How to Convert TIFF to PDF

Updated July 13, 2026

TIFF is the workhorse format behind scanners, fax machines, and document archives — high quality, but not something you can email and expect the other person to open.

Steps

  1. Open TIFF to PDF and drop your TIFF images.
  2. Reorder them with the up and down buttons if needed — multi-page TIFFs keep their internal page order.
  3. Click Convert, then download your PDF.

Built for multi-page scans

A single TIFF can hold an entire scanned document across many internal pages, and this tool expands each one into its own PDF page automatically rather than treating the file as a single image. Add multiple TIFF files and arrange them with the up/down controls — list order sets where each file’s pages land in the final document.

Notes

Every page is re-encoded as a high-quality JPEG inside the PDF, so transparency becomes white and the result comes out far smaller than the source TIFF with no visible loss. Decoding runs entirely on your device, so even large scans are never uploaded. For a document you need to search or copy text from, run it through OCR PDF afterward; to trim the file size further, use Compress PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle multi-page TIFF files?
Yes. A TIFF can contain many pages (common for scans and faxes) — each internal page becomes its own page in the PDF, in order.
Do my images get uploaded anywhere?
No. The TIFF is decoded and converted entirely in your browser — your images never leave your device.
Will the file get smaller?
Usually. TIFF is often uncompressed or lightly compressed, so each page is re-saved as a high-quality JPEG inside the PDF, which is typically much smaller.
