TIFF to PDF, explained
Turn a single scan or a multipage TIFF into a PDF you can open in a document viewer. Select the TIFF pages you need, combine them in document order, and choose a paper layout before downloading. The PDF contains pictures of the scanned pages; it does not add searchable text or preserve the original TIFF’s print profile.
Add your .tif or .tiff files and check the detected page counts. Keep Convert all pages, or choose Selected pages and enter a range.
Keep Combine all images into one PDF selected. Choose A4 or Letter for standard paper, and Fit to keep scan edges visible. Reorder input files before converting.
Convert and download images.pdf. Open it in a PDF viewer and check page count, order, margins and small text before sending it.
Keep the pages in a multipage scan
A TIFF can hold more than one scanned page. Convert all pages includes each supported page; First page intentionally discards the rest from the output. Selected pages accepts ranges such as 1, 3-5 and keeps the selected pages in document order. The same selection applies to every TIFF in the batch, so convert files separately when they need different ranges.
One combined document or separate PDF files
With Combine all images into one PDF checked, selected pages from the first file come before pages from the next file. Drag files or use the arrow controls to change file order. Uncheck the option for separate PDF results for the decoded pages. Use the PDF page tools linked below if you need to rearrange individual pages after conversion.
Fit a scan onto A4 or Letter without cropping
Choose a standard page size, orientation and margins, then use Fit to keep the whole scan. Fill covers the page area by cropping excess edges, which can remove page numbers or signatures. Fit image instead maps one decoded pixel to one PDF point before margins; it does not use the scanner’s DPI tag to recreate physical paper size. Choose A4 or Letter when print dimensions matter.
Scanned text stays an image
Pages are decoded and embedded as raster images. This tool does not perform OCR, produce PDF/A, preserve TIFF layers or retain original high-bit-depth samples. Text that was only pixels in the TIFF remains pixels in the PDF. Inspect small lettering at normal reading size and keep the TIFF if you need an archival source or later OCR.
Unsupported TIFF variants and batch limits
CMYK, embedded ICC profiles and unsupported bit depths are rejected rather than silently treated as ordinary sRGB scans. Export an 8-bit sRGB copy without an embedded profile from an appropriate image editor when needed. PDF batches allow up to 50 output pages, 64 MB per input file and 128 MB combined input. Decoded pages must fit the 24-megapixel and 16,384-pixel-per-side limits; a small compressed TIFF can still require substantial memory.
