How do I compress a TIFF file?

Drop the TIFF onto the compressor above, keep Balanced or pick another level, and click Compress. Download the smaller TIFF when it's done; it usually takes a few seconds.

Does compressing TIFF reduce quality?

On Light it's lossless or near-lossless. Balanced and Strong trade a little fidelity for a much smaller file, usually without visible difference on Balanced.

How much smaller will my TIFF get?

Uncompressed TIFFs shrink dramatically, often to a fraction of the original, even with lossless Deflate. TIFFs that are already compressed shrink less.

Can I compress TIFF to a specific size?

Yes. Set a target size in the compressor, or a percentage to reduce by, and the file is compressed to land at or just under it. Common sizes like 100 KB, 200 KB or 500 KB are listed on this page with the target preset.

Is it safe to compress TIFF files here?

Yes. TIFF files are compressed inside your browser with WebAssembly and never uploaded to a server.

Is the TIFF compressor free?

Yes. Compression is free with no watermark and no sign-up, within the same daily allowance as conversions.

Compress TIFF

Q: Should I convert my TIFF instead?

Sometimes. If the TIFF is only going to be viewed or uploaded, not printed or edited, a JPG is much smaller. The TIFF to JPG converter does that in one step.

What compression does to TIFF

Lossless or lossyIn your browser

Switches to efficient Deflate or JPEG compression inside the TIFF container.

Light: Lossless or near-lossless: re-compresses as efficiently as possible at full resolution.
BalancedDefault: The default: looks the same for most uses, and typically 40–70% smaller.
Strong: Smallest file: lower quality, and large images are downscaled.
