What DPI should I choose?
200 to 300 DPI is standard for text documents and OCR. Go higher only if you are reproducing fine detail or photographs.

PDF to TIFF
Render PDF pages to TIFF at a resolution you choose. TIFF is the format most document-management, fax and archival systems expect, and it is still the standard for high-resolution print scanning. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

How it works
What happens to your file.
Pages are rasterised at your chosen DPI and written as TIFF images, with multi-page documents delivered as a ZIP.
Where it stops: TIFF is uncompressed or lightly compressed by design, so files are large. 300 DPI is usually the right balance for document work; 600 DPI doubles quality claims and quadruples file size.

Questions
Common questions.
Why are the files so large?
TIFF prioritises fidelity over compression. If size matters more than archival fidelity, PNG or WebP output will be far smaller.
Do I get one TIFF or one per page?
One image per page, delivered together as a ZIP for multi-page documents.
