Why convert JPG to TIFF?

TIFF is the standard for print production, scanning, publishing, and archival master copies, even when the source photo started as a JPG.

Does this accept JFIF files?

Yes. JFIF is a JPEG-based format, so .jfif, .jfi, and .jif files are accepted alongside .jpg and .jpeg.

Does TIFF restore detail lost by JPEG compression?

No. TIFF here is lossless going forward, but it cannot undo JPEG’s own compression.

Why is the TIFF file so much larger than the JPG?

This tool writes uncompressed TIFF, while JPG is heavily compressed. The TIFF file can be many times larger.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser and does not upload your file to Looty Tools servers.

Quality and file size

TIFF output here is lossless from this point forward, but it cannot recover detail JPEG already discarded during its own compression. Because there is no compression, the resulting file can be many times larger than the source JPG.
