Does it work with screenshots?

PNG to PDF wraps a transparent or opaque raster image inside a portable document container that opens identically on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and inside every modern browser. Designers ship PNG mockups to clients as PDFs because email gateways and corporate firewalls reject raw image attachments more often than they reject PDFs, and PDF preserves the precise pixel dimensions and DPI metadata that recipients need to print at the intended size. The PNG itself is embedded without re-compression, so quality is identical to the source.

Multi-page PNG to PDF is the workflow most users actually need - scanning a contract on a phone, cropping each page as PNG to preserve sharp text and signatures, then combining them into a single PDF for upload to a portal or e-signature service. PNG preserves text edges far better than JPG at the scanning stage because the lossless compression doesn't blur black-on-white characters. The trade-off is file size: a 10-page PNG-to-PDF can easily reach 30-50MB versus 3-5MB for the JPG equivalent.

Page size matters for printed output. A4 (210 x 297mm) is the international standard; US Letter (8.5 x 11in) is North American default; choose Auto if you want the page to match the image's pixel dimensions exactly. If the PNG includes transparency, the PDF renderer composites it over white by default - bring in a colored background layer before converting if you need a non-white backdrop. For the reverse trip see PDF to JPG.

Reasons to convert PNG to PDF usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

• An app or platform only accepts PDF uploads.
• You need a feature unique to PDF (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that PNG doesn't provide.
• You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
• You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

1. Open the PNG → PDF tool on jpg.now.
2. Drag your PNG file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
3. The output is fixed to PDF. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

• Scan documents at 300 DPI minimum for legible PDF output - lower resolutions look soft when the recipient zooms in to verify signatures or fine print.
• Upload pages in the exact order you want them - the PDF is assembled by upload sequence, not by filename, so drag them in deliberately.
• For multi-page contracts, run compress-png first - a 50MB PDF often gets blocked by Gmail's 25MB attachment limit.
• If your PNG has transparency you want preserved, deliver as PNG instead - PDF flattens alpha against a background during embed.
• Choose A4 for clients in Europe, Asia, Australia; Letter for US and Canada - mismatched page sizes cause awkward scaling at the printer.
