Why Convert PDF to TIFF?
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a standard in the printing and publishing industries. It's a versatile format that can be lossless, preserving all the original image data, which is critical for professional workflows.
- Archival: TIFF is an excellent choice for archiving important documents and images because its lossless compression ensures that no data is lost over time or through repeated saves.
- High-Quality Printing: The print industry relies on TIFF for its ability to store high-resolution images with rich color data (like CMYK) without quality degradation.
- Scanning: Many high-end document scanners save to the TIFF format by default to capture the most accurate representation of the original document.
How to Convert PDF to TIFF
- Upload PDF File: Drag and drop your PDF, or click to select a file. The tool will load the document and generate page previews.
- Choose Conversion Mode:
- Select "Convert Pages to TIFF" to render pages as images.
- Select "Extract Embedded Images" to pull out existing images and convert them to TIFF.
- Select Pages (if converting): If you chose to convert pages, click on the thumbnails of the pages you want, or use the input box to specify ranges (e.g., "1-3, 5").
- Adjust Settings (Optional): Add a prefix or suffix for the output filenames.
- Convert: Click the "Convert" or "Extract" button to start the process.
- Download: Download your generated TIFF files individually or all at once in a ZIP archive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the converted TIFF files have a transparent background?
Yes. The TIFF format supports an alpha channel for transparency. When using the "Convert Pages to TIFF" mode, any area of the PDF page that does not have content will be rendered as transparent in the final TIFF file, similar to a PNG.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing, including PDF parsing, page rendering, and image extraction, is performed directly in your web browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.
How does this tool create TIFF files in the browser?
Modern browsers cannot natively save images in the TIFF format. This tool works by rendering the PDF page to a high-quality, transparent PNG format in memory and then packaging that data into a file with a `.tiff` extension. Most professional graphics software (like Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) will correctly interpret this file as a TIFF with an alpha channel.
Can this tool create multi-page TIFFs?
No, this tool creates one TIFF file for each page or extracted image you select. It does not combine multiple pages into a single multi-page TIFF file. You can, however, download all the generated TIFFs together in a single ZIP file.
