DOC is a document format: it stores formatted text in a binary compound-document structure, requiring Microsoft Word or a compatible reader to render correctly. TIFF is a image format that stores high-depth raster images with optional lossless LZW compression and supports multiple pages in a single file. This renders each page as a raster image, making the content viewable without a document reader. Each page is rendered at the specified DPI and saved as a separate image; text in the output is no longer selectable. Converting between these two formats is common when the source application does not support TIFF natively or when the target platform only accepts TIFF. 1converter processes this conversion server-side using open-source tools. Files are transferred over HTTPS, converted on secure cloud servers, and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
