What is a PNG to PDF Converter?
A PNG to PDF converter transforms image files (PNG, JPG, and other formats) into professional PDF documents. Our converter processes everything in your browser, ensuring your images and documents remain completely private.
Converting images to PDF is essential for creating professional documents from screenshots, scanned documents, receipts, or photos. PDFs maintain consistent formatting across all devices and operating systems, making them the universal standard for document sharing.
This tool is ideal for students converting handwritten notes and diagrams into submission-ready PDFs, professionals creating polished documents from screenshots and charts, photographers delivering image portfolios in PDF format, and anyone who needs to combine multiple images into a single shareable document.
Compared to using Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Print to PDF (which requires opening each image individually), or online converters that upload your files to cloud servers, PureXio's converter is faster, more private, and supports batch conversion. You can convert multiple images at once, arrange their order, and adjust page sizing — all without leaving your browser.
The tool supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, and other common image formats. Output PDFs maintain the original image resolution and can be configured for different page sizes (A4, Letter, custom dimensions).
Best for: converting single or multiple images to PDF. Supports PNG, JPG, WebP, and more. Batch processing with custom page sizes. Fully private.
How to Convert PNG to PDF
Drop PNG image files (or click to browse). You can add multiple PNGs—they'll become separate PDF pages
Arrange PNG order if adding multiple files. Each PNG becomes one PDF page maintaining original dimensions
Click 'Convert to PDF' and download your PDF. PNG transparency is preserved, and images maintain original resolution
Common Use Cases
Convert 5 PNG screenshots of a software interface into a single PDF documentation file
Combine 10 scanned document PNGs (from a scanner) into one PDF for easy sharing and archiving
Convert a PNG diagram or flowchart to PDF format for inclusion in a presentation
Create a PDF portfolio from 20 PNG design images, each becoming a separate page
Convert PNG screenshots of receipts or invoices to PDF for record-keeping
Combine multiple PNG photos into one PDF document for email sharing
Convert PNG logos or graphics to PDF for professional document use
Features
Limitations & Constraints
Very large PNG files (>20MB each) may process slowly when converting to PDF
PNG images with transparency are preserved, but some PDF viewers may display transparency differently
Multiple PNGs create multi-page PDFs—each PNG becomes one page in the order uploaded
PNG resolution determines PDF page size—high-resolution PNGs create large PDF files
Animated PNGs (APNG) convert only the first frame to PDF—animation is lost
Troubleshooting
PDF creation fails or shows error
Solution: Ensure PNG files are valid image format. Try converting PNGs one at a time, or check if files are corrupted. Verify the PNG files open correctly in an image viewer. If some PNGs fail, try converting them individually to identify problematic files. Prevention: Use standard PNG format. Avoid corrupted or unusual PNG variants.
PDF file size is very large
Solution: PNG resolution determines PDF size. High-resolution PNGs (3000×4000 pixels) create large PDFs. Consider resizing PNGs before conversion using our Image Resize tool, or use PNG compression tools first. For web use, 150-200 DPI is usually sufficient. Prevention: Resize large PNGs before conversion if file size is a concern.
Transparency lost in PDF or appears as white background
Solution: Some PDF viewers don't display transparency correctly. The transparency is preserved in the PDF, but viewers may render it as white. Try opening the PDF in different viewers (Adobe Reader, Chrome PDF viewer). For guaranteed transparency display, convert PNG to non-transparent format first, or use desktop software with transparency support. Prevention: Test PDF in multiple viewers to verify transparency rendering.
Multiple PNGs appear in wrong order in PDF
Solution: PDF pages are created in the order PNGs are uploaded. Reorder PNG files before conversion—remove all files and add them in the desired sequence. The first PNG uploaded becomes page 1, second becomes page 2, etc. Prevention: Upload PNGs in the correct order from the start.
PDF pages are wrong size or don't match PNG dimensions
Solution: PDF page size matches PNG dimensions exactly. If pages seem wrong size, the PNG itself may have unexpected dimensions. Check PNG dimensions in an image viewer. For standard page sizes (A4, Letter), resize PNGs to those dimensions first using our Image Resize tool. Prevention: Verify PNG dimensions before conversion if specific page size is required.
