PDFs versus image files

PDF is short for Portable Document Format. This file format has been used and created by Adobe for the sole purpose of maintaining the file’s content and quality. It was first used by printing and publication companies but eventually, it became open for the public.

Are PDFs really better in image files?

We can’t really answer that directly for you because frankly, it’s all about preference. If you’re much more keen on sticking with convenience than quality then we’d say, stick with your old JPEG file! All these file types were made for a purpose and it wasn’t made to compete with each other. Each kind was made to improve our lives and work! If you’re working with a group, a supplier, a vendor or another company, it’s still best to consider what they can work with, than pushing for a format type. If you need to convert back to image files from PDF, don’t worry we also got you covered!
