About TIFF
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a flexible image format from 1986 that can store lossless or lossy images, several pages and high bit depths in one file.
Scanning, printing and publishing, and archiving master images.
Uncompressed or losslessly compressed TIFFs are very large, and most web browsers do not display TIFF.
Convert TIFF to PDF online free, no account required — PDF is the fixed-layout document standard.
Change TIFF to PDF without losing quality — convert TIFF to PDF free in your browser.
Why are my scanned TIFF files hundreds of megabytes? TIFF keeps every detail for print and archival, usually uncompressed — after the archive copy is safe, a JPG or PNG version is far easier to send and share.
About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the ISO 32000 standard for fixed-layout documents that look the same on every device.
Sharing, printing and archiving documents; here PDF is an output format for images, drawings and e-books.
This service only creates PDFs; editing, merging or converting existing PDFs is the job of NexDocs.
Why convert documents to PDF? The layout looks identical on every device and printer, which is exactly why forms, invoices and papers are exchanged as PDF.
What changes when you convert TIFF to PDF
- The TIFF image is placed at full resolution on a PDF page of the same size and its pixels are stored without further loss; transparent areas are filled with the background colour (white unless you choose another in the settings).
Settings you can change
Before you convert TIFF to PDF, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.
Limits
Each plan sets a maximum file size and a number of conversions per day, and video and audio files also have a maximum length. Guests can convert files up to 100 megabytes and 5 per day; a free account raises this to 500 megabytes and 25 per day; paid plans go up to 100 gigabytes.
Your converted PDF file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
