Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes — convert TIFF to PDF free. Paid plans add larger files, batch and priority.
Why convert TIFF to PDF?+
TIFF is great for scanners and archives but awkward to share — many viewers and phones can't open it. A PDF opens everywhere and stays high quality.
Will the text be selectable?+
Yes — any text in the scan is read with Tesseract OCR and added as an invisible, selectable layer over the page, so the PDF is searchable.
