# Document Saving

## What image and document formats can I save my documents as?

Documents can be saved in BMP / JPEG / TIFF / PNG / PDF format.

<strong>Notes</strong>:

- To reduce the size for JPEG/PDF/TIFF format, please check [this article](/_articles/faq/smallest-size-documents.md).

- Black & white image data which is 1-bit cannot be saved in the JPEG format as this format supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue).

- Dynamic Web TWAIN can read and write image-based PDF files; however, to read text-based PDF files, the [PDF Rasterizer add-on](/_articles/extended-usage/pdf-processing.md){:target="_blank"} is required.
