Why convert XPS to TIFF?
TIFF is the standard format in document imaging, fax, and archival workflows that require lossless multi-page raster output. If your destination system - a scanner, document management system, or fax gateway - requires TIFF and you have only an .xps file, this conversion bridges the gap.

- Resolution matters: the default 72 DPI produces poor results for archiving or printing; use 300 DPI for text documents and at least 200 DPI for fax.
- Tools output separate TIFF files per page by default; merging them into a single multipage TIFF requires an additional tool such as ImageMagick.
- TIFF supports multiple compression schemes; choose lossless compression (LZW or ZIP) for document archiving.
