Convert PNG to PDF

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

Drop your PNG images and download them as one PDF, each image becoming a page. Screenshots, scanned pages and exported diagrams all work well.

An optional size cap compresses the result just enough to fit an upload limit, leaving quality untouched when no limit is set.

Because PNG is lossless, screenshots of text stay sharp in the resulting document rather than acquiring the halo artefacts that JPG produces around letters.

How to convert PNG to PDF

  1. Add your PNG images — one or many.
  2. Drag them into the page order you want.
  3. Choose a page size, or fit each page to the image.
  4. Press Convert to PDF (it names how many images) and download the document.

Sharp pages from screenshots and diagrams

With No limit, each PNG goes into the PDF without loss: every pixel is kept exactly, so screenshots of text, exported diagrams and black-and-white scans keep their sharp edges. Areas that are transparent in the PNG show the white of the page behind them, on screen and on paper.

The price of lossless pictures is size. A full-colour screenshot, or a photo that was saved as PNG, holds far more data than the same picture as JPG, and the PDF grows with every one you add.

Keeping a document of screenshots small

A Max file size only acts when the PDF built without loss is over it. It then turns every PNG into a JPG and shrinks them step by step until the file fits, as explained on /jpg-to-pdf. For screenshots of text, JPG compression softens the letters, so two other routes often keep them sharper.

First, cut each screenshot down to the part that matters with /crop-image: fewer pixels make a smaller file without touching the quality of what is left. Second, reduce the number of colours in each PNG with /compress-image, which keeps it a PNG, and then build the PDF here with No limit.

Tall screenshots and page size

A phone screenshot is much taller in proportion than an A4 or Letter page. On those page sizes it is scaled down until its whole height fits, which can leave a narrow strip of small text in the middle of the page. Fit to image instead makes each page the exact shape of its screenshot, one point per pixel, so the page fills the screen when opened on a phone. A wide screenshot on A4 or Letter gets a landscape page automatically.

The picker here shows PNG files. To combine PNG with JPG or HEIC photos in one document, use /image-to-pdf, which takes any mix in the same list.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs inside your browser using your own device’s processing power, and the file is not uploaded. Once a tool has been used once (video, text recognition and background removal download their engine from this site the first time), it keeps working when your connection drops.
Does transparency survive the conversion?
PDF pages have a white background, so transparent areas in a PNG appear white in the finished document.
Can I mix PNG and JPG images?
This page’s picker shows PNG files. To combine PNG with JPG or HEIC photos in one PDF, use Image to PDF, which takes any mix in one list and keeps the order you set.
