TIFF vs PDF for Document Storage
TIFF is an archival image format widely used in professional scanning, medical imaging, and publishing. PDF is the universal document sharing format — searchable, encryptable, and readable on every device. Scanning workflows often produce TIFF files; converting to PDF makes them easier to share and upload to document management systems.
How to Convert TIFF to PDF
- Go to the TIFF to PDF converter.
- Upload your .tiff or .tif file (single-page or multi-page).
- Click Convert — ImageMagick renders each TIFF page and packages them into a single PDF.
- Download the PDF.
Multi-Page TIFFs
A multi-page TIFF contains multiple images in a single file (each page of a scanned document). Our converter handles multi-page TIFFs automatically — each page becomes a page in the PDF output.
File Size Notes
A single 300 DPI A4 TIFF is typically 25-30 MB. The PDF conversion compresses images, resulting in a 2-5 MB PDF for the same page.
