TIFF vs PDF: Technical Overview
Why Convert TIFF to PDF?
Sharing scanned documents. Offices, law firms, medical practices and archives often have years of scans stored as TIFF, and the people receiving them expect PDF. Many portals only accept PDF, and email recipients on phones can't easily page through a multi-page TIFF.
PDF also makes documents easier to manage: it can be combined with other PDFs, annotated, signed, and read in any browser. For archives, PDF (and its archival variant PDF/A) has become the standard for scanned records, while TIFF remains mainly an internal scanning format.

TIFF to PDF — Frequently Asked Questions
Are all pages of a multi-page TIFF converted?
Yes. Every page becomes a page in the PDF, in the same order.
Is there any quality loss?
No. Pages are stored with lossless compression, so the scans are exactly as sharp as the TIFF.
Will the PDF be larger than the TIFF?
Usually not. Uncompressed TIFFs often become noticeably smaller; already-compressed TIFFs stay similar in size.
Is the text in scanned pages searchable?
No, pages are kept as images. Convert the PDF to Word with OCR if you need editable text.
Can I convert TIF files too?
Yes. .tif and .tiff are the same format and both are supported.
