How to Convert PDF to Tiff File in .NET

This article will demonstrate how to convert a PDF file to TIFF images using the first-class PDF support from the IronPDF C# library.

IronPDF

Developers can instantly create, read, and edit PDF documents with IronPDF, a robust online PDF library. The IronPDF package converts HTML to PDF using the Chrome engine and can also convert PDFs to TIFFs. Many web components, such as Xamarin, HTML, ASPX, Razor Pages, .NET Core, ASP.NET, and WPF, are supported by the library. Additionally, Windows Forms and HoloLens apps are supported. Microsoft .NET and .NET Core programming is compatible with traditional Windows apps and ASP.NET web projects.

IronPDF is a standalone PDF processing component. IronPDF combines HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, and images to create aesthetically pleasing PDFs with a title and footer. The API library includes a standalone PDF-to-TIFF conversion engine that is independent of any external resources, in addition to a robust HTML-to-PDF converter that works with PDF files.

IronPDF Features

  • IronPDF can convert various formats, including HTML, HTML5, ASPX, and Razor/MVC View, to PDF format. Another useful feature of IronPDF is its ability to create PDF files from HTML pages and pictures.
  • The IronPDF toolkit can be used for a wide range of tasks, such as making interactive PDFs, editing and filling interactive forms, combining and splitting PDF files effortlessly, accurately extracting text and images from PDF files, doing extensive text searches within PDF files, transforming PDFs into images, and modifying font sizes, borders, and background colors. PDF files can also be quickly converted with IronPDF.
  • With the addition of support for user agents, proxies, cookies, HTTP headers, and form variables, IronPDF greatly improves HTML login form validation. Passwords and usernames are used to prevent users from accessing protected content in PDFs.
  • IronPDF also makes it easier to convert PDF documents into Word, Excel, and HTML forms.
  • A few lines of code can be used to generate a PDF file from a string, stream, or URL, among other sources.
  • It is possible to edit and modify existing PDF files. It utilizes techniques like rotating pages in PDFs, picture extraction, scanning barcodes within PDFs, and so on.
  • This approach can be used to extract text from scanned PDF documents.

Create a New Visual Studio Project

The library can create multipage TIFF images from PDFs with ease, as shown by the examples in the following sections.

First, start a new project.

Choose File > New Project once Visual Studio has launched.

Click Next after selecting the Console App template from the pop-up box.

Convert PDF file to TIFF format

IronPDF can convert PDF document pages into TIFF image files, and it can be done with a few lines of code. Below is the sample code for converting PDF into image files.

using IronPdf;
using IronSoftware.Drawing;

// Load a PDF document from the file
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("Demo.pdf");

// Extract all pages to a specified folder as TIFF image files
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles(@"D:\image\*.tiff");
using IronPdf;
using IronSoftware.Drawing;

// Load a PDF document from the file
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("Demo.pdf");

// Extract all pages to a specified folder as TIFF image files
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles(@"D:\image\*.tiff");
Imports IronPdf
Imports IronSoftware.Drawing

' Load a PDF document from the file
Private pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("Demo.pdf")

' Extract all pages to a specified folder as TIFF image files
pdf.RasterizeToImageFiles("D:\image\*.tiff")
$vbLabelText   $csharpLabel

Once the PDF file is loaded with the help of the FromFile method, which is available in the PdfDocument object, IronPDF provides the RasterizeToImageFiles method to convert PDF pages to image format. With a single line of code, IronPDF will convert the whole PDF document to TIFF images.

The transformed documents will be stored in the specified path. IronPDF effectively converts all of the pages of the PDF report to TIFF images using the LZW compression scheme. The method RasterizeToImageFiles handles the conversion process, automatically assigning incremental numerical names to the images. In the below image, you can see that the output TIFF files have been saved in the specified location. Also, the TIFF image files have been named using an auto-incremental method.

IronPDF can also convert PDF pages into various image formats such as PNG, JPEG, and JPG.
