Is it better to save photos as JPEG or PDF?

It is better to save images in PDF if you want to retain the maximum quality of your image. With JPEG, the quality is compressed and may lose some quality.

On Mac, JPEG quality is always the best-recommended format when converting multiple picture formats to PDF.

Are PDF files bigger than JPEG?

While the file size depends upon the content, PDF files usually take up more space because they won’t compress the images. Meanwhile, JPEG format does.
