Thanks

Browsers are not able to display TIFF files directly, so AstroBin will convert your TIFF To JPEG anyway, for displaying purposes. I would say you're better off taking control of your JPEG settings and upload a JPEG directly.

Viewers of your image will not be able to download your original TIFF file off of AstroBin anyway, as AstroBin only serves resisized versions.

If you want to store an uncompressed file on AstroBin for archival purposes, you can do that usin gthe "Upload uncompressed source" in the Actions menu, tho that's an option only offered at the Ultimate subscription tier.
