GWtoolset is good for third party uploads from web

but if you have on your hard drive it may not be an improved process

It is total 16 GB in the JPG-Version. The originals are TIFF with 40 MB
each.

So you are reducing the size by 98.7 % on average compared to the original? Quite a pity.

Ok, this could be a way. I can upload this picture at Tool Labs with
SFTP. And then I have a URL like
https://tools.wmflabs.org/my_project/images/00001.jpg

Yes, though until recently those could not be used directly in GWT.

Yes, I have enough bandwidth.

One more question: Should we upload TIFF or JPG? Ok, TIFF is a lossless
image format. But I think JPG is more in use.

A common practive is to upload both.

For a 1000px image of a postcard I think that both reducing space with JPG compression and uploading a "raw" TIFF makes little sense. If I were you I'd just convert to PNG and upload that.
