How do I use PDF to TIFF online?

Upload your PDF file using the box above — drag it in, browse for it, or bring it in from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. A preview appears so you can check you've picked the right file. Press convert, then download your TIFF. You can rename it first if you'd like.

Is my file secure when I use PDF to TIFF?

Yes. The file you send to PDF to TIFF travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is processed automatically on our servers. It is never made public, never shared with anyone, and nobody reads it.

Does HuntPDF store my files after PDF to TIFF has run?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment PDF to TIFF finishes with it, and the file it produces is removed as soon as you have downloaded it, or when you upload another file, or when you close the page. Nothing is kept, and nothing is used to train anything.

Will the original quality and formatting be maintained?

Yes. PDF to TIFF is built to leave your content exactly as it is — only the change you asked for is applied. Nothing else about the file is altered or re-compressed.

Can I use PDF to TIFF on mobile?

Yes. PDF to TIFF works in any modern browser on phones and tablets — iPhone, iPad or Android — with nothing to install. You can upload straight from your device or from your cloud storage.

Can I rename my file before downloading it from PDF to TIFF?

Yes. The file PDF to TIFF gives you back keeps the name of the file you uploaded by default. If you'd rather call it something else, edit the name in the field next to the download button before you save it.

Do I need to install any software to use PDF to TIFF?

No. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for — PDF to TIFF is used from your browser and does the work on our servers, so it behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

How long does PDF to TIFF take?

Most files are finished in a few seconds. A large or page-heavy file takes a little longer, because PDF to TIFF runs on our servers rather than on your device — but you won't be waiting around. You can upload files up to 250MB.

Is PDF to TIFF free to use?

Yes. PDF to TIFF is free, with no signup, no watermark on the result and no daily limit for normal use.

Why convert PDF to TIFF?

Mostly because a printer, archive or records system asks for TIFF. It is widely supported in professional imaging and document software.

Do I get one TIFF per page?

Yes. Each page is its own TIFF file, and they arrive together in a ZIP for multi-page PDFs.

Why are the TIFF files so big?

TIFF usually keeps image data with little or no lossy compression. A page that is 200 KB as a JPG can be a few megabytes as a TIFF.

Can I pick other formats besides PDF to TIFF?

Yes. If the TIFFs are too heavy for where they are going, set the format menu on the Image row to JPG or PNG, or HEIC for Apple devices, and convert again.

Will PDF to TIFF work with a scanned PDF?

Yes. Scanned pages convert to TIFF like any other page, so you get each scanned page as a picture.

Can I convert several PDFs to TIFF?

Yes. A batch of case files is processed one after another, and the results are listed separately so each can be saved or renamed.

Where PDF to TIFF is used

TIFF is common in printing, scanning and records management because it can store images without lossy compression, and many older document systems were built around it. Some legal and insurance upload portals still accept nothing else.

It is also a sensible format when a page is going to be worked on in image software such as Photoshop or GIMP and you want to avoid JPG artefacts.

Things to know about PDF to TIFF

TIFF files are large, often several megabytes per page. That is normal for the format, but check the upload limit of the system you are sending to before converting a long document.

If the pages are headed for a website, a chat or an email, JPG or PNG from the same format menu will be much lighter. For a scanned PDF you want to keep as a document, OCR PDF is usually more useful than images.
