How do I convert a PDF to TIFF?
Open the PDF, choose the output DPI and colour mode, name the pages you want or leave the field empty for all, then convert. Each page is rendered at your chosen resolution and encoded as a real TIFF file — one page downloads directly, several arrive as a ZIP. The whole job runs locally in your browser.
About the PDF to TIFF Converter
Convert PDF documents to TIFF images. Ideal for archiving and professional printing workflows.
- Produce TIFF page images for an archival or document-management system that will not ingest PDF.
- Rasterize at 300 or 600 DPI when the pages are going to a print bureau or an OCR pipeline that expects scan-resolution input.
- Reduce pages to gray or two-tone pixel values with the colour mode option before encoding, for legal or microfilm-style deliverables.

Which DPI should you pick for TIFF output?
Match the destination rather than choosing the highest number. 72 DPI is a screen-sized preview. 150 DPI is a reasonable working resolution for internal review. 300 DPI is the normal target for print and for document archives, and it is what most submission specifications ask for. 600 DPI is for fine line work and small type, and it multiplies both memory use and file size sharply — a long document at 600 DPI can exceed the tool’s output limits.
What do the colour, grayscale, and black-and-white modes do?
Colour keeps the rendered page as full RGB. Grayscale converts each pixel to a single brightness value, which suits archives that standardise on greyscale and cuts file size without changing legibility. Black and white reduces every pixel to pure black or pure white, the traditional format for scanned document storage and fax-style workflows; it produces by far the smallest files but destroys any shading, so photographs and screened images become blotchy.
Why do archives and print shops still ask for TIFF?
Because it is old, stable, and losslessly compressed, which makes it a safe long-term container — a TIFF written today will still open in twenty years, and it carries no JPEG generation loss when files are handled repeatedly. Prepress and records-management systems standardised on it decades ago and never had a compelling reason to move. That is also why the files are large: durability, not compactness, is the point.
Are my files uploaded when converting PDF to TIFF?
No. TIFF conversion is normally the last step before a document goes into a records system or off to a printer, which means the file is often exactly the sort of thing that should not sit in a stranger’s upload directory. Every page here is rendered and encoded inside your browser, so the archival copy is produced on your own machine and downloaded straight to it.
