TIFF is still the default output of many scanners and fax systems, and a single .tif file often holds several pages. Most people cannot open that easily, and email clients rarely preview it. This converter reads every page of a multi-page TIFF and puts them in one PDF, in order, with each page sized from the resolution stored in the TIFF so that an A4 scan prints at A4.

Yes, in the order they are stored. Reduced-size thumbnail copies that some scanners add are recognised and left out, so they do not appear as extra pages.

Each page is stored in the PDF as a high-quality JPEG. Black-and-white fax TIFFs use a special two-colour compression that is extremely compact, and a JPEG of the same page is usually larger. For colour and greyscale scans the PDF is often similar in size or smaller.

No. A scan is a picture of text. Run the PDF through OCR afterwards if you need to search or copy it.

The page size is calculated at 96 dots per inch, which may make pages print larger than the original. Most scanners do record their resolution, so this is uncommon.

How it works
  1. 1

    Add the TIFF

    Drop a .tif or .tiff file. Several files each become their own PDF.

  2. 2

    Convert

    Every page is decoded and placed on a PDF page of the same physical size. Embedded thumbnail images are skipped.

  3. 3

    Download

    The PDF downloads directly, or several arrive in a ZIP.

Pro tips
  • ·If the PDF is going to a size-limited upload form, compress it after converting.
  • ·Check the page count in the PDF against the scanner's count; a mismatch usually means the TIFF was saved as separate files.
