El formato TIF lleva décadas siendo el favorito de fotógrafos, archivistas y departamentos técnicos que no pueden permitirse perder ni un detalle de imagen. El problema llega cuando hay que compartir esos archivos: no todos los sistemas los abren sin complicaciones, y adjuntar un TIF en un correo corporativo sigue siendo fuente de dolores de cabeza. Convertirlo a JPG resuelve eso de golpe: el archivo pesa menos, se abre en cualquier dispositivo y no necesita software especializado. Esta herramienta hace la conversión directamente desde el navegador, sin instalaciones ni registros, manteniendo una calidad visual que satisface tanto al diseñador más exigente como al funcionario que solo necesita imprimir el documento.

En España, muchas administraciones públicas generan documentación escaneada en TIF por exigencias de sus sistemas de archivo interno, pero los portales de tramitación online solo aceptan JPG o PDF. En Latinoamérica, la situación es similar en sectores como la banca y los registros civiles, donde el TIF se usa en origen pero rara vez en destino.
