About PDF

  • Industry standard for print and documents
  • Supports encryption and digital signatures

Limitations

  • Not a traditional image format
  • Large file sizes for image-heavy documents
  • Requires reader software to view
  • Editing requires specialized tools

About JPEG

JPEG is the most widely used image format for photographs and complex images. The .jpeg extension is functionally identical to .jpg — both use the same compression algorithm and produce the same output.

Advantages

  • Excellent compression for photographs
  • Universally supported across all browsers and devices
  • Small file sizes ideal for web and email
  • Adjustable compression quality (1-100)

Limitations
