I have a scenario where the user uploads one or many tiff files, and then wants to see them displayed in a gridlayout. I had already built out the process before realizing that imageField does not support Tiff. I have seen a plugin that converts tiff to pdf, but this doesn't help as I don't think there is a way to display a pdf in a gridlayout (please correct me if I am wrong!). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It would look bad in a grid anyway IMO. Rather you should display it adjacent to the grid and highlight the row whose document is being displayed.
That, according to me, would be a good UX.
Would you convert it to PDF, or do you know of a better way to display a Tiff? I don't like the idea of plugins in general.

What exactly do you mean by this? The Appian plug-in ecosystem contains many beneficial, and some 100% essential features. There is absolutely no reason to avoid plug-ins just for the sake of avoiding plug-ins.
