We eliminate repetitive patterns and thereby reduce the file size of your images to the smallest possible size while maintaining the highest quality. Smallpdf is an expert on many things, but our first core function was file compression-it’s in the name. As you can see above, turning a PNG into a JPG is no different: You first convert the PNG to the Portable Document Format (PDF) and then save it again to a JPG. All of our conversions use this format as a bridge to help you get things done. At Smallpdf, the PDF format is the key to success.
