Files
These sample files are generated on the page. Convert them to try it out, or add your own.
Click “Choose TIFF files” or drop them on the page. You can add several at once.
PDF is already selected. Choose the page size: A4, Letter or the exact image size.
Click “Convert”, then download your PDF. With several images you get a single multi-page PDF (untick the option for one PDF per image).
Every page of the TIFF becomes a page of the PDF, in the same order, up to 500 pages per file: beyond that, a message says so instead of producing an incomplete PDF. The preview thumbnails some programs tuck inside a TIFF are ignored, so they do not create extra pages. Add several TIFFs with “One PDF for all images” ticked to combine them into one document, in the order you added them.
By default, each page is placed on an A4 sheet, portrait or landscape to match its shape, with a margin of about 1 cm. The “Image size” option gives each page, with no margin, its original size, worked out from the resolution recorded in the TIFF: an A4 scan at 300 dpi gives an A4 page again. A TIFF that records no resolution is counted at 96 pixels per inch: for a 300 dpi scan, the page would then be about three times as wide and as tall as A4, so keep A4.
A high-quality image format widely used for printing, scanning and archiving; one file can hold several pages. It keeps every detail, but files are large and not suited to the web.
A document format created by Adobe in 1993 and now an ISO standard. The layout looks the same on every device, which makes it the reference format for sharing, signing and printing.
No, it weighs about the same. A black-and-white page is stored in the PDF at one bit per pixel and a greyscale page stays grey, losslessly in both cases; only colour pages are stored as JPEG (92% quality).
In most cases, not yet: faxes and many document scanners use a specific compression (CCITT) that Formatomat cannot read. Open the file in an image viewer that can display it, save it as an LZW TIFF or a PNG, then convert that new file to PDF.
No. The file is read and converted by your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is kept after you close the page.
Very little. A colour page is stored as a 92% quality JPEG (losslessly if it has transparency); a black-and-white or greyscale page, such as a scan, is stored losslessly, at one bit per pixel for black and white.
As many as you like, for free and without signing up. Add them all, then download the results one by one or in a single ZIP. The maximum size depends on your device and browser, with a few caps that protect its memory (for example 20,000 files per archive or 5 million filled cells per workbook: see the home page FAQ); a file over one of them is not converted, and a message says so.
Formatomat is designed for recent browsers on computers, iPhone and Android, with no app to install. A conversion the browser cannot do (a format it cannot read or write) is refused with a message that says so.
