Convert TIFF to DOCX

Convert TIFF to DOCX to place a scan inside a Word document. The page sits on the document sheet, and an explanation or a cover note goes next to it.

What happens when you convert TIFF to DOCX

The scan goes into the document whole and in its original proportions. This embeds a picture rather than recognising text: letters on the scan stay part of the drawing and cannot be selected or edited in Word.

The TIFF file is embedded as it is, so the document gains the full weight of the scan. Of a multi-page TIFF only the first page is visible in the document: if you need the others, save them as separate files and add each with its own conversion.

• The scan sits on a document page and opens in Word.
• The proportions of the page are kept.
• One conversion puts one image into the document.

How to convert TIFF to DOCX

1. Upload your file in TIFF.
2. Select DOCX as the result format.
3. Start the conversion.
4. Download the document and write your notes in Word.

When a scan is needed inside a document

• Attach the scan of a signed report to a cover letter in Word.
• Assemble a document package where each scan comes with a note.
• Send a copy of a certificate where only Word files are accepted.
• Put a scanned drawing into an explanatory note.
• Hand a scan to someone who works with documents rather than pictures.

Other options for TIFF files

• Text from the scan comes out with the TIFF to TXT converter.
• A table on the scan lands in cells with the TIFF to Excel (XLSX) converter.
• To show the scan on a website, use the TIFF to WebP converter.

FAQ

Can the text on the scan be edited in Word?

No, the document holds an image. Getting the text out takes a TIFF to TXT conversion instead.

What about a multi-page TIFF?

The first page is visible in the document. Save the others as separate files and add each with its own conversion.

Why is the document so heavy?

The scan is embedded whole, with all its weight. If size matters, turn it into WebP or JPG first.
