How to Convert PNG to PDF
PNG is the format screenshots and graphics arrive in: sharp edges, clean text, and support for transparency. What it does not have is any concept of a page. A set of PNG screenshots documenting a bug, a process or an invoice is a folder of loose files until you turn it into a document.
Converting to PDF gives those images page numbers, a fixed order and one file to attach. This guide covers the whole process in the browser, plus the one PNG-specific detail worth knowing before you start: what happens to a transparent background.

- Turning a series of screenshots into a report, a bug write-up or step-by-step instructions somebody else has to follow.
- Sending charts, diagrams or design mock-ups to a client who should see them in a fixed order, not as loose attachments.
- Uploading proof of payment or an identity document to a service that only accepts PDF.
How to convert PNG to PDF step by step
Open the PNG to PDF tool
Go to the PNG to PDF page. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Upload the PNG images
Drag the files onto the upload area or pick them from the file dialog. Several images can be added at once, and more can be appended afterwards.
Arrange the pages
The thumbnails follow upload order, which becomes page order in the PDF. Drag them into the sequence a reader should see, and delete anything you do not need.
Set page size and margins
A4 or Letter keeps everything on a standard printable sheet — the right choice for anything that will be printed or filed. Fit-to-content sizes each page to the screenshot instead, which keeps interface captures readable at full width.
Convert and download
Run the conversion, then download the PDF. Open it once and check that any text inside the screenshots is still comfortably legible at 100% zoom.
Common problems and how to fix them
Transparent background turns white
PDF pages are opaque, so a transparent PNG area is rendered against the page background. That is normal and usually invisible for screenshots. If a logo needs a genuine transparent background, keep the PNG for that use.
Screenshot text looks small
A wide desktop screenshot scaled onto a portrait A4 page shrinks a lot. Switch the page orientation to landscape, or use fit-to-content so the page matches the screenshot's own proportions.
The file is unexpectedly large
PNG uses lossless compression, so full-screen captures are heavy and stay heavy in the PDF. Run the result through Compress PDF if it needs to travel by email.
PNG or PDF: which one to send
PNG is the better format while you are still working: it is lossless, keeps text edges crisp, and supports transparency for logos and overlays. It is also perfect for pasting a single image into a chat or a ticket.
PDF wins the moment there is more than one image, or the images are meant to be read as a document. Order is preserved, pages are numbered, printing is predictable, and the recipient opens one file rather than fifteen. Should you need the pictures back as separate files, PDF to PNG reverses the process.
Questions fréquentes
What happens to transparency in a PNG?
Transparent areas are flattened onto the page, so they appear white in the PDF. The visible part of the image is unchanged.
Can I mix PNG and JPG in the same document?
Each tool takes one input format. Convert each set separately and then join the resulting PDFs with the Merge PDF tool.
Will the screenshots stay sharp?
Yes. Images are embedded at their original resolution, so a screenshot stays exactly as sharp as it was on screen.
Can I put several images on one page?
No — each image becomes its own page. To place several pictures on a single sheet, arrange them in a document first and use the Word to PDF tool.
Is there a limit on file size?
One image can be up to 100 MB, and there is no limit on how many files you convert per day.
Are my files stored anywhere?
Uploads are deleted from the server automatically one hour after processing, and no account is needed to use the tool.
