Tips & Tricks

Efficient Compression

JPEG uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality. It is ideal for photographs and complex images where small file size matters.

When to Use JPEG

Choose JPEG for sharing images online, email attachments, social media, and photographs. It offers the best balance of quality and file size for natural images.

JPEG Best Practices

Adjust the quality slider to balance file size and image quality. Use higher quality (80-100) for important documents and lower quality (30-60) for thumbnails or previews.

Common Use Cases

FAQ

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the PDF.js rendering engine. Your PDF file never leaves your device, making this tool safe for sensitive or confidential documents.

What makes JPEG different from other formats?

JPEG uses lossy compression to create small file sizes. It excels at photographs and complex images where minor quality loss is acceptable. JPEG does not support transparency. For text-heavy documents, PNG provides better clarity.

How do I select specific pages to convert?

You can convert All Pages, or use Custom Range by entering page numbers. Use commas for individual pages (e.g., 1,3,5) and hyphens for ranges (e.g., 1-5).

What DPI should I use?

72 DPI is standard for screen viewing and web use. 150 DPI offers a good balance of quality and file size. 300 DPI is recommended for high-quality printing. Higher DPI produces significantly larger files.

How many pages can I convert at once?

There is no hard limit on pages, but very large PDFs (200+ pages) at high DPI may consume significant memory. For best results, we recommend converting large PDFs in batches or at a lower DPI.

How small can JPEG files get?

JPEG files can get very small, especially at lower quality settings (30-50%). However, aggressive compression introduces visible artifacts. For sharing on social media or email, moderate compression (quality 60-80%) offers a good balance of size and appearance.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. Please remove the password protection before uploading.

Can I convert a scanned PDF with handwriting?

Yes. A scanned page becomes a JPEG photo, so handwriting stays visible as pixels. For OCR-friendly output, keep DPI at 300 so text remains legible to recognition software.

What quality setting should I pick?

For sharing and screen use, quality 80 keeps files small and looks near-original. For documents you may print or zoom into, choose 90+. Lower values (50-70) are fine for email attachments and web previews.
