# PDF to TIFF Converter

> Convert a whole PDF into one multi-page TIFF, the format archives and scanners use.

PDF to TIFF Converter runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is parsed on your own device with pdf.js, each selected page is rendered to a canvas and encoded as TIFF. Nothing is uploaded, which is the reason to use this on a contract, a payslip or a medical letter.

## FAQ

### Is this one TIFF or one per page?

One. TIFF holds a chain of image directories, so a 40-page PDF becomes a single 40-page TIFF — which is what archives, fax systems and scanning workflows expect. Loose files per page defeats the point of choosing TIFF.

### Why is the file still large?

A TIFF holds full RGB pixels for every page — there is no page description underneath as in a PDF. Deflate compression is on by default and typically shrinks a document page by around ten times; turning it off produces strict baseline TIFF, which is roughly 6 MB per A4 page at 144 DPI. If size matters more than the format, PNG is lossless and smaller still.
