PDF to TIFF
Render each page of a PDF into a separate TIFF image at a DPI you choose. 150 DPI suits screen use and 300 DPI matches print. TIFF is the archival and prepress choice, and unlike the others it can hold every page in one multi-page file rather than a folder of separate images. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.
Vistalyth Tools runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Files processed with PDF to TIFF are never uploaded to third-party servers. Deploy a single Docker container and process files with full privacy, no watermarks, and no usage limits. Open source under AGPL-3.0.
Frequently asked questions
- What DPI should I pick?
- 150 for screens, 300 for print, 600 only if you plan to OCR small type afterwards. Higher DPI multiplies render time and file size quickly.
- Can I convert only some pages?
- Yes. Give a page range and only those pages render.
- Anything to watch with TIFF output?
- Ask for a single multi-page TIFF when the destination is an archive, rather than a folder of separate page images.
- Does this work on password-protected PDFs?
- Not directly. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first, then convert.
