| 1 | I have several photos that I need to change from tif files to jpg files..they are of my mother, so important.. & although I have in the past changed some of 'the group' it was several computers ago.. I do however still have a running xp computer that isn't on the internet.. urbanrefugee54 - 2021-01-12 22:44:00 |
| 2 | I can see them on my win10 computer, but can't change them from tif to jpg urbanrefugee54 - 2021-01-12 22:45:00 |
| 3 | jpg is a downgrade - why the need to change? you can try irfanview if you need a photo viewer, and will also save them as jpg king1 - 2021-01-12 22:48:00 |
| 4 | Most even basic paint programs will give you a Save As option once you have opened them up and allow you to save a copy as a new file type if you choose from a dropdown list eg jpg. Would be best to make sure you keep the tif files though as depending on what if any compression ratio your software is set to by default, the new file can lose from the original quality. I usually use around 10-15% compression for general work. Edited by nzstocked at 11:22 pm, Tue 12 Jan nzstocked - 2021-01-12 23:18:00 |
| 5 | Don't use paint as it uses very high compression. Try this programme, it is free and should work on any version of windows: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkimageconver/ It is open source so won't have any spyware etc. on it. tygertung - 2021-01-13 08:04:00 |
| 6 | Or google tif to jpg. Works for me. hazelthecat - 2021-01-13 12:34:00 |

Tif is a lossless file format, Archival, I.E. no matter how many times you open it and save it again the data stays intact. Jpg is a lossy format, every save as jpg will subsequently discard data, the first few saves nothing you will notice but keep at it and it will soon turn into a mess. Save it as png if you need a smaller file size that everything can read, it, like tiff, is lossless but contains good lossless compression. ronaldo8 - 2021-01-13 18:44:00 |
| 8 | problem is that when you want to use the image, some programs will only see a jpg image - I wanted to use the save as .. my xp computer will be able to do it.. Edited by urbanrefugee54 at 8:54 pm, Wed 13 Jan urbanrefugee54 - 2021-01-13 20:52:00 |
| 9 | Yes, but you don't have to save the JPG, just open it without saving it. Who's doing a million edits on a jpg image anyway? tygertung - 2021-01-13 20:54:00 |

| 11 | Maybe it doesn't in the newest version, but in previous versions it used to make a massive difference to quality. tygertung - 2021-01-15 08:07:00 |
