Sometimes the picture is enough. Sometimes you want pages, text, metadata and signatures.
When a PDF is the right wrapper
- Multiple pages belong together.
- You want searchable text (via OCR or native text).
- You want to add metadata or digital signatures.
- You want pixel-perfect layout for print.
When an image is enough
- Single photograph.
- Casual sharing.
- Social media where PDFs render poorly.
Converting between
JPG/PNG → PDF: our tool wraps your images in a one-image-per-page PDF. PDF → JPG/PNG: 300 dpi preserves text crispness; 150 dpi is good for web.
Hidden gotcha
Images do not preserve selectable text — if someone needs to copy text from your document, send a PDF.
