Why should we sometimes split a PDF into an image?

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is most useful for storing and sharing digital images because it compresses impressive detail into a shareable file size. There are some advantages of JEPG files.

 

- Smaller size: JPEG is a lossy image compression format that can compress images in a small storage space for transmitting faster. It is widely used in image file storage, network picture sharing, storage, etc.

 

- Compatibility: JPEG is a universally accepted format that can be edited or used on smartphones, computers, cameras, and other editing software.

 

- Easy to access, deliver and transfer: The small size of JPEG images makes it easy to attach them to emails or even share them instantly on Facebook or Twitter.

 

When will we need to split a PDF into an image?

Let me share you with some stories. Maybe you will be familiar with these scenes.

 

- Near graduation, a student made a beautiful portfolio in PDF. One day, he found a company he liked online, and he wanted to email his resume and portfolio to HR. Unfortunately, the PDF file was too large to email. During this time, maybe he can split PDF files into images to email because JPEG files are usually smaller. Of course, he also can compress the PDF file with PDF software.

 

- I believe that all of you have made a report whether business man or students. And sometimes, you want to incorporate visual examples of a PDF into a work presentation. In this scene, you have to extract images from PDF files. Or if you need to display the complete PDF page on your presentation, you can choose to convert the PDF file to an image.

 

- As we all know, some platforms and devices only support JPEG files. And JPEG files maybe display the content of paintings, sceneries, etc. better. If we want to share these images on social platforms, it would be better for us to split PDFs into images.

Conclusion: Compare JPEG files with PDF files

JPEGs will permanently damage the quality of files while compressing. The files in JPEG format have been compressed and synthesized when they are generated, and all the contents are in one layer, which is a whole. You can’t edit and modify the content in JPEG files.

PDFs use compression methods that do not compromise the original quality of the file, and the file size will be larger than that of a JPEG file. PDF files can be operated freely, and with special editing software, each part of the content can be edited and modified.

JPG files and PDF files have their own advantages. However, in terms of office efficiency and convenience, PDF files may be the most suitable format for us at present. Whether PDF files are powerful enough to replace files in other formats depends on how PDF files and other formats will develop in the future.
