Wrong formats cause blurry screenshots, huge email attachments, and rejected portal uploads. Use a simple decision tree.
Quick answer: Photos → JPG · UI/transparency → PNG · multi-page documents → PDF. Convert with ToolNova, then merge if needed.
Decision tree
- Need transparency? → PNG
- Photo for web/email? → JPG (compress first)
- Multiple pages / print / submit? → PDF
Common workflow: assignment with photos + text
- Compress photos (Image Compressor)
- Convert images (Image to PDF)
- Merge with written PDF (Merge PDF)
Tools
Final takeaway
Format choice is a quality decision. Use the smallest format that preserves what matters—then package as PDF for submission.
