Lossless uncompressed TIFF: an A4 page is ≈ 8 MB at 144 DPI, ≈ 35 MB at 300 DPI, ≈ 139 MB at 600 DPI. High-DPI tiers convert fewer pages per file (10 at 300, 3 at 600) to stay within browser memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this PDF to TIFF converter?

Just three steps:

  1. Pick a resolution — 144, 300, or 600 DPI — below the drop zone
  2. Click the drop zone above or drag your PDF files onto it, then wait a few seconds for conversion
  3. Click "Save" to export each TIFF

How many pages of my PDF get converted?

Every page is converted. A multi-page PDF produces one TIFF per page, named like report-page-1.tiff, report-page-2.tiff… Use the Save ZIP button to grab all pages of a document in one file. Page limits depend on the resolution you pick to stay within browser memory: up to 50 pages at 144 DPI, 10 pages at 300 DPI, and 3 pages at 600 DPI.

What resolution is the output TIFF?

You choose the output resolution:

  • 144 DPI — screen: A4 ≈ 1191×1684 px, ≈ 8 MB/page. Default; good for on-screen viewing and email.
  • 300 DPI — print: A4 ≈ 2480×3508 px, ≈ 35 MB/page. The standard office-print resolution — meets most print-shop and OCR requirements.
  • 600 DPI — high-resolution archival: A4 ≈ 4961×7016 px, ≈ 139 MB/page. For archival masters and fine-detail scans.

Pixel size = PDF page size × DPI ÷ 72, exported as lossless uncompressed TIFF that every TIFF-capable app opens. 300 DPI is also the standard input resolution for OCR pipelines, and 600 DPI is what archival masters are kept at.

Can a PDF be 300 DPI? Do TIFF files have DPI?

A PDF itself has no fixed DPI — its pages are vector text and layout, and DPI only becomes defined when a page is rasterized (rendered into pixels). TIFF is a raster format: its DPI is the pixel density the image was rendered at, stored as metadata alongside the pixels. This converter sets that value: pick 300 DPI and every page is rasterized at 300 DPI, so the TIFF carries true print dimensions instead of an arbitrary default.

Why convert PDF to TIFF?

TIFF is the standard format for professional print pipelines, legal filings, tax submissions, medical records, and archival scanning — many government and institutional portals accept nothing else. Converting PDF to TIFF gives you a lossless raster image that can be embedded in design software, sent to legacy print hardware, or fed into OCR and image-processing pipelines that don't accept PDFs.

Will the output TIFF look exactly like the PDF?

Yes — we render the PDF page with PDF.js, which reproduces text, vector graphics, and embedded images exactly as they appear in the original. The result is rasterized at your chosen DPI into a lossless TIFF container.

Why is the output TIFF file so large?

TIFF stores every pixel losslessly and uncompressed — that is why print and archival pipelines trust it, and it means file sizes are big by design (an A4 page at 300 DPI is about 35 MB). If you need smaller files, convert the TIFF to PNG (still lossless, usually smaller for screenshots and graphics) or to JPG (much smaller for photos).

Do I get one multi-page TIFF or separate files?

Each page of your PDF becomes its own TIFF file, and the Save ZIP button bundles every page of a document into one download — the format most print shops and OCR pipelines ask for. This tool does not merge pages into a single multi-frame TIFF file.

How many PDF files can I convert at once?

Up to 50 PDF files per batch, each up to 500 MB (the exact caps are shown in the drop zone). Each document can have up to 50 pages at 144 DPI, 10 pages at 300 DPI, or 3 pages at 600 DPI, and Save ZIP extracts every page of every document into one download. All processing happens in your browser with no uploads.

What's the file size limit?

Up to 500 MB per file, shown in the drop zone. The limit you're more likely to hit is page count per document at high DPI — see the previous question.

Does my PDF need to be unprotected?

Yes — this tool only works with unencrypted PDFs. Password-protected or restricted PDFs must be unlocked first using your PDF viewer or a desktop tool. No password ever leaves your device.

Is this converter really private?

Yes! All conversion happens locally in your browser using PDF.js and UTIF. Your PDFs are never uploaded to any server — which means there is no server copy to delete. Nothing expires, nothing needs removing, and nothing was ever anywhere but your device.
