    What actually changes

    JPG and TIFF are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The JPEG is decoded and rewrapped as TIFF, normally with LZW or ZIP compression. TIFF can then hold the image without further loss through any number of future edits and re-saves.

    Worth knowing first

    Converting to TIFF does not make a JPEG press-ready. The compression damage is already in the pixels, and print shops asking for TIFF usually also want CMYK at 300 DPI, neither of which appears from nowhere during a format change.

    Questions

    JPG to TIFF, answered

    Will the TIFF be higher quality?

    No. It is a lossless container around an image that has already been through lossy compression.

    Why do archives insist on TIFF?

    It is old, fully documented, lossless and not going anywhere. Preservation standards favour formats that will still be readable in fifty years.
