What PDF to TIFF does
PDF to TIFF renders every page to RGBA canvas pixels and encodes each page as an individual TIFF. A one-page source downloads directly, while multiple TIFF files are placed in a ZIP rather than combined into one multi-page TIFF.
The 72–300 DPI control determines output dimensions. TIFF results can become large because the encoder works from full page pixel buffers, especially at high DPI or on documents with many pages.
How to use PDF to TIFF
- Choose one verified PDF no larger than 25 MB.
- Set a render DPI between 72 and 300.
- Convert the document and download the TIFF or ZIP, then verify page order and image size.
Important details
Multiple pages remain separate TIFF files
The ZIP contains one numbered TIFF per PDF page. The tool does not build a single multi-directory TIFF from a multi-page source.
Raster TIFF can be memory-intensive
Encoding requires access to every RGBA pixel on the page canvas. High DPI sharply increases memory and output size, and canvas safety bounds can reject unusually large pages.
Practical uses
- Create TIFF page images for an imaging workflow that accepts separate files.
- Export a PDF scan as numbered raster pages for further processing.
- Produce high-detail still representations of short document pages.
Privacy and limitations
PDF rendering, TIFF encoding, and ZIP creation happen on your device. PagesTools does not upload the document.
Input is limited to 25 MB and 100 pages with 72–300 DPI and canvas bounds. Multi-page output is a ZIP of separate TIFFs, not one multi-page TIFF; text and vectors are flattened, metadata is not reconstructed, and protected PDFs are rejected.
