About the formats
JPEG image
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used photo format on the web. Its lossy compression shrinks photographs to small files that open everywhere, from browsers to cameras and phones.
Strengths
- Very small files for photos
- Opens on virtually every device and app
- Adjustable quality vs. size trade-off
Limitations
- Lossy — quality drops on each re-save
- No transparency support
- Visible artefacts on text, lines and flat colour
Best for: Photographs and complex images for the web, email and social media where small file size matters most.
PDF document
PDF is the universal document format. It locks in fonts, layout and images so a file looks identical on any device, which makes it the standard for sharing and printing.
Strengths
- Looks identical everywhere
- Ideal for printing and signing
- Opens on every device
Limitations
- Hard to edit without tools
- Reflows poorly on small screens
- Text extraction can be messy
Best for: Sharing, printing and archiving finished documents with a fixed layout.
