Questions

Drop it here. The viewer reads the TIFF itself, so it works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox too, which cannot show TIFF on their own.

Some scanners store JPEG data inside the TIFF. That kind is not read yet; save it again as an LZW or uncompressed TIFF, or as PNG.

No. The viewer runs in your browser and opens the file on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
