On the other hand, JPG similar to PDF in the sense that they were created to reduce the size of your photos smaller so that they could be shared easily. Photos, which are now widely created via mobile devices, are saved as PNG, which could get bulky.

PNG was created as an alternative to a then (and still is) popular image format - GIF and supports transparency within images. Two modes of compression are available, ‘standard’ and ‘strong’ modes. If somehow the JPG file is still not small enough for your liking, we’d suggest to compress it further using the PDF compress tool while the PNG is in PDF format, before saving it as a JPEG image. It’s also useful if you wish to store these images on devices with limited storage capacities, such as older mobile devices or tablets. The lossy compressed images that come out from the JPG converter can then be uploaded and shared online, with ease. Other elements, such as your PNG images’ transparent background and color palettes, will be kept as close to its original form as possible. The highest quality of documents will be retained as we remove repetitive patterns and strip down the file size of your images to its lowest.

Smallpdf is an expert to many things, but our first core function was file compression (with our aptly titled name). You first convert the PNG to the Portable Document Format (PDF) and then save it again to a JPG. As our site’s name and process detailed above suggests it, we work simultaneously with image and PDF formats.
