How to convert PDF to TIF
- Add your .PDF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TIF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TIF file.
What to expect
- Pages are rendered to raster images, so text is no longer selectable or searchable.
- Output detail depends on the render resolution; higher DPI means larger files.
- TIFF supports multi-page files, so a multi-page PDF need not be split.
Frequently asked questions
How is the image quality?
Each page is rendered to pixels, so clarity depends on the resolution (DPI) chosen for the render; higher DPI is sharper but larger. Once rendered, the text is part of the image and is no longer selectable.
Why convert a PDF to TIF?
TIFF is the standard for scanned-document and archival workflows, and it supports storing several pages in one file. Converting a PDF to TIFF fits it into fax, scanning, and document-archive pipelines.
What opens a TIF file?
On Windows the Photos app opens it and on macOS Preview does, with no extra software. Most image editors and document-imaging tools also read TIFF.
Will a multi-page PDF stay in one file?
TIFF can hold multiple pages, so a multi-page PDF can become a single multi-page TIFF or one file per page depending on the settings used. Either way each page is stored as a raster image.
