    About the Pathine PNG to PDF

    Puts PNG images into a PDF, one per page, without putting them through a JPEG on the way. PNGs are embedded as the original data, so the sharp edges that made you save a PNG in the first place — screen text, thin rules, flat colour, a diagram's hairlines — arrive in the document exactly as they left the screen.

    This is the difference that matters for PNG specifically. Converters that redraw every image as a JPEG turn crisp black text on white into a grey halo of compression artefacts, and it is most obvious on precisely the content people keep as PNG: screenshots, charts, wireframes and logos.

    The document is assembled in this browser tab, with no upload and no account. Transparent areas are placed on white, since a PDF page is paper and paper is not see-through.


    When you'd reach for it

    Screenshots that have to be sent as one document

    Bug reports, support threads and booking confirmations are easier to send, print and file as a single paginated PDF than as a folder of images.

    Charts and diagrams for a report

    Exports from design and analytics tools are usually PNG. Keeping them lossless through the conversion is what stops the axis labels going fuzzy.

    Design mockups for review or sign-off

    A PDF opens on anything, keeps the screens in order, and can be annotated by whoever is reviewing it — none of which is true of a zip of PNGs.

    Certificates, tickets and passes saved as images

    Plenty of sites hand you a PNG when the thing you needed was a printable document. This turns it into one at the right page size.


    How to convert PNG to PDF

    1. Add your PNGs

      Drop them, choose them, or paste a screenshot directly from the clipboard — that last one skips saving the file at all.

    2. Order the pages

      Drag the rows or use the arrows. Thumbnails and pixel dimensions are shown for each, which is usually how you tell one screenshot from another.

    3. Choose the page shape

      "Fit to image" keeps each page the exact shape of the screenshot with no white bars. A4 or US Letter is the right answer if it is going to be printed.

    4. Save

      The PDF downloads immediately. Nothing was uploaded and your original PNGs are unchanged.


    Common questions

    Are PNGs re-compressed as JPEGs?

    No. A PNG goes into the document as PNG data, which is lossless — text stays sharp and flat colour stays flat. That is the main reason to convert a screenshot here rather than with a tool that rasterises everything to JPEG.

    What happens to transparent areas?

    They are placed against white, because a PDF page is a sheet of paper rather than a layer. If the transparency is load-bearing — a logo meant to sit on a colour — composite it onto the background you want before converting.

    Will the PDF be very large?

    It can be. PNG is lossless, so a page of photographic content saved as PNG is many times the size of the same page as JPEG. For screenshots and diagrams this is a fair trade; for photos it is not, and the PDF Compressor will bring the file back down without touching any text.

    Is anything uploaded?

    No. The whole conversion runs in this browser tab, so the screenshots — which routinely contain email addresses, account numbers and half of somebody's inbox — never leave your device.

    Can I paste a screenshot instead of saving it first?

    Yes. Copy it to the clipboard and press paste anywhere on this page; it is added to the list like any other image. Most screenshot shortcuts can copy straight to the clipboard without ever writing a file.

    Can I mix PNGs with photos?

    Yes — JPG, WebP, HEIC and the rest can all go into the same document. Each keeps whichever embedding path suits it, so the photos stay JPEG and the screenshots stay lossless.
