Recently, I also encountered the problem of converting a large number of JPG to TIFF format for a data processing project. At that time, I paid special attention to preserving the details and color quality of the images, so I tried many methods and summarized the following three solutions to convert jpg to tiff without third-party tools. I hope it can help you.

Method 1: Use Windows' built-in "Paint" tool
This method is simple and reliable:

Right-click to open the JPG image, select "Edit" to enter the paint tool.
Click "File" -> "Save As", and select TIFF format to save.
Although manual operation is a bit slow, this method is very practical for a small number of JPGs that need to be converted to TIFF, and it will not lose quality.

Method 2: Use the Mac system "Preview" tool
If you are using Mac, you can use the built-in "Preview" tool to complete the JPG to TIFF conversion:

Open the JPG image, click "File" -> "Export".
Select TIFF in the format option, set it up and save it.
This is an easy and stable method, which is very friendly to maintaining image quality, but it may be a bit troublesome for batch processing.

Method 3: Batch conversion using command line
If you need to batch convert JPG to TIFF, you can use the command line method:

Open PowerShell on Windows or Terminal on Mac.
Use a command, such as:
convert input.jpg output.tiff

If batch processing is required, you can use a script:

for %i in (*.jpg) do convert "%i" "%~ni.tiff"

This method is particularly suitable for converting a large number of images, with high efficiency and no loss of quality. It is suitable for people who are slightly familiar with the command line.

In the process of converting JPG to TIFF, I found that it is important to avoid using online tools, because many times they will reduce the clarity or color accuracy of the image. If it is a small number of images, Paint or Preview tools are enough; if it is a large batch, the command line method is the most efficient.

I hope my experience can help you! If you have other questions, please feel free to communicate! 😊
