You've got beautiful, sharp photos. High resolution, perfect clarity. You convert them to PDF, open the PDF, and... they look blurry. What happened? Your perfect photos are now pixelated and soft.
This is frustrating, but it's usually preventable. Our JPG to PDF tool solves this automatically by preserving image quality and resolution during conversion. The problem is almost always compression or resolution settings during PDF creation. Let me explain what causes blurry photos in PDFs and how our tool keeps them sharp.
Why Photos Get Blurry in PDFs
Compression
The most common cause is compression. When creating a PDF, many tools compress images to reduce file size. Too much compression makes photos blurry.
What happens: The PDF tool reduces image quality to make the file smaller. This is fine for documents, but can hurt photo quality.
How to fix it: Use high-quality or lossless compression settings when creating the PDF.
Resolution Reduction
Some PDF tools reduce image resolution (DPI) when converting. This makes images smaller in file size but also reduces sharpness.
What happens: A 300 DPI image becomes 150 DPI, or a high-resolution photo gets downsampled.
How to fix it: Ensure your PDF tool preserves original image resolution.
Resizing
If photos are resized to fit pages, they might be scaled incorrectly, causing blurriness.
What happens: A large photo is scaled down, and the scaling algorithm isn't optimal, creating softness.
How to fix it: Use tools that handle image scaling properly, or resize images before converting.
Color Space Conversion
Converting between color spaces (like RGB to CMYK) can sometimes affect image quality.
What happens: Color space conversion can introduce artifacts or reduce quality.
How to fix it: Keep images in their original color space when possible.

File Size vs Quality
There's a trade-off between file size and quality. Here's how to balance it:
For sharing: High quality is usually fine. Modern PDFs handle images well without huge file sizes.
For email: You might need to balance quality and size. Use high quality, but not maximum if file size is a concern.
For printing: Use maximum quality. File size matters less than print quality.
For web: High quality is usually sufficient. Very high quality might be overkill.
For archiving: Use maximum quality. You want to preserve photos long-term.
