How to Convert PDF to TIFF

Print shops, archives, and document management systems tend to ask for TIFF specifically rather than JPG or PNG, since it preserves every bit of detail without lossy compression.

Steps

1. Open PDF to TIFF and drop your PDF above (or click to select).
2. Choose a resolution (300 DPI is common for print/archive).
3. Click Convert, then download the images — all pages at once as a .zip.

Resolution for archiving vs. screen use

For archiving or print, 300 DPI is the standard choice and captures enough detail for reproduction. 150 DPI is fine if the images are only going to be viewed on screen. Whatever resolution you pick, each page is encoded losslessly — TIFF doesn’t throw away image data the way a compressed format does, so what you get is a faithful copy of the rendered page.

One file per page

Each page of the PDF becomes its own separate TIFF file, and you can download them individually or grab the whole set at once as a ZIP — convenient when a document system expects one image file per page rather than a multi-page container.

Notes

Rendering runs in a background worker so long documents won’t freeze the tab, and everything is processed locally — nothing is uploaded. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. If TIFF is overkill and you just need something easy to share, PDF to JPG produces much smaller files; to shrink the source PDF itself, use Compress PDF.
