TIFF is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that DDS compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger.

"I needed to convert TIFF to multi‑page PDF for an archive project. reaConverter handled it effortlessly – 2,000 pages in one batch. The output PDF was searchable (thanks to OCR) and had the same resolution as the originals. Absolutely brilliant."
