JPG to TIFF Crop Converter
Load a JPG, drag the crop handles to define exactly the area you need, preview the result, then download a lossless TIFF. Everything runs in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

What This Tool Does
This tool loads a JPG image directly in your browser, presents an interactive crop overlay with draggable handles, and converts the selected area to a lossless TIFF file. No server upload is required. The full workflow — loading, cropping, encoding — runs entirely in client-side JavaScript using the HTML5 Canvas API. The output is an uncompressed 24-bit RGB TIFF, the format expected by professional print workflows, photo editing software, and archival systems.
Who This Is For
- Photographers who need to deliver a specific cropped region of a JPG as a TIFF for print production
- Designers preparing assets for press workflows that require TIFF input
- Archivists extracting a portion of a scanned JPG document for lossless preservation
- Anyone who needs to trim and convert a JPG to TIFF without installing Photoshop or GIMP
JPG vs TIFF: Format Comparison
| Property | JPG | TIFF |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (DCT) | Lossless (or uncompressed) |
| Quality loss on re-save | Yes — each save degrades quality | No — lossless round-trip |
| File size | Smaller (5–20× smaller than TIFF) | Larger — every pixel stored |
| Print production support | Acceptable but not preferred | Industry standard |
| Editing/post-production | Limited — artifacts accumulate | Preferred — no generational loss |
| Transparency support | No | Yes (alpha channel) |
| Color bit depth | 8-bit per channel | 8, 16, or 32-bit per channel |
| Best for | Web delivery, sharing, email | Print, archiving, post-production |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TIFF and why is it used in professional workflows?▼
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) stores image data without lossy compression. Unlike JPG, saving a TIFF again produces an identical file — there is no generational quality loss. This makes it the preferred format for print production, scanning, archiving, and any workflow where the image will be edited multiple times.
How precise is the crop tool?▼
The crop operates at native pixel accuracy on the original JPG dimensions. The canvas is scaled to fit your screen for display, but the actual crop coordinates are mapped back to the full-resolution image before the TIFF is generated. You get a TIFF at the exact pixel dimensions shown in the crop dimensions badge.
Can I move the crop selection after setting it?▼
Yes — click and drag inside the crop rectangle (away from the handles) to reposition it anywhere within the image. Handles resize; the interior pans.
Does the output TIFF use compression?▼
The output is an uncompressed TIFF for maximum compatibility. This means the file size will be larger than the source JPG but opens in every application that supports TIFF without any codec requirement.
What browsers are supported?▼
All modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (desktop and mobile). The tool uses standard HTML5 Canvas and Blob APIs that have been universally supported since 2015.
Is there a file size limit?▼
There is no server-imposed limit because no upload occurs. The practical limit is your browser's available RAM. Most modern desktops handle JPGs up to 50 MP comfortably. Very large files on memory-constrained mobile devices may be slower to process.
