Common questions

No. Every file you drop in is decoded and converted to TIFF entirely inside your browser, using your device’s own processing power. Your files are never sent anywhere, so there is nothing to upload, store, or later delete.

There is no fixed file-count cap. Because conversion happens locally, the only real limit is your own device’s memory. For very large batches we show a warning so you know before your browser runs out of headroom.

Three ways. "One file per PDF" (the default) keeps each PDF's pages together in its own TIFF. "One file per page" splits every page into its own single-page TIFF. "Combine into one file" (shown once you've added more than one PDF) merges everything into a single multi-page TIFF in the order you added the files. Anything with more than one output file is bundled together as a zip.

Each page inside a multi-page PDF becomes its own page in the resulting TIFF, in the same order as the source file.

Yes — choose "One file per page" as the output. Every page becomes its own single-page TIFF, and if there's more than one, they're all delivered together as a single zip download.

Yes, when converting a single PDF — use the From/To page fields to pick the exact range you want (they're bounded to that file's actual page count, so you always know how many pages there are). This option isn't shown when converting multiple PDFs at once, since one page range wouldn't make sense applied identically across different files — every page of every file converts in that case.

No. There is no account, no watermark, and no paywalled page or file-size limit.

Drop your PDF file (or a whole batch of them) into the converter on the home page, choose how you want the output organized (one file per PDF, one per page, or combined), optionally narrow a single file to specific pages, then download the result. Converting, changing, or saving a PDF as a TIFF this way takes seconds, since the file is processed entirely in your browser rather than on a server.

This tool is completely free to use — there is no sign-up, no watermark, and no page or file-size limit hidden behind a paywall. Just drop your PDF files into the converter and download your TIFF; you will never be asked to pay or create an account.

Yes. "Changing" a PDF file to TIFF, "turning" it into one, and "converting" it all mean the same thing here — drop the file in and it is rebuilt as a standard multi-page TIFF you can open in any TIFF-compatible viewer or feed into a TIFF-based system.

No — this tool only converts PDF to TIFF, not the other way around. If you need to go from TIFF to PDF, our sibling tool, TIFF to PDF Free, does exactly that, the same way: entirely in your browser.

PDF is a portable document format built for sharing: it opens identically on any device, can hold multiple pages in one file, and is what most upload portals expect. TIFF is an image format used mainly by scanners, archives, fax software, and print/prepress workflows — it stores pixel data with little or no compression, so files are large but nothing is lost — which is why older or specialized systems still expect a TIFF instead of a PDF.

TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. It is a flexible raster image format — the "tags" in its name refer to the metadata fields (resolution, compression, page count, and more) stored alongside the image data.

On Windows, the Photos and Paint apps can open TIFF files; on Mac, Preview opens them natively. Most web browsers cannot open a .tiff file directly, so it is normally opened in dedicated imaging, scanning, or document-management software instead.

Yes, in the configuration this tool produces: an uncompressed RGB TIFF, so no image quality is lost beyond whatever the source PDF page itself already contained.

TIFF's biggest drawback is file size — an uncompressed TIFF can be many times larger than a PDF or JPEG of the same page. TIFFs also are not well supported by web browsers or most everyday apps and cannot be viewed online without converting them first, which is exactly why this tool exists for the systems that still require one.
