Tips & Tricks

Professional Print Standard

TIFF is a professional-grade format widely used in printing, publishing, and archival. It supports high bit depths and is the standard for document preservation.

When to Use TIFF

Choose TIFF for professional printing, document archival, and publishing workflows. It is the preferred format in the printing industry and for long-term document storage.

TIFF Best Practices

Use 300 DPI or higher for print-quality output. TIFF files can be very large — ensure you have adequate storage. It is best suited for professional workflows.

Common Use Cases

Professional Printing

Output at 300 DPI for professional print quality

Document Archiving

Archive important documents in the industry-standard format

Publishing Workflow

Prepare PDF pages for professional publishing pipelines

Legal Document Storage

Store legal documents in a preservation-grade format

High Bit Depth

FAQ

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the PDF.js rendering engine. Your PDF file never leaves your device, making this tool safe for sensitive or confidential documents.

What makes TIFF different from other formats?

TIFF is a professional format designed for printing and archival. It supports high bit depths and is the industry standard for document preservation. TIFF files are a better choice than PNG or JPEG for professional print workflows.

How do I select specific pages to convert?

You can convert All Pages, or use Custom Range by entering page numbers. Use commas for individual pages (e.g., 1,3,5) and hyphens for ranges (e.g., 1-5).

What DPI should I use?

72 DPI is standard for screen viewing and web use. 150 DPI offers a good balance of quality and file size. 300 DPI is recommended for high-quality printing. Higher DPI produces significantly larger files.

How many pages can I convert at once?

There is no hard limit on pages, but very large PDFs (200+ pages) at high DPI may consume significant memory. For best results, we recommend converting large PDFs in batches or at a lower DPI.

Why are TIFF files so large?

TIFF files can be very large because they use basic compression (via UTIF.js) rather than modern compression algorithms. At 300 DPI for print quality, TIFF files are significantly larger than PNG or WebP. They are best suited for professional archival rather than everyday sharing.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. Please remove the password protection before uploading.

What DPI should I use for archival TIFFs?

For long-term document archiving, 300 DPI is the standard; some institutions require 600 DPI for fine print. Because TIFF at these settings is very large, this tool lets you convert specific pages rather than whole documents.

Can I use TIFF for printing?

Yes. TIFF is the professional print and prepress standard — it supports high bit depth and lossless compression. Combine 300 DPI TIFF output with your printer's color requirements for best results.
