The JPEG compression method was devised for storing real-world photographs as digital images. It reduces file-sizes considerably but information on color and luminance may be lost. Consequently, JPEG compression may not be the best choice for detailed images with sharp lines.

To configure EscapeE 'eE' iconEscapeE to get the best JPEG image at the smallest file-size, see Compression parameters below.

You may choose to apply JPEG compression to image(s) found in PDF, PDF/A, PostScript, IDF and HTML5 documents, while applying a different compression method to the rest of the document: see JPEG images in other documents below.
