Image Compression
File size (%)
1
80
100
If your file is 10 MB, then selecting 80 will produce a 8 MB file. If you make the output file size too small, then output video quality may suffer.
Auto Scale
[Smart Scaling Active] We will automatically adjust the image dimensions to maximize quality while hitting your target file size. Manual resolution settings are hidden to prevent pixelation.

Compression Type
LZW is the standard for TIFF files and offers the best compatibility. While JPEG or WebP compression can create smaller files, they are often not supported by standard image viewers and professional printing software.

What is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a high-quality image format commonly used in:

  • Professional photography: Preserves maximum image detail and color depth.
  • Print production: Standard format for pre-press and publishing workflows.
  • Document scanning: High-quality scans of documents, maps, and artwork.
  • Medical imaging: Used in radiology and diagnostic imaging.
  • GIS and mapping: Geospatial data often uses GeoTIFF format.

TIFF files can be very large because they support uncompressed data, 16-bit color depth, and multiple layers.

Why Compress TIFF Files?

  • Email sharing: Uncompressed TIFFs can be hundreds of MB. Compression makes sharing practical.
  • Storage savings: Reduce archive sizes for large image collections.
  • Faster transfers: Compressed files upload and download more quickly.
  • Web use: Convert or compress for web-compatible sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I reduce a TIFF file?

Uncompressed TIFFs can be reduced by 50-70% with lossless LZW compression alone. With lossy compression or resolution reduction, 80-90% reduction is possible.

Can I compress TIFF without losing quality?

Yes. LZW and ZIP compression are lossless — the image is identical to the original, just stored more efficiently. Use lossy compression only when you need maximum size reduction.

Will compressed TIFF files work in professional software?

Yes. Compressed TIFFs (LZW, ZIP) are fully supported by Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, and all professional imaging software.

Can I compress multiple TIFF files at once?

Yes. Upload multiple files and compress them all with the same settings.

Is it free?

Yes. Completely free with no watermarks and no sign-up required.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works in any modern browser on all devices.
