Tips for the best result

Common problems and fixes

Only the first page of my multi-page TIFF is in the PDF.
Multi-page TIFF files are converted one page at a time: the first page is used. Save each page as its own TIFF, or scan straight to PDF.
The PDF is too big.
Convert the TIFF to JPG with Resize set to Max 1920px, then JPG to PDF.

TIFF – Tagged Image File Format

TIFF is a flexible, high-quality format used in scanning, print production and professional photography. Files are usually large, and many web browsers cannot display TIFF at all, so images are normally converted before they are published online.

Frequently asked questions

Is the text in the PDF searchable?

No. A scan is a picture of the page; selecting text needs OCR (text recognition) software.

Does TIFF to PDF lose quality?

No visible quality is lost: the image is stored in the PDF without lossy compression.

How do I convert TIFF to PDF?

Click Select File or drop your TIFF file onto the upload box. The converted PDF appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.

Are my files stored?

Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.

Will quality drop?

For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.

How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
