A single scanned page saved as TIFF can be larger than a hundred JPGs. Filemorph converts TIFF to JPG on your iPhone so a scan or camera TIFF is small enough to actually send.
Flatbed scanners, some document scanning apps and a handful of cameras still default to TIFF, an uncompressed or lightly-compressed format built for archival quality rather than sharing. A single TIFF scan can run tens of megabytes, which stalls email attachments and blows past messaging limits.
Filemorph decodes the TIFF with ImageIO and re-encodes it as a standard JPG, which compresses the image far more aggressively while staying perfectly readable for sharing or reference. A multi-page TIFF converts its first page; for a multi-page scan you want to keep as one file, convert to PDF instead.
In the app: Convert → To JPEG.
JPG is what email, messaging apps and most upload forms expect, and it compresses a scan-sized image down to something you can actually attach or text. Keep the TIFF as an archival master if you have one; convert to JPG for anything you are sending.
Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This conversion is in the free tier.
TIFF is often stored uncompressed or with minimal compression to preserve every detail for archival or print use, which is why scanner output tends to be tens of megabytes.
JPG uses lossy compression, so there is some quality loss, but at Filemorph's default settings a scanned document or photo still looks clean for sharing and screen viewing.
