Converting JPG to PDF is a common task when you need identical on every device. JPG (also written JPEG) is a lossy compressed format engineered for photographs. It discards detail the eye barely notices to produce far smaller files, and it is the most universally supported image format in existence. PDF, on the other hand, gives you identical on every device and great for documents and printing. ZeroUpload performs this conversion entirely inside your browser, so your JPG file is never uploaded to a server.
