PDF to TIFF Converter (Multi-Page TIFF)
Convert a PDF into one multi-page TIFF or one TIFF per page. Choose 150, 200 or 300 DPI, color, grayscale or black and white, with lossless LZW compression.
Most tools never upload your files
How to convert PDF to TIFF
TIFF is the format many archives, fax systems, courts, insurers and document management systems still require, because it stores pages as exact images with a known resolution. PDF to TIFF renders every page of your PDF and saves it as a proper TIFF: either one multi-page TIFF for the whole document or one file per page, at the resolution and color mode you need.
How to convert PDF to TIFF
- Add your PDF. Drop it onto the page or click Choose file.
- Choose the resolution. 150, 200 or 300 DPI.
- Pick the colors. Color, grayscale, or black and white (1 bit).
- Choose the output. One multi-page TIFF, or one TIFF per page. Under Advanced options you can turn compression off or convert only some pages.
- Convert and download.
Which settings to use
| Goal | Recommended settings |
|---|---|
| Fax or e-filing | 200 DPI, black and white, multi-page |
| Long term archive | 300 DPI, grayscale or color, LZW |
| OCR software | 300 DPI, grayscale |
| Screen viewing, small files | 150 DPI, color |
| Very old TIFF software | No compression |
Proper TIFF files
The files written here follow the baseline TIFF standard: the resolution is stored so pages print at their real size, multi-page files carry page numbers, and LZW compression with a horizontal predictor keeps color and gray pages compact without losing a single pixel. Black and white pages are stored at 1 bit per pixel, which is what fax and archive systems expect and keeps a 30 page document light.
Private conversion
The PDF is opened and rendered by your browser and the TIFF is assembled on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so contracts, statements and medical documents stay with you.
Who uses it
Law firms and courts that accept filings only as TIFF, insurance and health systems that import scanned documents, fax gateways, records managers who archive contracts as images, and print and prepress workflows that expect raster pages. Other common cases are preparing pages for OCR software that reads TIFF better than PDF, sending documents to older scanning or imaging software, and creating page images with a known resolution for measurements or engineering drawings. A multi-page TIFF keeps the whole document in one file, just like the PDF, so nothing gets lost between separate page images. If a portal asks for single page files instead, switch the output to one TIFF per page and you get a ZIP with the pages numbered in order, ready to upload one after another.
Tips
- Need JPG or PNG images instead? Use PDF to Images or PDF to PNG.
- Received a TIFF and need a PDF? TIFF to PDF keeps every page.
- Only some pages needed? You can pick them here, or first cut the file with Split PDF.
- Password protected PDF? Remove the password you know first.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get one multi-page TIFF from a PDF?
Yes. That is the default: every page of the PDF becomes a page inside a single .tif file. Choose One TIFF per page if your system needs separate files, which then download as a ZIP.
Which resolution should I choose?
200 DPI is a good default for documents. Use 300 DPI for archives, OCR or printing, and 150 DPI when you need smaller files for screen viewing.
When should I use black and white?
Fax software, many document management and e-filing systems want 1 bit black and white TIFFs. They are much smaller than color files and keep text perfectly readable.
Which compression does the TIFF use?
LZW, a lossless compression that every TIFF reader supports, combined with a predictor that makes color and gray pages smaller. You can switch compression off for very old software.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Pages are rendered and encoded in your browser, so the document stays on your device and nothing is stored.
Are there size limits?
PDFs up to 100 MB are accepted. Very large posters are capped at about 60 megapixels per page so your browser does not run out of memory, and the TIFF then stores the effective resolution.
