The Many Uses of JPEG

There are many reasons to convert a PDF to JPEG. Your reason will depend on how you need to use or share the content.

  • Smaller File Size – Often smaller than PDF files, JPEGs are also easy to share via email and social media accounts and can help reduce the storage needed for large volumes of documents.
  • View Anywhere – JPEG is a widely supported image format that is easy to view and share on any system.
  • Image Editing – The number of image editors available makes editing a JPEG image easier than editing a page in a PDF file. With a JPEG, you can easily crop, annotate, or change colors on the page.
  • Flexibility – Add JPEG images to websites, insert them into presentations and other documents, use them to create engaging social media posts, and much more.
  • Extracting Pages – Converting all or selected pages in your PDF to JPEG images allows you to extract only your desired pages.

JPEG: A Digital Workhorse for Presentations and Websites

Great presentations start with great content. But what do you do when you already have great content in an existing PDF file? Most presentation software, including Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides, cannot import PDF or PDF content but can easily import images such as JPEG.

Web designers may also need to convert PDF files to JPEG images for display on web pages. JPEG files are natively supported and fast to load in web browsers. You can make important information easy to find by showing a small JPEG thumbnail view of the first page of each PDF. Or convert the first few pages of each PDF to JPEG to create fast-loading page previews on desktop and mobile devices.

Our software makes short work of converting one, some, or all of the pages in your PDF file to JPEG images, making adding your desired content into presentations and websites easy.

For this, either our PDF Creator Plus or Raster Image Printer solution is a great choice to have as a tool for your toolbox. For simple conversion to JPEG, use PDF Creator Plus.

The Raster Image Printer offers more options to fine-tune the quality and compression of the JPEGs created. It also has additional features for adding text stamps on each page and resizing pages, to name a few. It also includes tools for integrating into automated workflows to save you time and streamline converting large volumes of PDF files to JPEG images.

PDF to JPEG: The Secret Weapon for Your Digital Content Storage

A primary advantage of converting PDF to JPEG is the potential for huge savings in file size. While this may not be true for all PDF files, JPEG images from scanned documents and PDF files containing many images are often much smaller. This file size difference is due to JPEG’s efficient compression algorithm.

As they require less storage space, JPEGs are particularly advantageous when storing and archiving extensive collections of documents. Whether destined as part of a content or document management system or for long-term document archiving, JPEGs can drastically reduce the storage used by these systems.

In addition to taking less space, a smaller file is faster to retrieve and view. Add this to the fact that JPEGs are typically compatible with most storage media and software applications, and you have a winning combination.


The next step is to get the documents into JPEG format. This step is where Document Conversion Service can help you. This flexible solution is a conversion service that runs 24/7 and can easily convert any daily volume of incoming documents or large collections of existing files.
