Changing a TIFF file to a JPEG on a Mac is a fairly simple process that can be done using the built-in image-viewing application called Preview. I’m going to walk you through the steps using my own personal experience.
First, locate the TIFF file that you want to convert to JPEG on your Mac. In my case, it was saved on my desktop. Once you’ve found the file, control-click or right-click on it to bring up a contextual menu.
From the contextual menu, click on the “Open With” option and then select “Preview” from the list of applications. This will open the TIFF file in the Preview application, which is the default image viewer on Mac computers.
Now that the TIFF file is open in Preview, you can proceed with the conversion process. To do this, click on the “File” menu at the top of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear, and you’ll need to scroll down to find the “Save As” option. Click on “Save As” to continue.
A window will pop up, allowing you to specify the name, location, and format of the file you want to save. In this case, we want to change the format to JPEG. To do this, click on the drop-down menu next to “Format” in the Save As window.
Scroll through the list of options until you find “JPEG.” Click on it to select it as the desired format for your file. At this point, you can also choose the desired quality for the JPEG file by adjusting the slider next to “Quality.” Higher quality will result in a larger file size, while lower quality will result in a smaller file size.
Once you’ve selected the JPEG format and adjusted the quality (if desired), you can choose the location where you want to save the converted file. You can either choose an existing folder or create a new one by clicking on the “New Folder” button.
After selecting the location, click on the “Save” button to start the conversion process. Preview will convert the TIFF file to JPEG and save it in the specified location.
And that’s it! You have successfully converted a TIFF file to JPEG on your Mac using Preview. I hope this step-by-step guide was helpful and easy to follow. Let me know if you have any further questions or need clarification on any of the steps.
