Lossless output for detailed pages
PNG stores images without lossy compression, which keeps text edges, diagrams and line art crisp. That makes it the better choice when a page will be inspected or reused rather than just viewed.
Works alongside other conversions
PDF JustFit also converts PDFs to JPEG, HEIC and TIFF, converts images back into a PDF, and can package converted images as a ZIP.
Privacy and limitations
PNG files are larger than JPEG
Because PNG is lossless, the resulting files are larger than the equivalent JPEG. If size matters more than fidelity, choose JPEG.
Still not searchable
A PNG is an image. For searchable content, use OCR or PDF to text instead.
