Before you start
- Screen keeps the files small; Print (about 220 DPI) suits archives that ask for TIFF.
- Just need images to share? PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG give lighter files.

Chain it
Run this tool and the next one back to back — nothing to download in between.
How to do it
Add your file
Add the PDF you need as TIFF images. This is nearly always because something on the other side asks for TIFF specifically.
Set it up the way you want
Set the resolution. Higher means a sharper, heavier file; 300 dpi is what print and archive systems usually expect.
Download the result
Download the images — one file per page, packaged together when there is more than one.
Questions about PDF to TIFF
- Who still asks for TIFF?
- Document archives, fax gateways, court filing systems, medical records and print shops. TIFF is lossless and has been readable by the same software for thirty years, which is exactly what a system that must still open the file in 2050 cares about.
- Why is the file so big?
- Because TIFF is lossless: nothing is thrown away, unlike JPEG. A color A4 page at 300 dpi is around 25 MB before compression. If size matters more than fidelity, PDF to JPG will be a fraction of that.
- Can I get one multi-page TIFF instead of many files?
- Not from this tool — it writes one image per page. If the receiving system needs a single multi-page TIFF, say so when you send them, or keep the PDF, which is already the better container for multiple pages.
