How to Convert PNG Images to PDF
Put screenshots, scanned pages, diagrams, or other PNG images into one PDF. Follow these preparation and quality checks to make the final document easier to share.
When PNG-to-PDF is useful
A PDF can keep several images together in one file for sharing, printing, or submission. This is useful for screenshots, scanned forms, diagrams, and image-based records. Converting images into a PDF does not automatically make the text inside those images selectable; OCR is needed for that.
Prepare and order your images
Select the PNG files that belong in the document. Select the PNG files, then use the up/down controls in PDFiva to set the page order before creating the PDF. Check that each image is readable, correctly oriented, and not cropped. If the images represent pages of a form or report, make sure no page is missing.
Convert PNG to PDF with PDFiva
- Open the PNG to PDF tool.
- Select one or more PNG images.
- Review the selection and intended page order where shown.
- Start conversion and wait for the new PDF to be created.
- Download the PDF and open it in a viewer.
Check page size and readability
Open the result and inspect each page. Look for unexpected cropping, rotated images, uneven margins, or text that becomes too small at normal viewing size. Image dimensions and the PDF library’s page-placement rules affect how an image fits on the page. If the PDF is intended for printing, check page dimensions and print preview as well.
Choosing PNG or JPG
PNG is often useful for graphics, screenshots, and sharp text edges. JPG may be more compact for photographs. If a PNG file is already clear, conversion to PDF will not improve its resolution; it simply places the image into a document container.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine several PNG files into one PDF?
The tool is designed to create PDF pages from selected PNG images. Check the final page count to make sure every image was included.
Will the PDF contain selectable text?
Text that exists only as pixels in an image will remain image content unless OCR is applied separately.
Are the images uploaded?
The current workflow is designed for browser-side processing rather than sending the selected images to a PDFiva document-processing endpoint. Review the privacy policy for broader site information.
