Why convert JPG to PDF?
JPG (JPEG) is the classic format for photos. Its lossy compression keeps files small, but it has no transparency and slightly softens sharp edges and text.
PDF is the universal document format. A one-page PDF with your picture looks the same on every computer and phone and prints at the right size.
Choose PDF when you want to send, attach or print the image as a document.
