About TIFF to PDF
TIFF to PDF places TIFF images into a PDF in the order of your list, one PDF page for every page of every file, so a multi-page scan arrives complete. The tool decodes each TIFF itself instead of relying on the browser, so it works the same in every current browser, and embeds every page losslessly as PNG with its pixel dimensions unchanged.
TIFF files are decoded in the browser and written straight into the new PDF. Even large plan scans are never uploaded anywhere, and the originals on disk are left untouched.
How to use TIFF to PDF
- Add your TIFF files — up to a hundred per run, in any browser.
- Put the list in order with “Move up” and “Move down”; it becomes the page order of the PDF.
- Under “Page Size” choose “Fit to Image” so each page matches its image, or A4 or Letter with portrait or landscape orientation and a narrow margin.
- Click “Convert to PDF” and save the result with “Download”.
On a production
Building surveys and floor plans for a location arrive as TIFFs, because that is what architectural scanners produce. Nobody on a recce can open one on a phone. Converting the set to PDF makes the plans viewable by everyone who needs them without special software.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it work in Chrome, Edge or Firefox?
- Yes. Most browsers cannot display a TIFF, so the tool does not ask them to: it reads the file with its own decoder, in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari alike, on a computer or a phone. It handles the compression schemes scanners use — uncompressed, LZW, PackBits, Deflate, JPEG and CCITT fax (Group 3 and 4).
- How are multi-page TIFFs handled?
- Every page becomes its own PDF page, in the order it has in the file, and the next file in your list follows after the last page. Thumbnail previews that some scanners store alongside the pages are left out.
- Does converting reduce the image quality?
- The pixel dimensions stay the same and each page is embedded losslessly as PNG, but it is converted to 8-bit RGB on the way. 16-bit scans lose bit depth and CMYK files lose their print colour space, so keep the original for a print bureau.
