JPEG exports the file in a compressed JPEG format. JPEG compression can vary from high quality (saving a document at low compression, such as 2:1) to low quality (saving a document at high compression, such as 100:1). With high levels of compression, image quality can suffer. When you Export as JPEG, the dialog box prompts you to specify the quality of the compression on a scale of 1 to 100. |
