About PDF to TIFF
PDF to TIFF renders each page as its own uncompressed TIFF image at the resolution you choose. The DPI setting controls the rendering resolution rather than resampling an already-rendered image, and it is written into each file, so the receiving software knows the intended print size.
Rendering runs in the browser and the resulting images are written locally. Archival material is not exposed to any external service.
How to use PDF to TIFF
- Open a PDF and select the pages to render.
- Set the DPI, checking any spec you were given before deciding.
- Render. Each page becomes its own uncompressed TIFF file.
- Download: one page arrives as a TIFF, several as a ZIP holding one TIFF per page.
On a production
Archives and print bureaux still specify TIFF, because it is lossless and has been stable for decades. Delivering to a spec that says TIFF with a PDF is the fastest way to have a job rejected on receipt.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I get one multi-page TIFF instead of separate files?
- Not from this tool: each page is written as its own single-page TIFF, and several pages arrive together in a ZIP. If a specification asks for one multi-page file, merge the pages afterwards with a TIFF utility such as libtiff's tiffcp or ImageMagick.
- Which compression is used?
- None. The pixels are stored uncompressed as 24-bit colour, which every TIFF reader opens and which loses nothing, at the cost of size: a 300 DPI A4 page takes about 26 MB. There is no compression setting to choose.
- Does the DPI setting resample the output?
- No. The page is rendered from its vector description at the resolution you set, so a higher DPI produces genuinely more detail rather than an enlarged version of a smaller render.
