Higher resolution gives you larger, clearer JPG files. If the PDF contains text, avoid extremely low resolution because it can make the result blurry. If the PDF contains photos, balance quality and file size depending on where the JPG will be used.
JPG vs PNG for exported pages
JPG is usually better for photos and smaller file sizes. PNG can be better for crisp graphics, screenshots or pages with transparent elements. If you are unsure, start with JPG because it is widely compatible and lightweight.
