How to Convert PNG to PDF

PNG is the format most screenshots, diagrams and logos are saved in, mainly because it supports transparent backgrounds. Converting a PNG to PDF works the same way as any other image, with one detail worth knowing first.

What happens to transparency

PDF pages do not support see-through backgrounds the way PNG files can. When you convert a transparent PNG, the transparent areas are filled in as white in the finished PDF. For a screenshot on a white background this is invisible; for a logo with a transparent background, it is worth checking the result before sending it anywhere important.

Converting your PNG

Choose your PNG file (or several) in the Image to PDF tool, arrange them in the order you want if you have more than one, and pick your page settings. Fit to Page keeps the whole image visible with a small border; Fill Page stretches it to cover the page edge to edge, which suits full-page screenshots.

Press Convert Images to PDF and download the file once it is ready.
