Convert TIF to PDF
What is TIF?
TIF
TIF stores pixel data for professional imaging. Documents store text with formatting. While TIF images can be embedded in documents, the pixels don't contain extractable text without OCR processing.
- TIF stores pixel-based images, ideal for photographs and graphics requiring document embedding
- Embeds easily in document formats without quality loss
- Rectangular image bounds integrate cleanly into document layouts
- Fixed resolution determines final document print quality
What is PDF?
PDF stores pages containing text, vector graphics, and embedded images. While PDFs can include images, they're not pure image files—they contain selectable text, fonts, and scalable vector elements. Converting to image formats means rasterizing each page into pixels, losing text selectability, vector scalability, and interactive features like hyperlinks or form fields.
- PDF contains structured text and layout data that renders to fixed visual output
- Page layout determines final image dimensions and aspect ratio
- Multi-page structure allows conversion of each page to separate images
