The design principles behind this tool — and what to look for in any PDF-to-TIFF converter you use.
This tool writes genuine TIFF binaries with proper IFD tags, strip data, and resolution metadata — not a renamed image.
Pages render with PDF.js and encode to TIFF in your browser, then pack into a ZIP — your PDF never touches a server.
Pick 72–300 DPI, RGB or grayscale, and white or transparent backgrounds, so the output fits print, archive, or design needs.
Preview every page, choose exactly which to convert, and download them all in a single ZIP — or grab one page at a time.
Fast, private, and fully browser-based — everything you need to turn PDF pages into professional-grade TIFF images.
prefers-color-scheme — easy on the eyes day or night.From upload to download in under a minute. No sign-up, no software installation required.
Each export option shapes your final images. Here's what they do and when to use them.
Smallest files, fastest export. Good for on-screen viewing, web previews, or quick sharing where print sharpness isn't needed.
The balanced default. Crisp on screen and acceptable for casual printing, with sensible file sizes. Best all-round choice.
Sharper detail for diagrams and small text. A good middle ground when 150 looks soft but 300 is more than you need.
The print-industry standard. Use for documents you'll print at full size, archive, or place into professional layouts.
RGB keeps full colour. Grayscale converts to shades of gray — smaller files, ideal for text documents and scanning archives.
White gives print-ready pages. Transparent leaves empty areas clear for overlays and compositing in image editors.
For the curious: a look at exactly what the tool does between the moment you drop your PDF and the moment your TIFF ZIP downloads.
When you drop or select a PDF, the browser hands it to JavaScript as a Blob, then an ArrayBuffer. The bytes never touch the network — they exist only in your tab's memory.
Mozilla's PDF.js opens the byte array, decodes its internal object tree, and exposes each page as a renderable object with its dimensions and content.
Each page is drawn onto an off-screen canvas at 0.5× scale and saved as a small JPEG data URL, so the preview grid loads fast.
Every page starts selected. Tick or untick pages, or use Select All / Deselect All — the live stats bar tracks your choices.
Your DPI scale, colour mode, and background choice are read when you export — change them and re-export without re-uploading.
On export, each selected page renders to a canvas at your chosen scale. White backgrounds fill the canvas first; grayscale applies a luminance transform.
The canvas's raw RGBA pixel data is read with getImageData and repacked into the sample layout TIFF expects (RGB or single-channel gray).
A little-endian TIFF header, a 12-entry IFD with tags for width, height, bits, compression, photometric, strips, and resolution, then the pixel strip is written.
For batch download, JSZip writes each TIFF into a ZIP archive in memory, named with your prefix and a zero-padded page number.
The finished ZIP is offered as a Blob download. Single-page downloads skip the ZIP and save the TIFF directly. Nothing is uploaded.
Understanding the Tagged Image File Format explains why it's the go-to choice for print, archiving, and professional imaging.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) stores an image alongside a directory of tags — small records describing the width, height, bit depth, colour interpretation, and resolution. That tag-based design (the IFD, or Image File Directory) is what makes TIFF so flexible and reliable: software reads the tags to know exactly how to interpret the pixels.
Unlike JPEG, TIFF can store pixels with no lossy compression at all — which is exactly what this tool does. Every pixel is preserved precisely, with no compression artifacts around text or fine detail. That fidelity is why TIFF is trusted for master copies, scanning, and print.
TIFF has been a fixture of professional imaging since the late 1980s. It's the preferred format for print prepress, publishing, photography master files, medical imaging, fax, and long-term document archiving, because it's stable, well-documented, and universally supported by serious imaging software.
PNG is also lossless and great for the web, but TIFF carries richer metadata, supports professional colour and multi-page workflows, and is the expected format in print and archival pipelines. JPEG is smaller but lossy — fine for photos on screen, wrong for master copies. For a high-fidelity page image destined for print or preservation, TIFF is the natural target.
A PDF page is a set of drawing instructions, not pixels. To make a TIFF, those instructions are rasterized onto a pixel grid at your chosen DPI, then the raw pixels are wrapped in a TIFF container. Higher DPI uses a larger grid, capturing more detail at the cost of a bigger file. This tool does all of that — render and encode — entirely in your browser.
How a fixed-layout document format and a professional image format ended up paired in browser-based conversion.
Turning PDF pages into TIFF images unlocks professional print, archive, and imaging tasks. Here's where it helps most.
Hand a printer high-resolution 300 DPI TIFFs of each page — the format print shops expect for reliable output.
Preserve pages as lossless TIFFs for long-term records, the standard format for archives and records management.
Open a page as a TIFF in Photoshop or Affinity Photo to retouch, composite, or annotate at full fidelity.
Feed TIFF pages into legacy fax, OCR, and scanning workflows that expect the format natively.
Supply lossless TIFF page images to imaging and records systems that require uncompressed fidelity.
Place page images into layout software as TIFFs, the trusted format for books, magazines, and catalogues.
Produce TIFF page images for court filings, evidence, and records systems that mandate the format.
Keep a lossless master of a document or artwork page as a TIFF before any further edits.
Use TIFF page images in scientific imaging and mapping tools that read the format directly.
Extract a chart or figure page as a high-res TIFF to drop into a print-quality report.
Convert a page to TIFF, then mark it up with arrows and notes in a professional editor before sharing.
Generate clean TIFF page images as input for OCR engines that work best with lossless source images.
Submit figures or scanned pages as TIFFs where journals and institutions require the format.
Convert CAD or blueprint PDF pages into high-DPI TIFFs for plotting and archival.
Render pages at 300 DPI as TIFF for posters and banners that need crisp detail at scale.
Feed TIFF page images into enterprise content systems that ingest images rather than PDFs.
Four ways to hold a document page. Here's how they compare so you pick the right output format.
| Property | 🖼️ TIFF | 🟦 PNG | 📷 JPG | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossless | Lossy | Mixed |
| Sharp text & lines | Excellent | Excellent | Fuzzy edges | Vector |
| Print / prepress | Standard | OK | OK | Yes |
| Archival use | Standard | Common | Rare | Common |
| Rich metadata tags | Yes | Limited | EXIF | Yes |
| File size | Large | Medium | Small | Varies |
| Web support | Poor | Universal | Universal | Viewer |
| Pro imaging apps | Native | Native | Native | Import |
| Best for | Print & archive | Web & design | Photos online | Whole documents |
Small choices that make a noticeable difference in how your exported TIFF files turn out.
72–150 DPI for screen and archive, 300 DPI for print. Picking the right DPI keeps files manageable when you don't need detail.
For black-and-white text pages, grayscale mode cuts file size by roughly two-thirds versus RGB, with no visible loss.
Choose the transparent background when you'll layer the page over another design. Use white for standalone print pages.
A prefix like invoice produces invoice_01.tiff, invoice_02.tiff — far easier to organise than generic names.
Untick blank or irrelevant pages before exporting to keep your ZIP lean and avoid extra files to delete later.
Click a thumbnail to open the full-size preview and confirm the page is the one you want — especially in long documents.
For a single page, use that page's Download TIFF button instead of the ZIP — it saves the image directly.
Change the DPI dropdown and download again — the PDF stays loaded, so there's no need to re-upload.
Uncompressed TIFFs are large. A 300 DPI colour page can be 20–40 MB — only use it for pages that truly need print resolution.
A TIFF is an image — text isn't selectable. Feed the TIFF into an OCR tool if you need to recover editable text.
Because TIFFs are uncompressed, big documents make big ZIPs. Export a range of pages at a time on modest devices.
TIFF export is one-way. Keep the original PDF so you can re-export at different settings whenever you need.
Turning document pages into lossless TIFF images is routine work across many professional fields.
Rasterize PDF pages to 300 DPI TIFFs for reliable prepress and plotting workflows.
Place page images into layout software as TIFFs for books, magazines, and catalogues.
Preserve documents as lossless TIFFs, the standard for long-term records and digital preservation.
Produce TIFF page images for court filings and evidence systems that mandate the format.
Supply lossless TIFF images to medical records and imaging systems requiring full fidelity.
Bring page images into Photoshop or Affinity Photo as TIFFs to retouch and composite.
Keep lossless TIFF masters of document or artwork pages before further editing.
Convert invoices, forms, and contracts to TIFF for systems that ingest images rather than PDFs.
Use TIFF page images in scientific imaging, GIS, and analysis tools that read the format.
Convert CAD and blueprint PDF pages to high-DPI TIFFs for plotting and archival.
Feed TIFF page images into document management and records-retention systems.
Submit figures and scanned pages as TIFFs where journals and institutions require it.
Transparency matters. Here's exactly what happens when you use this converter.
This tool uses PDF.js by Mozilla to render pages and a built-in JavaScript TIFF encoder to write the image files, with JSZip packaging them — all of which run entirely inside your browser tab. Your PDF is read from your device, rasterized and encoded in memory, and downloaded back to you without ever leaving your machine.
That means the tool never needs to upload your file to a server to convert it. Speed depends on your device's CPU and memory, not on a remote service.
Although the conversion logic is local, modern websites do receive normal browser metadata such as your IP address, user agent, and referrer. If you're working with sensitive material — contracts, IDs, medical records — it's always smart to verify how a tool behaves. You can open your browser's developer tools and inspect the Network tab while converting to confirm no PDF data is being sent externally.
For background reading on browser security and safe handling of personal files, see the Electronic Frontier Foundation's privacy resources.
When you close the tab or clear the PDF, the file bytes and generated TIFFs are discarded automatically. There's no account, no cloud storage, no history. Save your downloaded images before closing the tab if you want to keep them.
Don't take our word for it. Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to open developer tools, switch to the Network tab, then drop a PDF and run a conversion. You'll see the page's own assets loading, but no outbound request carrying your PDF bytes — the hallmark of a true client-side tool.
Because this tool writes uncompressed TIFFs, files are larger than JPG or PNG. Here are rough expectations for a standard A4/Letter page.
| DPI Setting | Scale | Approx. Pixels (A4) | Grayscale TIFF | RGB TIFF | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 1× | ~595 × 842 | ~0.5 MB | ~1.5 MB | Screen, previews |
| 150 DPI | 2× | ~1190 × 1684 | ~2 MB | ~6 MB | Standard, archive |
| 216 DPI | 3× | ~1785 × 2526 | ~4.5 MB | ~13 MB | High-detail |
| 300 DPI | 4× | ~2380 × 3368 | ~8 MB | ~24 MB | Print, prepress |
Figures are approximate. Uncompressed TIFF size depends almost entirely on pixel dimensions, not page content.
A lot of confusion surrounds converting PDFs to TIFF images. Here are the most common myths and the truth.
A TIFF is a flat image — the text becomes pixels and is no longer selectable or searchable. Use OCR if you need real text back.
Some do, but this one renders and encodes entirely in your browser. Confirm it in the DevTools Network tab in seconds.
This tool writes a genuine TIFF binary — proper header, IFD tags, strip data, and resolution metadata — not a relabeled file.
Beyond your screen or printer's capability, extra DPI just bloats the file with no visible benefit. Match DPI to the destination.
TIFF here is lossless and print-grade; JPG is lossy and web-grade. For master copies and print, only TIFF preserves full fidelity.
This tool never adds watermarks. Your exported TIFFs are clean and ready for professional use immediately.
Every page has a checkbox. Convert one page, a few, or all — and grab single pages without making a ZIP.
They convert fine — a scanned PDF is already images, so rasterizing to TIFF works. You just won't get selectable text.
If your output doesn't look the way you expected, one of these is usually the cause.
The file may not be a valid PDF, or it's password-encrypted. Fix: confirm the file opens in a normal PDF reader. For encrypted PDFs, remove the password in a PDF app first, then upload the unprotected copy.
You exported at a low DPI for a use that needs detail. Fix: raise the DPI to 216 or 300 and export again — the PDF stays loaded, so it's instant.
Uncompressed TIFFs are large, especially RGB at 300 DPI. Fix: switch to grayscale for text documents, drop the DPI for screen use, or convert only the pages you actually need.
Many high-DPI TIFFs use a lot of memory. Fix: lower the DPI, select fewer pages per export, or close other tabs to free memory, then export in batches.
Some basic image viewers and browsers don't display TIFF. Fix: open it in a TIFF-aware app like Photoshop, GIMP, IrfanView, Preview (Mac), or Windows Photos.
That's expected — TIFF is an image, so text becomes pixels. Fix: if you need editable or searchable text, run the PDF through OCR or use a PDF-to-text tool instead.
This tool's transparent option leaves the canvas unfilled; some TIFF viewers render that as black. Fix: if you want a solid background, switch the setting to White and re-export.
A browser pop-up or download blocker may have intercepted it. Fix: allow downloads for this site, or use each page's single Download TIFF button instead of the ZIP.
