Why Convert TIFF Scans to PDF?
Scanners, fax machines and document systems often save files as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). It's a high-quality format, but it has some downsides:
- Huge files. A single scanned page can be 10–50 MB.
- Poor support. Many phones, browsers and email apps can't preview TIFF.
- Hard to share. Upload forms usually want PDF or JPG.
PDF is the standard for documents. It opens everywhere, keeps pages in order and is accepted by almost every portal.
TIFF vs PDF

|---|---|---|
| Made for | Images, scans, print | Documents |

| Multiple pages | Yes | Yes |
| Typical size per scanned page | Very large | Smaller (with compression) |
| Accepted by upload forms | Rarely | Almost always |
About Multi-Page TIFF Files
Some TIFF files contain several pages, like a faxed contract. This converter reads the first page of each TIFF file. If your scans are saved as separate files, one per page, add them all and they'll become one multi-page PDF.
Get a Smaller PDF
Scanned pages get large fast. Pick Medium quality for documents that are mostly text. It keeps the words readable while shrinking the file a lot. Need to pull the text out of a scan? Try our image to text tool.
Private Document Conversion
Scans often contain private details: IDs, medical records, contracts and bank letters. This converter never uploads them. The PDF gets built inside your browser, on your own device.
