To convert TIFF to JPG, upload the TIFF file, start the conversion and download the result: Converter.now writes a JPEG at quality 90.
Decoding TIFF exposes a pixel canvas whose alpha then gets composited against an opaque background before JPG encoding. Because that transparency cannot be recovered afterward, edge color has to be judged against the real destination background. TIFF processing enumerates image directories and resolves tagged dimensions, photometric model, bit depth, strips or tiles, compression, pages, profiles, and extrasamples. JPG delivery writes opaque, lossy photographic pixels; quality must be judged around high-contrast edges, gradients, fine texture, orientation, and repeated-encode damage.
Decoded canvas - A flexible raster container able to hold high bit depth, multiple pages, alpha, and varied compression. Written image - Lossy JPEG-compressed pixels optimized for photographs and broad compatibility.

If you want the reasoning behind this TIFF to JPG route, how sRGB, Display P3 and CMYK profiles behave explains how a mishandled profile shifts colour.
Used for raster pictures made of individually stored pixels.
Designed for photos and compact web images.
Choose JPG when its particular balance of compatibility, alpha, animation, and file size matches the destination better than TIFF.
Not every app reads the same TIFF subset, so multi-page files, CMYK color, layers, or an unusual compression choice can all fail to open somewhere.
Repeated encoding introduces ringing or blocks, and transparent areas must become opaque.
lossy JPEG-compressed pixels optimized for photographs and broad compatibility is what gets written, labeled as image/jpeg. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
Step through every page and check bit depth, color mode, the resolution tag, compression, and alpha.
