What is a PDF file?

PDF – PDF document. PDF is the document format that looks the same on every device: it fixes where each letter and picture goes on a page. It is made for reading and printing, not for editing.

Good to know

  • Each page of the PDF becomes a TIFF picture (one TIFF file holds all the pages). Pages are drawn at 150 dots per inch unless you choose otherwise in Options, and at most 200 pages are converted at once.
  • The text in the pictures cannot be selected or searched.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting PDF to TIFF free?

Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.

Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?

Plain text, Markdown, HTML and Word files, and PDFs turned into pictures or text, are converted inside your browser and never leave your device. Other conversions, and files over 200 MB, are sent to our server over an encrypted connection and deleted 72 hours after the conversion; the server has no internet access while it works on your file. The button says "Upload and convert" whenever that happens.

How large can the PDF file be?

Files up to 200 MB are converted right in your browser. Larger files, up to 1 GB, are converted on our server.

Will the TIFF look the same as the PDF?

The pages keep their text, pictures and layout. A PDF file that uses fonts the converter does not have is shown with similar ones, so lines can break in different places.

Can I convert several PDF files at once?

Yes. Add as many files as you like; they are converted one after another, and each one gets its own Download button.

Can I choose pages or quality for the TIFF?

Yes. Click Options next to the file. Only the settings that make sense for PDF to TIFF are shown, including which pages to convert.
