It becomes shareable
TIFF is a print and scanning format many web tools cannot open. JPG works everywhere.

About the two formats
TIFF
TIFF is the archival format of print and scanning: lossless, high bit-depth and multi-page capable. It is built for quality and editing rather than sharing, so files are large and browsers cannot display them.
JPG
JPG (JPEG) has been the standard photo format since 1992. It compresses photographs to a fraction of their raw size by discarding detail the eye barely notices, which is why virtually every camera, phone and website uses it.
