What to expect from this conversion
- TIFF can be saved lossy or lossless. Quality 100 gives a lossless result where the format supports it, and lower values give smaller files.
- Transparency is kept in the TIFF file.
- TIFF cannot store animation here, so only the first frame of an animated JXL is saved.
- Browsers do not display TIFF files, so use it in editors, print workflows or development tools rather than on a web page.

- Use quality 80 to 90 for photos: it is visually close to the original at a much smaller size.
- Set a width if the image will be shown on a small screen, which also reduces the file size.
- Choose a background colour before converting transparent images to a format without transparency.
