TIFF to JPG

Take a scanned TIFF to JPG. A multi-page TIFF gives back exactly one JPG, the first page, because the pixel buffer in the middle holds one image.

Input

Options

TIFF to JPG reads the list of images a scanner writes, one entry per sheet it fed, and encodes entry one as a single JPEG. Split the file with another program first if the page you want is further down. The rest of the list is read past, never decoded and never written.

Questions

What happens to a multi-page scan?

Only the first page comes out. The pixel buffer this pipeline decodes into holds one still image, so a multi-page TIFF gives back exactly one JPG regardless of how many pages the source held.

What quality is lost?

Whatever the JPEG encoder discards at the chosen quality, default 80, the same trade every lossy target in this matrix makes. A scanned TIFF is often uncompressed or losslessly compressed to start, so this is the first lossy step the image goes through.

Which engine handles this?

utif2 decodes the TIFF and jSquash encodes the JPEG through mozjpeg. Both run in Node, on the command line, through MCP and in the browser, with no consent step and no download.

What size should I expect?

Often much smaller, since a scanned TIFF is frequently stored uncompressed or with light lossless compression, and lossy JPEG compression cuts that down considerably at quality 80.

What is the reverse page?

There is none. JPG to TIFF is not one of the named pairs, though Convert image can write TIFF from a JPG source directly.
