How to mass convert TIFF to JPG (Tutorial)

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a versatile image format known for its high-quality and lossless compression. It is often widely used across various devices and platforms, particularly in professional photography, publishing, and graphic design.

You can read, write and convert TIFF files in pure Java with JDeli.

Turning a lot of TIFF images to JPG can significantly reduce file size, making them easier to store and share without compromising too much on quality.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the process of using Java to turn TIFF files to JPG format with JDeli, ensuring your images are accessible.  JDeli is the best enterprise-level Java image library for quick development.

Mass convert TIFF to JPG using Java

1. Download the JDeli trial jar.
2. Process image if needed (scale, sharpen, lighten, watermark, etc)
3. Write out BufferedImage as JPG image file

BufferedImage bufferedImage = JDeli.read(new File("tiffImageFile.tiff"));

// Read TIFF image into Java


bufferedImage = operations.apply(BufferedImage bufferedImage);

// Process TIFF image (Optional)


JDeli.write(bufferedImage, "jpg", new File("jpgImageFile.jpg"));

// Write out BufferedImage as JPEG image file

Export TIFF to JPG in one line of code

With the JDeli.convert() method you can save TIFF as JPG in just one line of code.

Using File

JDeli.convert(File inFile, File outFile);

JDeli.convert(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream, "jpg");

byte[] outputData = JDeli.convert(byte[] inputData, "jpg");

JDeli.convert(File inFile, EncoderOptions outputOptions, File outfile);

How to bulk convert TIFF to JPG from the command line

Command line or bash, bat, and PowerShell scripts can be used to mass convert TIFF to JPG. This method also allows JDeli to be invoked from any programming language that supports creating a child process.

java -jar jdeli.jar –convert jpg "inputFileOrDir" "outputDir"

In this tutorial you learned how to bulk change TIFF to JPG in bulk, our Java Image library JDeli also has TIFF support for reading and writing, which you can learn more about on our support site.

// Read an image
BufferedImage bufferedImage = JDeli.read(avifImageFile);

// Read an image
BufferedImage bufferedImage = JDeli.read(dicomImageFile);

// Read an image
BufferedImage bufferedImage = JDeli.read(heicImageFile);

// Write an image
JDeli.write(bufferedImage, "heic", outputStreamOrFile);

// Read an image
BufferedImage bufferedImage = JDeli.read(jpegImageFile);

// Write an image
JDeli.write(bufferedImage, "jpeg", outputStreamOrFile);
