About TIFF to PDF
TIFF to PDF decodes one .tif or .tiff file, including multiple image directories, and creates one PDF page per decoded TIFF page. Orientation metadata is applied during pixel conversion. Pages become 8-bit RGBA PNG images before PDF embedding, so bilevel, high-bit-depth and specialised colour data are normalised rather than preserved in their original representation.

How to use TIFF to PDF
Add one TIFF
Drop a single-page or multi-page .tif or .tiff file.
Review decoded pages
The preview reports each page's decoded pixel dimensions.
Choose page geometry
Use Match image, A4 or Letter. Auto, Portrait and Landscape apply to fixed sheets.
Download
Press Download PDF. The output is an image-only PDF named after the TIFF.
Frequently asked questions about TIFF to PDF
Is the TIFF preserved losslessly?
The decoded visible pixels are stored as PNG, but the source representation is not preserved. All pages are flattened to 8-bit RGBA, so high bit depth, bilevel compression and some colour-space information are changed.
Does it make scanned text searchable?
No. The PDF contains images. OCR PDF is a separate recognition step.
Which TIFFs can fail?
Support depends on the UTIF decoder. Unusual compression, photometric modes or damaged directories may decode with shifted colour or fail; use the thumbnails as the visible check before download.
Why in-browser processing matters
Every PDFChamp tool runs inside this page: the file you choose is read by JavaScript in your own browser and is never sent to a server, so nothing is uploaded, queued, or stored anywhere. That removes the upload wait, the processing queue, and the question of what happens to your file afterwards — the PDFChamp overview compares this architecture with server-side PDF tools.
