JPG vs. PNG: Which Format to Choose?
Each format has strengths and weaknesses.
Here is how to choose.
JPG (JPEG)
Best for: Photographs, complex images, web use
File size: Small
Transparency: No
Quality: Good, but loses detail on repeated saves
JPG is best for photos and images with gradients.
It creates smaller files that load faster on websites.
Text may appear slightly blurry around edges.
PNG
Best for: Text, logos, screenshots, graphics
File size: Larger than JPG
Transparency: Yes (alpha channel)
Quality: Perfect, lossless compression
PNG preserves sharp edges around text and logos.
Use PNG when you need transparency.
Use PNG for images that will be edited again.
Recommendation
For web use: JPG at 80-90% quality
For printing: PNG or high-quality JPG (95%+)
For text-heavy pages: PNG
For photos: JPG
When in doubt: PNG (better quality, larger file)
Understanding DPI and Resolution
DPI affects print quality and file size.
Here is what you need to know.
What Is DPI?
DPI = Dots Per Inch (print resolution).
Higher DPI = more detail = larger file size.
Lower DPI = less detail = smaller file size.
DPI Recommendations
Web use: 72-96 DPI (small files, fast loading)
Standard print: 150-200 DPI (good quality)
High-quality print: 300 DPI (professional printing)
Very high quality: 600 DPI (art books, fine detail)
File Size Impact
A single page at 72 DPI: ~100 KB
Same page at 300 DPI: ~1.5 MB
15 times larger for 4 times the detail.
When to Use High DPI
- Professional printing
- Images that will be zoomed in
- Archival quality needed
- Text must be perfectly sharp
Our tool lets you choose any DPI.
Start with 150 DPI for general use.

Common Conversion Mistakes
Even careful users make these errors.
Avoid them for best results.
Mistake 1: Too High DPI for Web
300 DPI images on a website load very slowly.
Use 72-96 DPI for web use.
Save high DPI for printing only.
Mistake 2: Wrong Format for Text
JPG makes text edges blurry.
Use PNG for text-heavy pages.
Text will stay sharp and readable.
Mistake 3: Converting All Pages Unnecessarily
You need only page 5 but converted all 100 pages.
Wasted time and storage space.
Select specific page ranges when possible.
Mistake 4: Low Quality for Printing
70% JPG quality looks fine on screen.
Printing reveals compression artifacts.
Use PNG or 95%+ JPG for print.
Mistake 5: Forgetting Transparency Needs
White background from JPG ruins layered designs.
Use PNG if you need transparency.
PNG supports transparent backgrounds.
