PDF to TIFF: common questions
- Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
- No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.
- Is converting PDF to TIFF free?
- Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.
- Does converting PDF to TIFF lose quality?
- PDF and TIFF describe content in fundamentally different ways, so the conversion is a reconstruction rather than a copy. The result is faithful, but not byte-for-byte equivalent. The result is an image. Text in it is no longer selectable or searchable.
- Do I need to install anything to open TIFF files?
- No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the TIFF afterwards needs whatever software normally handles Tagged Image File Format on your device.
