Choose a practical output format for large TIFF scans or photographs while preserving an archival original.

TIFF is used in photography, scanning, and print workflows because it can preserve high-quality image data. It may be unnecessarily large or unsupported for casual sharing. Converting a copy to JPEG or PNG can make it easier to send or upload.

How to approach it

Use JPEG for compact photographic previews and PNG when lossless pixels or transparency are important. Keep the TIFF source for archival or print work, and check dimensions, color, and page/frame handling after conversion. Multi-page TIFF files may need separate handling for each page.

Checks before you share

Keep an untouched source file, inspect the exported copy at full size, and confirm that the result suits its intended use. If the image contains private information, check the entire frame and its metadata before publishing.
