Convert PNG to PDF
PNG goes into PDF losslessly — screenshots, diagrams and receipts keep every crisp pixel, embedded on a page that matches the image exactly. It is the fastest way to turn a screenshot into something a form, client or bureaucracy will accept as "a document". Nothing uploads; the PDF is assembled on your device.

How it works
Add screenshots or graphics — every PNG stays pixel-perfect through the whole trip.
One image, one page: the PDF page matches your PNG’s dimensions exactly, and the lossless embed keeps screenshot text sharp.
Take each document separately, or collect them all in a single zip.
PNG vs PDF
Nothing improves visually when a screenshot becomes a PDF — the pixels transfer losslessly either way. What changes is standing: a PDF reads as an official document to forms and bureaucracies, prints predictably, and can’t be casually edited. That’s worth the wrapper exactly when a process requires it.

Frequently asked questions
No — that is the whole reason I built this. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device; there is no server in the loop at all. It also means the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded, and there is no file size limit beyond your device’s memory.
Yes — PDF stores PNG-style image data losslessly, so text in screenshots stays razor sharp. If file size matters more than perfect fidelity (say, a photo saved as PNG), convert with PNG to JPG first and use the JPG to PDF tool; photographic PNGs make heavy PDFs.
PDF pages have a white background by default, so transparent regions will appear white in most viewers. For graphics designed on transparency this usually looks right; if you need a specific background color, flatten the PNG onto it in an editor first.
Because forms, ticketing systems and official processes often accept only PDF. A screenshot of a confirmation, receipt or ID card converted this way keeps full quality and passes the "PDF only" gate — and doing it in the browser means the sensitive content stays with you.
For a person, rarely; for a process, completely. A screenshot sent as PNG can be viewed anywhere, but ticketing systems, legal intake forms and government portals routinely reject anything that is not a PDF. The conversion is lossless here, so the choice costs no quality either way — it is purely about which gatekeeper stands between your image and where it needs to go.
Two come up regularly. Booklets and multi-page scans: each image becomes its own single-page PDF for now, so a ten-page document arrives as ten files in a zip rather than one bound PDF — combine mode is on the roadmap. And casual sharing: if the recipient just needs to see the screenshot, the raw PNG previews faster in chat apps and email than a wrapped document does.
