About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Convert JPEG to PDF online free, no account required — PDF is the fixed-layout document standard.
Change JPEG to PDF without losing quality — convert JPEG to PDF free in your browser.
Why does my photo get worse every time I edit and save it as JPG? Each save re-compresses the image and piles new artifacts on the old ones — working from a lossless original and exporting once to JPG avoids the buildup.
About PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the ISO 32000 standard for fixed-layout documents that look the same on every device.
Sharing, printing and archiving documents; here PDF is an output format for images, drawings and e-books.
This service only creates PDFs; editing, merging or converting existing PDFs is the job of NexDocs.
Why convert documents to PDF? The layout looks identical on every device and printer, which is exactly why forms, invoices and papers are exchanged as PDF.
