JPEG keeps photographs and gradients relatively compact. PDF Tool offers quality from 50 to 100 percent so you can tune the output for sharing or archiving.
Four simple steps
- 1
Load a PDF and switch the format to JPEG.
- 2
Choose resolution and JPEG quality.
- 3
Select all pages or enter custom ranges.
- 4
Convert and save the single JPEG or ZIP.
Tips for the best result
- The default 90% is a practical quality and size balance.
- PNG usually preserves small text edges better.
- Use page ranges to limit large 3x, high-quality exports.
When JPEG is the right choice
Photo-heavy PDFs, scanned pictures, and documents shared casually in chat all benefit from JPEG's smaller files — often dramatically smaller than PNG for the same page.
Quality settings that work
The default 90% looks essentially unchanged to the eye. 70–80% still works well when attachments must stay small, and 50% suits thumbnails or previews.
If text edges look fuzzy, switching to PNG helps more than raising the JPEG quality.
Sharing the results
Multi-page conversions arrive as one ZIP: send it whole, or extract it and share only the pages you need. Sequential filenames keep the page order intact.
Tuning size with a test page
Convert a single page at default settings first, check its size and appearance, then run the full document — the custom-range field makes the test easy.
If text looks fuzzy, raise the quality or switch to PNG; if files are too large, lower the quality or drop to 1x before the full run.
