What TIFF to PDF does
TIFF to PDF decodes every image directory in each selected TIFF and creates a PDF page for each decoded image. This preserves the sequence of multi-page scans as visual pages rather than using only the first directory.
Each page is normalized to RGBA pixels, encoded as PNG, and proportionally fitted onto portrait or landscape A4 dimensions. TIFF tags, compression, metadata, and layered structures are not copied into the PDF.
How to use TIFF to PDF
- Choose up to ten TIFF or TIF files, each no larger than 20 MB.
- Arrange the selected files in the desired document sequence.
- Create the PDF, check that every TIFF page decoded in order, and download it.
Important details
Multi-page TIFF directories are retained as pages
The decoder reads from one through 100 directories per TIFF and emits each as a separate PDF page. The combined document still cannot exceed the tool's 100-page limit.
Visual pixels are preserved, not TIFF structures
Every directory is flattened to raster pixels. Specialized TIFF tags, alternate resolutions, embedded profiles, annotations, and original compression are not preserved as editable metadata.
Practical uses
- Turn a multi-page scanned TIFF into a PDF for ordinary viewing.
- Combine several archival TIFF derivatives into a review packet.
- Prepare TIFF page images for printing through a PDF workflow.
Privacy and limitations
TIFF decoding and PDF packaging occur inside your browser. The image files are not sent to PagesTools.
No more than ten TIFF files of 20 MB each or 100 decoded pages can be processed. Unsupported TIFF compression or malformed directories may fail, and the output does not add OCR, searchable text, archival conformance, or TIFF metadata.
