the highest quality the level allows. A sideways phone JPEG is rotated losslessly on the way through and keeps its colour profile. The one exception to the promise is a PNG or WebP tagged with a wide-gamut profile such as Display P3: its colours are converted to sRGB, so the values change but the picture doesn't. Logos, line art, anything you'll edit again, or when the file is evidence.
Smart
No visible change, targets 40 dB PSNR and a perceptual score of 70 A quality search runs per image and stops at the lowest quality that still clears the PSNR target. That answer is then scored on the SSIMULACRA 2 scale, because an average over every pixel lets a mostly flat picture through at a quality its detail doesn't deserve, and when it falls under 70 the search moves back up until it doesn't. Photos and graphics end up at different qualities because they need different ones; an image that cannot reach the targets inside the quality ceiling is encoded at the ceiling. Almost everything on a website. This is the default for a reason.
Ultra
Smallest file, targets 34 dB PSNR and a perceptual score of 50 The same two-stage search with lower targets. Fine texture softens a little; edges and text stay sharp. Thumbnails, backgrounds, email images, anything shown small or blurred anyway.
None
No compression at all Only the resize, conversion or metadata setting you chose is applied. An untouched upload comes back byte for byte. You only wanted to resize or convert, and quality is someone else's decision.

Measured, not estimated

What TIFF to JPG saved on two photographs

An uncompressed TIFF stores three bytes for every pixel and nothing smarter, so almost any JPG of it is tiny by comparison.

Sample Original Smart Ultra
Landscape, uncompressed TIFF 1800 by 1200 6.2 MB TIFF 555 KB 91.2% smaller 317 KB 95% smaller
Cafe interior, uncompressed TIFF 1800 by 1200 6.2 MB TIFF 90 KB 98.6% smaller 75 KB 98.8% smaller

Two showcase photographs, 1800 by 1200, written as uncompressed TIFFs and converted by the pipeline your upload goes through. A TIFF saved with LZW or ZIP compression starts smaller, so it saves a smaller share.

Why convert

TIFF is for archives, not for sending

Scanners, cameras and print workflows produce TIFFs because TIFF loses nothing. That's right for a master file and wrong for nearly everything else. A single A4 scan at 300 dpi runs to 25 MB. Browsers won't display it, and most upload forms reject it.

Because a TIFF is a lossless source, Iminify has the full picture to work from. Smart searches for the lowest JPG quality that still matches your image, up to a ceiling of 90, and writes it with jpegli as a progressive JPG.

Mind the limits on big scans. A guest upload stops at 16 MB and every plan stops at 64 megapixels. A 600 dpi A4 scan is about 35 megapixels, which fits, but its file may not unless it was saved with compression.

What survives

What a TIFF keeps on its way to JPG

  • Colours, CMYK included

    A CMYK or wide-gamut TIFF is converted to sRGB through its profile, so a print file doesn't come out with inverted or washed-out colour.

  • EXIF, when you switch it on

    Camera TIFFs carry EXIF. It's stripped by default and carried into the JPG when Keep EXIF is on.

  • Pages after the first

    A multi-page TIFF, such as a scanned document, is converted as its first page only. Split it first if you need them all.

  • Transparency and layers

    JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are flattened onto white. Layers from an editor are merged.

When not to

When to keep the TIFF

  • It's your master scan or a file going to a print shop. Keep it, and convert a copy.
  • It's a multi-page document. You want a PDF, not a JPG, and Iminify doesn't make those.
  • It's line art or text. A PNG or a lossless WebP keeps the edges clean where a JPG leaves ringing; pick one from the full tool.

How to

TIFF to JPG in three steps

  1. 1

    Drop your TIFF

    Both .tif and .tiff are accepted. There's no preview of the original, because browsers can't draw TIFF.

  2. 2

    Resize if it's a scan

    A 300 dpi scan is far bigger than a screen needs. Set a width under Resize and it happens in the same pass.

  3. 3

    Download the JPG

    The result does preview, so check it before you download.
