What This Tool Actually Does

This converter builds a PDF from your PNG images using jsPDF, entirely in your browser. Each image becomes one page. Reordering happens through hover-revealed up/down arrows on each thumbnail, not drag-and-drop.

One detail worth knowing before you convert a PNG specifically: every image is embedded as a JPEG, and JPEG has no transparency channel. If your PNG has a transparent background — a logo, an icon, a graphic — that transparency will be flattened to a solid background in the PDF rather than staying see-through. For photos and screenshots without transparency, this has no effect at all.

How to Convert PNG to PDF

  1. Upload your PNG images. Open the converter above and drop in one or more PNG files, or click to browse.
  2. Reorder if needed. Hover over a thumbnail and use the up/down arrow buttons to change its position — there's no drag-and-drop reordering.
  3. Choose layout options. Pick a page size (A4, Letter, or Fit to Image), orientation, and margin.
  4. Convert to PDF. Click Convert to PDF. Each PNG becomes its own page, scaled and centered based on your settings.
  5. Download. The finished PDF downloads automatically.

Tool Limitations

  • Transparent PNG backgrounds are flattened — not preserved as transparent.
  • Reordering is hover-and-click, not drag-and-drop.
  • Images are re-encoded as JPEG during embedding, which can affect very fine detail.
  • Fit to Image assumes 96 DPI when converting pixel dimensions to a physical page size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert multiple PNG images to one PDF?+

Yes. Upload several PNG images and the tool combines them into a single PDF, one image per page, in the order shown in the list.

Does converting PNG to PDF keep transparency?+

No. Every image is embedded into the PDF as a JPEG, and JPEG has no alpha channel, so a transparent PNG's see-through areas will be flattened to a solid background instead of staying transparent. This mainly matters for logos or graphics with a transparent background — check the output before relying on it for anything design-sensitive.

Can I reorder my PNGs before converting?+

Yes, but only through hover-revealed up/down arrow buttons on each thumbnail — there is no drag-and-drop reordering.

Can I mix PNG and JPG images in the same PDF?+

Yes. This converter accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP, so you can combine formats in a single batch even on this PNG-focused page.

Can I choose the PDF page size?+

Yes. Choose A4, Letter, or Fit to Image page size, plus portrait or landscape orientation for A4/Letter.

What does "Fit to Image" do?+

It creates a PDF page sized to match each image's own pixel dimensions (assuming 96 DPI), instead of placing it onto a standard A4 or Letter page.

Is the PNG to PDF conversion free?+

Yes. The tool is completely free with no signup, no watermarks, and no upload to any server.

Does converting PNG to PDF reduce image quality?+

Every image is re-encoded as JPEG when it's embedded, which is a lossy format. For photos and screenshots this usually isn't visibly noticeable, but a PNG with sharp edges, transparency, or fine detail can show some change from the original.

Does this tool upload my images to a server?+

No. Images are assembled into a PDF locally in your browser using jsPDF.

Can I use this for screenshots saved as PNG?+

Yes. Combining several screenshots into one PDF is a common use case — add them in order, choose a page size, and convert.
