Optimizing images for PDF files

Use these before you upload or share the page.

PDFs embed images at their original resolution — compress before inserting to keep file size under control.

For on-screen PDFs, resize images to 150 DPI max; for print-ready PDFs, 300 DPI is sufficient and still benefits from compression.

Use JPEG format for photos in PDFs and PNG only for screenshots or graphics with text — format choice matters more than compression level.
