How to choose the right upload format
A simple way to decide between PDF, JPG, PNG, and Word when an upload form is not very clear. Short answer: if the form does not say much, PDF is usually the safest choice.
- 1
Start by checking whether the destination expects a document or an image.
- 2
Use PDF when layout stability matters, JPG for lightweight image previews, and Word only when the receiver must edit the file.
- 3
If an image upload is rejected, switch to a PDF workflow before trying again.
