Decompress TIFF-File

I have a Tiff-File (BigTiff, because it is ~8GB). Now I want to scale it down (4K Resolution) and I am struggling to find the correct software. When I find a software or lib which can handle Tiff-Files they have Problems with BigTiff, Dimesion (My file has a dimension > 65500 Pixels) or the LZW-Compression.

Can somebody give me a hint for a good software or lib which scales down the Tiff-File or can convert it to a other File-Format? (Linux/Mac preferred)

One of the software I use is "convert" from ImageMagick. It is standard software in Ubuntu and it's completely command line.

To use it:

convert file1.tiff file2.jpg

Clearly, there are many other options you can use. The only problem is that I am not sure if it can deal with 8 gb files.
