🖼️ The TIFF Enterprise Challenge

TIFF remains the gold standard for archival scanning—lossless quality, multi-page support, and metadata preservation. However, TIFF files are massive, not searchable, and difficult to share. Converting to searchable PDFs preserves quality while enabling modern document workflows.

Storage Impact

A healthcare system reduced storage costs by 75% by converting 50TB of TIFF medical records to optimized searchable PDFs—saving $2M annually in storage alone.
