Install-Package IronPdf

Once correctly installed, you can immediately start converting PDF files to TIFF format using IronPDF's powerful image conversion methods.

How Can I Convert PDF Documents to TIFF Images in C#?

IronPDF offers multiple methods to convert PDF documents to TIFF images. Let's explore the primary approaches for this common task:

using IronPdf;
// Load an existing PDF document
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("document.pdf");
// Convert PDF pages to TIFF images using RasterizeToImageFiles
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);

using IronPdf;
// Load an existing PDF document
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("document.pdf");
// Convert PDF pages to TIFF images using RasterizeToImageFiles
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);

// Load the PDF document
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("report.pdf");
// Convert to TIFF images with specific settings
pdf.ToTiffImages("page_*.tif", 150); // 150 DPI resolution

using IronPdf;
// Load the PDF document
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("report.pdf");
// Convert to TIFF images with specific settings
pdf.ToTiffImages("page_*.tif", 150); // 150 DPI resolution

How Do I Create Multipage TIFF Files from PDFs?

Creating a multipage TIFF image consolidates all PDF pages into a single TIFF file, ideal for document management systems:

using IronPdf;
// Load the source PDF
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("multipage-document.pdf");
// Convert to multipage TIFF
pdf.ToMultiPageTiffImage("multipage.tiff");

using IronPdf;
// Load the source PDF
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("multipage-document.pdf");
// Convert to multipage TIFF
pdf.ToMultiPageTiffImage("multipage.tiff");

The ToMultiPageTiffImage method combines all PDF pages into one multipage TIFF file. You can adjust the DPI parameter to control output resolution. For more details on PDF compression techniques, check our comprehensive guide.

How Do I Convert PDF to TIFF in Visual Basic .NET?

IronPDF fully supports Visual Basic .NET with identical functionality to C#. Here's how to convert PDF to TIFF VB NET style:

Imports IronPdf ' Load PDF document
Dim pdf As PdfDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile("report.pdf")
' Convert to individual TIFF images
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("vb_output_*.tiff", ImageType.Tiff)
' Create multipage TIFF
pdf.ToMultiPageTiffImage("vb_multipage.tiff")
' Example of how you would use a loop and integer variable:
' Dim i As Integer
' For i = 0 To pdf.PageCount - 1
'     ' Process each page (the variable i is equivalent to int i in C#)
' Next
End Sub ' A common block terminator, though not strictly required here

Imports IronPdf ' Load PDF document
Dim pdf As PdfDocument = PdfDocument.FromFile("report.pdf")
' Convert to individual TIFF images
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("vb_output_*.tiff", ImageType.Tiff)
' Create multipage TIFF
pdf.ToMultiPageTiffImage("vb_multipage.tiff")
' Example of how you would use a loop and integer variable:
' Dim i As Integer
' For i = 0 To pdf.PageCount - 1
'     ' Process each page (the variable i is equivalent to int i in C#)
' Next
End Sub ' A common block terminator, though not strictly required here

Visual Basic developers can leverage all IronPDF imaging capabilities with familiar VB.NET syntax. The methods remain consistent across both languages, ensuring smooth integration into existing VB.NET projects. Similar to libraries like new GdPictureImaging or new GdPicturePDF, but with a more intuitive API and better documentation.

How Do I Process Specific PDF Pages?

Sometimes you need to convert only certain pages from a PDF document:

using IronPdf;
using System.Linq;
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("manual.pdf");
// Extract first page as TIFF
PdfDocument firstPage = pdf.CopyPage(0);
firstPage.RasterizeToImageFiles("first_page.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);
// Convert pages 5-10 to TIFF images
var pageRange = pdf.CopyPages(4, 9); // Zero-based indexing
pageRange.RasterizeToImageFiles("range_*.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);

using IronPdf;
using System.Linq;
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("manual.pdf");
// Extract first page as TIFF
PdfDocument firstPage = pdf.CopyPage(0);
firstPage.RasterizeToImageFiles("first_page.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);
// Convert pages 5-10 to TIFF images
var pageRange = pdf.CopyPages(4, 9); // Zero-based indexing
pageRange.RasterizeToImageFiles("range_*.tiff", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Tiff);

This approach allows selective conversion, useful when processing large PDF documents where only specific pages need TIFF conversion. The CopyPage and CopyPages methods create new PDF documents containing only the desired pages. This process is particularly useful for extracting the first page or specific sections. The ability to change the range easily lets you add or remove pages. For advanced page manipulation, explore our PDF page management guide.

What About Bitmap and Other Image Formats?

While this article focuses on TIFF conversion, IronPDF supports multiple image formats using similar methods. If you need to manipulate or calculate a new size for an image before conversion, you can do so before calling the conversion method. The resulting image data is what gets exported to the file system.

using IronPdf;
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("document.pdf");
// Convert to different formats
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.png", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Png);
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.jpg", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Jpeg);
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.bmp", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Bitmap);

using IronPdf;
PdfDocument pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("document.pdf");
// Convert to different formats
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.png", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Png);
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.jpg", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Jpeg);
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("output_*.bmp", IronPdf.Imaging.ImageType.Bitmap);

The same rendering engine handles all image file formats, ensuring consistent quality across different output types. This flexibility allows you to choose the best file format for your specific requirements, like using .jpeg for smaller file sizes or bitmap for uncompressed images. The save operation is handled internally by these methods. Learn more about image conversion options in our comprehensive guide.
