TIFF to JPG Converter

Purpose & User Intent: The tool solves the need to convert TIFF/TIF images to JPEG with controlled quality, batch support, and metadata handling. Users include photographers, designers, web teams, and asset managers who need web-ready or client-ready JPGs from scans or TIFF archives. It supports single or multiple inputs and outputs standard JPEG files suitable for websites, catalogs, emails, or client proofs.
Core Logic & Features: Reads TIFF inputs, decodes color spaces, and re-encodes as JPEG with optional resize and color-space conversion to sRGB for web consistency. Supports batch processing and multi-page TIFF handling (first page by default, or all pages). Optional: preserve or strip metadata; output quality control; predictable naming.
Inputs & Outputs: Inputs: input_files (TIFF/TIF files, required), quality (1-100, optional, default 85), max_width and max_height (px, optional), color_space (auto|sRGB|AdobeRGB, optional), metadata (preserve|strip, optional), multi_page (first|all, optional). Outputs: outputs (array of strings representing JPEG file names or paths); formats are JPEG; outputs follow input basename with a page index suffix when applicable.
Algorithms & Calculations: JPEG encoding uses a quality factor to determine quantization; resizing uses bicubic interpolation to preserve detail; color-space conversion to sRGB is applied when required; metadata handling follows standard EXIF/IPTC rules; multipage outputs are numbered.
Error & Edge Cases: Invalid TIFF inputs raise decode errors; very large files may hit memory limits; some TIFF features may not map cleanly to JPEG; multi-page TIFFs with all-pages option can produce many outputs; missing optional inputs revert to safe defaults.
Industry/Region & Localization: Adheres to standard imaging formats (TIFF/TIF, JPEG) and common color spaces and metadata practices; pixel measurements in px; no currency; suitable for global workflows and digital asset management.
Assumptions & Exclusions: Assumes source files are accessible and not encrypted; not an image editor; not converting formats other than TIFF/TIF to JPEG; no edits, watermarking, or color grading; output naming follows configured patterns.
