The formats
PDF and TIFF at a glance
What is a PDF file?
PDF is the standard format for sharing documents that should look the same everywhere. It fixes the layout, fonts, and images of every page, which is great for reading and printing but makes editing hard. A PDF can contain real text or only scanned pictures of pages. It opens in every browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Microsoft Edge on Windows, phones, and Google Drive.
What is a TIFF file?
TIFF is a flexible, high-quality image format used for printing, scanning, archiving, and professional photography. It's usually lossless and can hold several pages in one file, which is why scanners and fax software use it. Files are large, and most browsers can't display TIFF images. It opens in macOS Preview, Windows Photos, Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, and most scanning, printing, and fax software. Safari is the only major browser that shows it.
Good to know
What changes when you convert PDF to TIFF
- Each page becomes one TIFF image. A PDF with several pages downloads as a ZIP file, or you can save pages one by one.
- Text in the images can't be selected or searched, since it's now part of the picture.
- TIFF pages are saved uncompressed, so they're large but lossless.
- Password-protected PDFs ask for the password before converting.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is this PDF to TIFF converter free?
Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser with pdf-lib and Mozilla's pdf.js, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.
Can I convert several PDF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like. They're converted one after another, and you can download each TIFF file as soon as it's ready or all of them in one ZIP file.
Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers and phones.
What can open a TIFF file?
macOS Preview, Windows Photos, Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, and most scanning, printing, and fax software. Safari is the only major browser that shows it.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and most computers handle PDFs with hundreds of pages.
