Tips for Converting PDFs to JPEGs

Before we conclude, we want to share some tips for converting PDFs to JPEGs.

• Selecting the right resolution: When converting a PDF to JPEG, make sure you choose the right resolution. A higher resolution will result in a larger file size, but a better quality image.

• Editing the image before saving: If you want to make any changes to the image, do so before saving it as a JPEG. Once you've saved it as a JPEG, it becomes much harder to make changes.

• Choosing the right file format: JPEG is the most common image file format, but it may not be the best choice for every situation. Consider the purpose of the image and the context in which it will be used before choosing a file format.
