TIFF vs JPG: The Complete Guide
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is favored by graphic artists, publishers, and photographers because it allows for lossless compression. This means no image data is lost when the file is saved. Typical TIFFs can support 16-bit color depth, layers, and multiple pages.
JPEG (JPG), on the other hand, is ubiquitous. It employs lossy compression, which simplifies the image data by grouping similar colored pixels together. While this results in data loss, the file size savings are massive, often reducing a file to 1/10th or less of its original size.
