About this tool

PNG is what your computer produces when you take a screenshot, and what design tools export when an image needs a transparent background or crisp flat colour. Neither travels well as an attachment when the recipient expects a document.

PNG is lossless, so unlike a JPEG it has not already thrown away detail. Text in a screenshot stays sharp when it becomes a PDF page, which matters if anyone will print it or zoom in.

How to png to pdf

  1. Add your PNG files. Screenshots, exports and diagrams all work.
  2. Order them with the arrows — each becomes one page.
  3. Choose page size and margin, then select Create PDF.

Common questions

What happens to transparent areas?

They become white. PDF pages are opaque, so transparency has to resolve to something, and white matches the page.

Is PNG better than JPG for this?

For screenshots, diagrams and anything with text or flat colour, yes — PNG keeps edges crisp. For photographs, JPG is smaller with no visible difference.

Will the PDF be large?

PNG is lossless, so a full-screen screenshot can be several megabytes and the PDF reflects that. Run the result through Compress PDF if size becomes a problem.
