About This Tool

Instantly convert any screenshot into a polished PDF document — ideal for documentation, bug reports, tutorials, and record-keeping. Unlike generic image-to-PDF converters, this tool is purpose-built for single screenshots: it defaults to a page size that exactly matches your image so nothing is cropped or padded with unnecessary whitespace. Need a standard paper format instead? Switch to A4 or Letter and the screenshot will be automatically scaled and centered with clean margins, ready for printing or formal submission. Everything runs entirely in your browser — your screenshots are never uploaded to any external server, keeping sensitive screen captures completely private.

How to Use

  1. 1Click the upload area or drag and drop a single screenshot image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or BMP).
  2. 2Select a page size: "Fit to Image" keeps the PDF page identical to your screenshot dimensions, while A4 or Letter scales the image onto standard paper.
  3. 3Choose an orientation — "Auto" will detect whether the screenshot is wider or taller and pick landscape or portrait accordingly.
  4. 4Click "Convert" to generate the PDF.
  5. 5Review the output metadata (image dimensions, page size, orientation) and download your finished PDF.
  6. 6Share, print, or archive your screenshot PDF as needed.

When to Use

  • When you need to attach a screenshot to a formal document, report, or email as a PDF.
  • When filing a bug report that requires a screenshot in PDF format for an issue tracker or support portal.
  • When creating step-by-step documentation or tutorials and each screenshot needs to be a separate PDF page.
  • When archiving important screen captures — receipts, confirmations, or web page snapshots — in a universally readable format.
  • When preparing evidence or records for legal, compliance, or audit purposes that require PDF submission.
  • When converting a UI mockup or wireframe screenshot into a portable PDF for stakeholder review.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use "Fit to Image" (the default) to get a pixel-perfect PDF with no white borders — ideal for sharing screenshots digitally.
  • Switch to A4 or Letter when the PDF will be printed, so it maps cleanly to physical paper with proper margins.
  • For the sharpest results, capture your screenshot at native resolution (avoid scaling or compressing before conversion).
  • PNG screenshots generally produce the best quality in the PDF; JPEG works well for photos but may show compression artifacts on text-heavy screens.
  • "Auto" orientation is recommended for most screenshots — it detects whether the image is wider or taller and rotates the page to match.
  • If your screenshot has a transparent background (PNG), the transparent areas will appear white in the PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The entire conversion runs locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. Your screenshot never leaves your device, making this tool safe for sensitive or confidential screen captures.

The tool accepts JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp), and BMP (.bmp). These cover virtually all screenshot formats produced by operating systems, browser extensions, and screen-capture utilities.

When "Fit to Image" is selected, the PDF page dimensions are set to exactly match your screenshot's pixel dimensions (at 1 pixel = 1 PDF point). This means no margins, no cropping, and no scaling — the image fills the entire page perfectly.

Auto orientation examines your screenshot's aspect ratio. If the image is wider than it is tall, the page is set to landscape; if it is taller than it is wide (or square), the page is set to portrait. This is only relevant for A4 or Letter page sizes — "Fit to Image" always matches the image exactly.

No. JPEG and PNG images are embedded directly into the PDF without re-encoding, so the original quality is fully preserved. WebP and BMP screenshots are converted to PNG at maximum quality before embedding, which is a lossless step.

This tool is optimized for a single screenshot per conversion to ensure the best full-page fit. If you need to combine multiple screenshots into one PDF, use the Image to PDF tool instead, which supports up to 10 images in a single document.

You can upload a screenshot up to 20 MB in size. This is more than enough for high-resolution screen captures — a full 4K screenshot in PNG format is typically 5-10 MB.

When you choose A4 or Letter, the screenshot is proportionally scaled to fit within the printable area (page dimensions minus a 0.5-inch margin on each side) while preserving its original aspect ratio. The image is then centered both horizontally and vertically on the page.
