| Digital Photo File Formats: JPEG vs. TIFF Our scanning services provide you with high resolution digital images saved to one of two formats, JPEG format, or TIFF format. Each format has it's unique benefits and is better suited for certain people or situations. There has been much debate about these two formats and some people feel very strongly about one or the other. We don't charge more for one or the other and will not attempt to influence your opinion. Below are some facts about each format that should help you decide which is a better choice. JPEG and TIFF in a Nutshell: JPEG: Sometimes referred to as JPG. JPEG is probably the most popular and compatible image format around. JPEG is the standard file format of most of today's consumer quality digital cameras and is supported by almost all of today's imaging software. JPEG uses lossy compression, meaning that some image data is lost when the file is compressed. The amount of compression can be varied, the more compression the more data is discarded and the smaller a file becomes. JPEG is great for creating smaller file sizes for uploading on the Internet, or for use with e-mail. It's also a good choice because it's very popular and likely to be around for a long time. We use Maximum quality JPEG compression settings that provide you with high quality images. TIFF: TIFF format is the standard for most commercial and professional printing needs. We use the uncompressed TIFF format meaning that no image data is lost after scanning. TIFF is a great choice for archiving images when all detail must be preserved and file size is not a consideration. TIFF files are very large in size compared to JPEGs because no compression is used.
