As we are heading towards a more digitized world, conversion in file formats has become an increasingly popular practice. Each file format suits to apt needs of the user and the fact that each file format is different from another give them an edge over its counterparts for some cases.

For example, let’s consider the file formats PDF and JPG. Both of them have their own pros and cons. But in some cases, a PDF is preferred over JPG and sometimes it’s the other way round. Let’s say, for example, you have snapshots of some class notes that you missed. You might like to keep these separate snapshots together as a single document. For this case, your best shot is to convert all your snapshots(JPG/PDFs) to a single PDF.

People might convert their JPGs to PDF files because:

  • Doing so makes it more organized as all your previously scattered image files are now just a single portable file.
  • It increases security and efficiency as the single PDF file can now be protected by a password.
  • It adds the scope of adding non-visual content such as text and hyperlinks to better convey one’s idea.
  • PDF is a widely accepted format by almost every system thereby ensuring that your content looks the same across every system.
  • It’s more efficient to print a single PDF rather than printing multiple images.

Now that we know how beneficial it can be to convert your images to a PDF file, let’s look at some ways to do so. So let’s get started without further ado.
