Does converting PNG to PDF lose quality?

Will the PDF keep the transparent background?

No. PDF can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background colour you pick in Settings (white by default).

Saving a PNG screenshot or chart as a one-page PDF

A PNG screenshot of a booking confirmation, a chart for a report or a form saved as PNG often needs to travel as a PDF: some portals accept only documents, and a PDF prints predictably. This converter places the PNG on a single page cut to the picture's own proportions, with no margins.

Two settings matter for PNG in particular. The PDF page has no transparency, so transparent areas take the Background fill color, white by default; a light logo on a clear background may need a dark fill to stay visible. The picture is also stored inside the PDF as a JPEG, so zoom in on small type in the result and raise the slider toward 100 if the letters look soft.

One PNG makes one page. To turn several screenshots into a single document, combine them in order on A4 or Letter pages, or join PDFs you already made. If someone needs to search or copy the words in the screenshot, create a searchable PDF instead.
