Putting a page into a slide deck, a message or a website, where an image travels more easily than a document.
PDF grew out of Adobe Camelot project and became an open ISO standard in 2008. Its whole purpose is that a document looks the same on every screen and every printer, which it achieves by freezing the layout and embedding the fonts. That strength is also its limitation: a PDF describes where marks sit on a page, not what a paragraph is, so editing one means rebuilding it.
JPG compresses by discarding detail the eye is poor at noticing. Superb for photographs, poor for text and sharp edges, where it leaves visible haze.

Each page becomes a picture. The words stop being words - they cannot be searched, selected or edited afterwards, and the page cannot be reflowed. Choose PNG for pages of text or diagrams, where JPG leaves visible haze around the lettering.
Most documents finish in a few seconds. Conversion runs on our server rather than in your browser, so the slow part is usually the upload. Long reports and image-heavy files take proportionally longer.
Your file is uploaded to our server because the conversion runs there. A cleanup task runs every hour and deletes anything older than an hour, so nothing you upload survives more than about two hours. We do not open your files, we do not keep copies, and no account is needed to use the converter.
