Useful next steps

Convert JPG and PNG images to PDF	Bring JPG and PNG images together in a PDF. Check the image order and review the generated pages before downloading.
Convert PDF text to a TXT file for reuse	Extract existing PDF text into a UTF-8 TXT file. Reuse wording without the page layout and check reading order in columns, tables and scanned documents.
Reduce image size with quality and dimension settings	Adjust a still image's format, quality and maximum edge length for a smaller file. Compare size and detail rather than expecting a fixed percentage reduction.

Choose quality for the actual use

A smaller file may be enough for a preview. Small text, diagrams and fine lines usually deserve a higher quality setting. Rendered page images have a maximum long edge of 2,200 pixels. A higher quality number does not increase that resolution; it changes the lossy JPG compression. Inspect text at the size your audience will actually see.

An image page behaves differently

A JPG retains the visible page appearance but has no selectable words, clickable PDF links or fillable fields. Keep the PDF for searching and later editing. If you subsequently need to collect several images into a document, use the images-to-PDF tool. Repeated conversion and JPG saving can introduce further quality loss, so keep the original source.
