PNG to PDF

Turn PNG images, screenshots and scans into PDF documents.

To put several pictures into one PDF, use Images to PDF.

A PDF is easier to email, print or send to a form that only takes PDFs, and the picture keeps its sharp edges on the page.

Almost any file

Images, vector art, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks and archives: more than 400 conversions. Before anything runs, Filebender says what a conversion will lose and estimates the size of video, audio and many pictures; other files show their size once converted. It compresses PDFs, pictures and videos to the size you choose.

No ads, no watermarks

With a free account: 20 files a day, 2 of them videos, each up to 500 MB. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your files. A pass is one payment that never renews, and one you haven't used can be refunded in full.

Private by default

Files are deleted an hour after converting, or at once when you ask, and photo location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Photos converted to JPG, PNG or WebP are done on your device when your browser can, so they never leave it. They still need your account and count towards your plan.

How to convert PNG to PDF

  1. Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
  2. Choose your PNG files: drop them on the box, pick them from your computer, open them from Google Drive, or paste a link.
  3. Pick the format each file should become. The gear button has size, quality and other settings.
  4. Press “Convert”, then download each file, or all of them in one ZIP.

Sharp text and lines

PNG is the usual format for screenshots and diagrams because it never blurs edges. The picture keeps its full resolution on the PDF page, so text in a screenshot stays crisp and readable, even when someone zooms in.

Logos and transparent pictures

A logo or icon on a transparent background sits on white in the PDF. If it's meant for a dark page, choose a dark colour under Fill for transparent areas in the settings, so its edges blend in as they should.

Page size and long screenshots

The page takes the picture's size and shape unless you choose A4 or Letter, which scales it to fit the paper. A tall screenshot of a whole web page becomes one long page; fitted to A4, it's scaled down, which can make its text small.

One PDF per picture

Each PNG becomes its own one-page PDF, named after the picture.

To gather several screenshots into one PDF, in the order you choose, use Images to PDF, which works on your device. You need to be signed in to your account, and the PDF counts as one file.

Questions

Which suits a PDF better, PNG or JPG?

PNG for screenshots, diagrams and anything with text, which stay sharp. JPG for photos, which it stores far more compactly.

Is the text in my screenshot searchable?

No: in the PDF it's still part of a picture. Make a PDF Searchable reads it and adds a layer of text you can search and copy.

Can I resize the picture first?

Yes. The gear has the resize settings, such as a percentage or a longest side, which make a smaller PDF from a large screenshot.

What happens to transparent areas?

A PDF page can't be see-through here, so they're filled with white, or any colour you pick in the settings.

Is Filebender free?

Yes, with a free account: 20 files every day (up to 2 of them videos), each up to 500 MB, with no watermark and no ads. Make the account with Google or your email address. Files converted on your device count the same way as the rest. If you need more, a Day, Week or Month Pass is one payment that never renews; see the Pricing page.

What happens to my files?

It depends on the file. Pictures your browser can convert itself, and everything you do with the PDF tools, from merging and splitting PDFs to putting photos into one, are handled on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to send a file to Filebender's servers. They still need your account: Filebender receives only their type and size, to count them against your plan like any other file. Everything else is converted on Filebender's servers on Google Cloud and deleted an hour after the conversion finishes, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”. Nobody looks at your files, and they're never used for anything else.
