You should be able to do it from just about any image editing or viewing software?

For instance, just open the tif file and go to file, save as, and for "file type" put jpeg instead of tif. Also, change the extension at the end of your file name to .jpeg.

Irfanview has a nice bulk conversion function that will convert tiffs into just about whatever you want.

Well the program Manadren put up should let you do it, either way.

What OS are you using? If you have XP, for instance, you can do it through the image viewer. See that part that says "copy to"?

Click on that and when the popup comes up, change file type to jpeg and the file name to Picture.jpg. (Substitute "Picture" with whatever you want to name the file)
