How to Convert TIFF to PDF (Scans, Faxes and Multi-Page Files)
Turn TIFF scans and faxes into PDF documents for free. Handles single and multi-page TIFFs, keeping resolution and clarity.
TIFF is the workhorse format of document scanning, faxing, and archiving. Banks, law offices, and government agencies have been saving scans as TIFF for decades. It is lossless — it stores every bit of image detail — and a single TIFF file can hold many pages, which is why multi-page contracts and records often arrive in this format.
But a multi-page TIFF is awkward to share and print the way a PDF is. Turning your TIFF scans into a PDF makes the document universally readable, easier to send, and simpler to merge with other files.
Why convert TIFF to PDF?
- PDFs are the universal standard for sharing and printing business documents
- A PDF is easier to email, sign, and archive than a raw TIFF
- You can merge scanned pages with other PDFs — Word exports, slides, more scans
- PDF is the format courts, agencies, and clients expect to receive
Convert TIFF to PDF in your browser (free)
You can convert TIFF to PDF without installing any software:
- 1Open the TIFF to PDF tool.
- 2Drag your TIFF files into the tool, or click to browse and select them.
- 3Add multiple TIFFs — even multi-page ones — to combine everything into one PDF.
- 4Click convert.
- 5Download your PDF. Each page of each TIFF becomes a page in the document.
The process runs locally in your browser, so your scanned documents never leave your device.
Single-page vs multi-page TIFF
| Type | What it is | Why convert |
|---|---|---|
| Single-page TIFF | One scan per file | Bundle many scans into one document |
| Multi-page TIFF | Several scans inside one file | Split or convert to a normal multi-page PDF for easy sharing |
Multi-page TIFFs are very common from older scanners and fax machines. Converting them to PDF keeps all the pages together in a file that any reader can open — no special TIFF viewer needed.
Converting scanned TIFF documents
If your TIFF came from a scanner and is an image of text (rather than a real text file), you may want to make the text searchable afterward. Convert the TIFF to PDF first, then run it through OCR so you can search, select, and copy the text inside the document.
After converting, what next?
Once your scans are a PDF, you can merge them with electronic documents, rotate pages, add page numbers, or compress the file before emailing it. Every step works in your browser with no sign-up and no file size limits.

What is a TIFF file?+
TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is a lossless image format widely used for scanning, faxing, and archiving. It stores images with no quality loss and can hold multiple pages in one file.
Can a multi-page TIFF become a multi-page PDF?+
Yes. When you convert a multi-page TIFF, each page becomes a separate page in the resulting PDF, all in the single document.
Will the scan quality be reduced in the PDF?+
No. TIFF is lossless, and converting it to PDF preserves the full image quality and detail.
Why does my TIFF file open in the wrong program?+
TIFF files sometimes open in image editors instead of PDF viewers. Converting to PDF gives you a document that always opens correctly in any PDF reader.
Is my scanned document uploaded to a server?+
No. In a local browser converter, the TIFF is processed on your device and never uploaded.
