Higher quality means a larger file. 80–90 is invisible in most photos.
Why convert PDF to JPG
Social networks, chat apps and many CMSs do not preview PDFs, but everything shows a JPG. Rendering the pages to images is the quickest way to share a flyer or a page of a report.
Pages are rendered with the same engine Firefox uses for PDFs, so fonts, vector graphics and transparency come out as intended. 150 dpi is sharp on screens; use 300 dpi if the image will be printed.

About the formats
PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf
The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.
- A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
- Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
- PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
JPG · JPEG image · .jpg
The universal photo format: small files, supported by every device, camera and website, but no transparency and slight quality loss on each save.
- JPEG compression discards fine detail the eye rarely notices; quality 80–90 is usually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
- Re-saving a JPG repeatedly adds generation loss, so keep an original and export copies.
- JPG has no alpha channel — transparent areas become white or black when converted from PNG.
