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.
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.
