Graphic images are converted to PDF’s for various reasons, for instance; a person who needs to upload a media kit that’s a JPG will need to convert that into a PDF. Most Job Search websites require you to upload a Word or PDF document. If your resume is a digital version, you will want to convert that to a PDF so you can successfully upload it.

Benefits of Converting a PDF to JPG Image

Emails

For one, PDF documents can be large. If you were ever trying to send an email to a person, and the email attachment limit gets exceeded, the best way to avoid that problem is by converting it into a JPG. A JPG image would be the compressed version of the PDF you are trying to send. If a PDF document is 25 MB, converting that into a JPG, depending on your compression settings, can turn the file into 15 MB or less.

Another benefit of converting your documents into images are to avoid errors or corruption when sending it over via Outlook or other email problems. PDF data will sometimes get corrupted and become unusable on the receivers end.

Websites & Online Services

If you are a website owner and want to place PDF graphics on your website. The best way to do that is by converting it into a JPG image first. Converting your PDF into a JPG will be more suitable for websites because of image size. One of the main practices to follow on any website is to make sure that it loads fast. This is why JPG images are popular and used as the standard file format for the web.

Other image sharing websites like Imgur, Pinterest, and Instagram don’t allow you to upload PDF graphics. Converting to a JPG image first will fix that problem and allow you to upload.

SMS Text Messages

Avoid sending large PDF documents to family, friends, or associates. Convert your PDF first into a JPG before sending it. For starters, not everyone has a PDF reader installed. If someone has to download and install one first, then go back to their text message to open the document, that will become annoying and time consuming. A plus is, when you send a JPG image over a text message, that image is almost instantly available and view-able to the user when sent.

Overview

Having the ability to convert any PDF into a JPG image has many advantages. JPG is the standard when it comes to web images because of file size and loading speeds. Not every device or online platform supports PDF’s. To work around those issues, converting your document into an image is usually the best course of action. Alternatively, if you want to send someone a PDF document without converting it, you can use a cloud storage service for transferring files.

Common image formats used by photographers, graphic designers, and during print production are RAW, EPS, TIFF, and PDF.

What about other miscellaneous file formats? Shouldn’t the leader of all photo editing be able to support all available formats as they come out? The answer is yes.

Unsupported File Formats

Here are the following file formats that are not currently supported (out-the-box) by Adobe Photoshop:

ICO

The ICO file format is used for desktop icons found on Windows. Want to create your own custom icon for a new or existing program? Being able to create one in Photoshop would make that easier.

An alternate solution would be to first create your icon image in Photoshop, then save the final design as a PNG or JPG. Use an Image to ICO converter, and you are all set with a desktop ICO image.

WEBP

The WEBP file format is used on the internet to provide images with both lossy and lossless compression. Excellent for those who want to keep the resolution in their graphics sharp and clean without the overhead of a large sized file.

To create a WEBP file, you will have to first create your logo or design in Photoshop, then save as a PNG or JPG. Use an Image to WEBP converter to save the result. Now you can upload your WEBP file onto your website.

HEIC

The HEIC file format can be considered version 2 of the popular JPG image format. It’s sole purpose is for individual images and image sequences. The HEIC file can store double the amount of info compared to it’s JPG counterpart. This allows for a much higher resolution JPG image.

Photoshop may not be able to open or modify this file, but Adobe Lightroom and a host of other programs can. If you are looking to convert to another image format, consider using an HEIC to JPG converter. This will allow you to then open in Photoshop.

For the above mentioned file formats to work, they will require you to either download or  purchase additional Photoshop Plugins (extensions) or to use a different image editor all together.

Repairing Damaged or Incorrect Images

Another shortcoming that Photoshop users will experience is trying to open damaged files or incorrect formats. Instead of Photoshop having a feature that can attempt to repair the file, it won’t at all. If the image you are trying to open is in the wrong file format, don’t expect Photoshop to fix that for you either.

Conclusion

While Photoshop has it’s limitations, overall it is still an amazing image editor with a host of features. With the ability to install plugins to add-on to the already growing list of capabilities just makes Photoshop a superior product. But, if Adobe can support additional file formats and have a repair feature included in the final product, Photoshop won’t ever have to worry about losing it’s place as the industries first choice for editing images.
