When this tool is useful
Sharing or printing ordinary TIFF scans in systems that accept PDF more readily than TIFF and do not require searchable text.
How local processing works
Each supported TIFF directory is decoded to browser pixels, fitted to a matching PDF page without OCR, and embedded in source order; the exported PDF is reopened to confirm its physical page count.
How to use it
- Prepare the source and limits: Keep an unchanged source and review the accepted format, dimensions, frame or page budget, and output choices. Sharing or printing ordinary TIFF scans in systems that accept PDF more readily than TIFF and do not require searchable text.
- Process locally: Run the documented bounded operation in this browser and stop when the decoder reports an unsupported structure. Each supported TIFF directory is decoded to browser pixels, fitted to a matching PDF page without OCR, and embedded in source order; the exported PDF is reopened to confirm its physical page count.
- Download and verify: Reopen the PDF beside the source in a TIFF-aware viewer, compare every physical page, orientation, crop, grayscale and color, confirm there are no missing or duplicate pages, and test printing if print size matters.
Important limitations
The PDF is image-only and does not add OCR, selectable text, tags, bookmarks, or archival conformance. Unsupported TIFF compression, high-bit-depth or unusual color data, extra channels, orientation edge cases, and oversized files can be rejected or rendered differently from specialist TIFF software.
Verify the downloaded result
Reopen the PDF beside the source in a TIFF-aware viewer, compare every physical page, orientation, crop, grayscale and color, confirm there are no missing or duplicate pages, and test printing if print size matters.
Private by design
Your files stay in this browser. The tool does not upload the source or output to our servers.
