Why Social Media Rejects Your TIFF Files
The secret to posting high-quality scans on Instagram and Facebook.
You've just received a professional headshot from a photographer or scanned a high-quality artwork, and you want to share it on Instagram. You try to upload it, but... nothing happens. Or worse, you get an error message.
The reason is simple: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn do NOT support TIFF files.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is designed for printing and editing, not for viewing on phones. These files are massive—often 50MB to 200MB—which would crash most mobile apps. To post your content, you must convert it to a format the web understands: JPG.
The Solution
Our tool converts your TIFF to a high-quality JPG in seconds. It strips away the heavy, unneeded data while keeping the visual details you care about, making your image instantly compatible with every app on your phone.

A Brief History of Image Formats
To understand why we need this converter, we have to look back at the 1980s. TIFF was created by Aldus Corporation in 1986 as a way to get desktop scanners to agree on a common file format. It was built to be robust and hold as much data as possible, regardless of file size.
JPG (or JPEG) arrived later, in 1992, created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. Their goal was different: they wanted to make digital photography practical. They realized that the human eye is forgiving—we don't notice if tiny variations in color are missing. By mathematically approximating these colors, they created a format that could shrink an image to 1/10th of its size without ruining the picture.
Today, TIFF is still king for saving your master files, but JPG is the undisputed king of sharing them.
