1Upload your TIFF images and wait for the preview to appear.
2Pick a crop preset: 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3 cuts the largest centred area of that shape, and Free Crop keeps the whole picture.
3Start the crop and wait for the result.
4Download the cropped TIFF file, with everything outside the frame discarded.
Crop TIFF FAQ
Does my source format change how a crop behaves?
+
It can. TIFF is the archival container: lossless LZW or DEFLATE, 16-bit-per-channel depth, CMYK, and multiple pages in a single file. That decides whether the crop is a pure pixel operation or whether the file has to be rebuilt around it.
What is the most common mistake when cropping TIFF images?
+
Cropping before resizing. Crop first from the full-resolution original, then resize the result — doing it the other way round means the region you keep has already lost detail it did not need to lose.
Can I crop several files to the same region at once?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
Does the alpha channel survive?
+
Yes. PNG and TIFF carry a full 8-bit alpha channel and it is preserved end to end. It is only flattened if you deliberately target a format that has no alpha, in which case transparent pixels are composited onto white.
Does Crop TIFF cost anything?
+
No. Crop TIFF is free without an account and adds no watermark. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
Why does a PDF site host Crop TIFF?
+
PDF.to exists because PDF is where documents go to be shared and the worst place to keep them while they are still being worked on, so nearly every job here is about getting something into or out of that state deliberately. A document rarely arrives in the state it needs to leave in: it is too big, in the wrong order, locked, or a scan with no text in it. Crop TIFF sits on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because those jobs turn up together.
What should I do with the result once Crop TIFF is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves documents between PDF, Word, images, plain text and eBook formats in either direction, so whatever comes out of a tool here has somewhere to go next without a second upload. Running that after Crop TIFF rather than before keeps the document structure intact through the step that is most likely to flatten it.
Is Crop TIFF here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same document toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a PDF site adds is a view on when a file should stay a document and when it genuinely wants to become something else, which is the decision most tools quietly make for you. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: a PDF is an object graph, not a page image, so text stays selectable and vectors stay sharp no matter what happens to the raster content inside it.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
