About the formats
Portable Document Format
PDF makes a document look exactly the same on every device. It fixes fonts, images and page layout in place and is the shared language of official letters, invoices and applications.
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format
TIFF is the lossless image format of printing, scanning and archiving. One file can hold many pages, and scanners and fax systems often produce it.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PDF to TIFF free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.
What about multi-page PDFs?
All pages are gathered into one multi-page TIFF.
Does it work on a phone?

There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
