im creating canvas artwork, at 30 inches x 40 inches. The files are huge and they need to be under 20mb for me to upload. I heard .tif files could keep the image quality as well as keeping a low filesize.

Also, another option is bringing it down from 300dpi to 150 dpi. Is that going to result in loss of quality of the image?

If the jpegs are too big already, then there is absolutely zero chance that a TIFF will be smaller.

150dpi is perfectly adequate for a large format print, even 120dpi would do especially if it is being printed on a textured canvas. 300 dpi is fine as well, but a bit excessive unless you think viewers will be examining the print with a magnifying glass.

30" x 40" at 150dpi is 4500px x 6000px
