PDF to JPEG XL

Why convert PDF to JPEG XL?

The main difference: PDF is a document format, while JPEG XL is a lossy or lossless format.

Transparent areas stay transparent

PDF and JPEG XL both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

Lighter images for your website

At the same visual quality, JPEG XL files are noticeably smaller than JPG or PNG. Lighter images mean faster pages, better Core Web Vitals and a small boost for SEO.

What is a PDF file?

PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 to make documents look identical on every screen and printer. A PDF can contain text, vector graphics and images across any number of pages.

It's the standard for forms, contracts, resumes, school assignments and anything you print or submit. Turning photos and scans into a PDF bundles them into one tidy, universally readable file.

How to open a PDF file

Every web browser opens PDFs, as do Mac Preview, the Files app on iPhone and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows, Mac and Android. To get pictures out of a PDF, convert its pages to JPG or PNG.

What is a JPEG XL file?

JPEG XL is a next-generation image format standardized in 2022 as a successor to JPG. It compresses better than JPG and WebP, supports transparency, HDR and animation, and can losslessly repack existing JPGs about 20% smaller.

Adoption is growing - Apple supports it across iPhone, iPad and Mac, and some cameras and photo apps can save it - but many browsers and programs can't open it yet.

How to open a JPEG XL file

Safari 17+, macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 and later open JPEG XL. Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo and darktable support it. On Windows, and in Chrome, convert it to JPG or PNG to view it.

Extension: .jxl
Compression: Lossy or lossless
Transparency: Yes
Best for: High-quality photos in small files
